December 11 Block

Moving my mom to her new senior apartment went beautifully.  We had six family members and two very nice young moving guys.  By bedtime on Friday, it looked like Rosemary had lived there for years.  All the furniture fit.  Everything was in place.  We even had her little tabletop Christmas tree set up, and her niece, Diana, had brought a lovely Christmas decoration for her door.  The next day we did all the errands and shopping that she needed, then we left her to settle in.  When I talked to her today, she said she had dinner last night and brunch today in the dining room.  She is making new friends and reconnecting with old.  There are three other women there who went to high school with her.  It's like old home week....
