Felt fine this morning. Took a shorter walk. At 10 set up for the Buddies meeting. The Buddies is a club of IL residents who buddy up with people in AL and SN, visiting them regularly. I had never attended one of their monthly meetings before. Ian usually runs their AV but he is away this week. The group surprised me by its size, at least 30 people, and by how much material they covered. Three members of the Lee Center staff came over to talk about different aspects of care and how to interact with people with memory or other problems.
At 3pm we had a meeting of the AV group. There were only 4 of us, other people traveling and such. One way or another we got the May schedule covered.
In the evening I went to the 4th floor lounge where Florrie had invited a bunch of people to view a video of the life of her late husband, Tom Forrest. I’d never met him; apparently he died not very long before I moved in. But on the basis of the video I would say I wish I had known him, a really cool, inventive, artistic guy and apparently a pioneer in preschool education.
