last weekend we visited my grandmother at her new senior home. they were having a chinese moon festival so a few of her daughters and their families came to visit. this was also a good weekend for us to help hang photos in her new room.

half way through the festival my grandmother (and the rest of us) decided we’d had enough of the loud karaoke music. these photos were taken from the second floor balcony/bridge looking down on the residents and their guests.
(left) back in my grandmother’s room… my grandmother seems to be settling in well. she complains that she can’t always eat the food, and that it’s too sunny, but she’s socializing and walking a lot more, using her walker to get to breakfast, lunch and dinner. (right) as usual, i forgot to take photos after all the frames were hung. (family photos definitely made her room look more lived in.) i think i was a little distracted by the fact that my family won three prizes in the raffle including the grand prize DVD player!
