My christmas inspiration was going
church on Christmas Day with my family. We would go to one of my
Aunts or Uncles houses. We would
say Grace, then have a great dinner. We also switch for each
season. Getting together was a lot of fun. With all my love and
best wishes.

My Christmas will be very special this year because of my special little guy. It will be his first Christmas and it will be great to see his face when he sees the lights.
I will have my whole family for dinner and that is very important to me.

My daugher Sharlotte always makes every holiday exceptional just by her presence. We've always called her "Ms Holiday" because she enjoys each one and she especially enjoys Christmas because she loves giving gifts. She is one of our best earthly gifts...we are truly blessed.
My parents were farmers and when Christmas came my father would go into the woods for a tree. In N.C. at that time there were few fir trees, so I remember a huge prickly holly tree with berries and lots of homemade ornaments. In 1949 we got electricity and Mom bought bubble lights that looked like candles. There was no gift wrap but we found a brown paper bag with nuts, hard candy,raisins and an orange inside on Christmas morning. There was plenty to eat because Mom had cooked for two days. That memory is inspiring to me.
This holiday season, as in the past several years that I have lived at
Shirley Futch Plaza, I am inspired
by the extradinorary acts of kindness and the "above and beyond"
actions of the staff at The Plaza!
Gail,Sue,Stu,Tommy and Sharlotte, in addition to their day-to-day
work responsibilites, make certain
the residents are:
*Surrounded with the beauty
of the season with holiday decorations
*Entertained with craft projects,professional entertainers,planned programs and delicious treats
*Keep us safe as possible
*Always have a smile on their face no matter what challange
is presented as they come up with a solution
Thank you for the inspirations that
help me "age in place". Happy holidays to all!
