Mr Burton

Earthly chains bind him no more
His eyes have been opened and he sees
Legs now strong he walks again
Don't mourn for him he has gone home

Don't turn your back

Fire truck just left the old folks home.

Listening to police/fire/ambulance calls on the computer seems it was a false alarm.

Resident pulled the fire alarm they said.

Guess somebody is bored and just wanted to see the firemen.

These little ole gray haired Grannies don't turn your back on them!

Don't trash it

I have been promised home cooked collards,potato salad and cornbread by a friend for tomorrow.

Last night on my way to the shower I over heard some CNA'S talking about what they had ordered for supper.Ya'll making me hungry I said.One brought me some fries they had left over really waffle fries from Chic Fillet.They were great.

Nurse giving me my insulin shot last night showed me pictures on her phone of catfish she caught.Asked if I liked fish and I was honest and said not to much but I dearly crave the trimmings of fries,onion rings and hush puppies.So maybe let's just keep our fingers crossed and our forks out and ready.

Yeah you probably know the routine...got any kind of food left over don't trash it bring it to me.

The last french fry

That last french fry.

You know the one that you find in your hamburger sack after you thought they were all gone.

Ain't that one the best?

Same way with peanuts in the shell.

Admit it you have done this,scrounging around between the couch cushions looking for loose change or the TV remote and you hit the jackpot and find that one solitude peanut in the shell and it's the best tasting thing and you crave for more.

Yeah you know what I'm talking about.

Rumor

Rumor is.

The hospital that owns this old folks home might be up for sale.

Lay offs of 75 people at the hospital I heard.Only 5 patients on one of the floors.

Is this that Obama thing kicking in or what?

Someone said that hospitals today don't want nursing homes so what will happen who knows.

The hospital has this home plus another and hospice.

It's really is scary.

I joke about it but living under a railroad bridge might be an option for the future.

Looking for a clean paste board box big enough for one just in case.
