I am still staying at Virginia's as the cortisone into her hip has not worked at all. She is unable to put any weight onto her right leg and even turning it slightly is very painful for her.
Welcome to new readers tlong and kcgaz.
It was such a stunning day today. We went to the Brunch at the Chateau. What a spread! This is like no other Retirement Home I have ever been to. Here are some photos of the choices and some of the wonderful staff.

The brunch is amazing! So glad you could take V out for awhile. I am sure she appreciates it! Super pictures.
ReplyDeleteI bet V really enjoyed getting out even though it hurts. So did you get any of that apple pie that everybody was in line for?
ReplyDeleteJim and Sandie, it was a lovey drive. We bought some, bread, Apple Struedel and an Almond Ring at Dudley's. We just drove through Julian, no stopping. It was packed with tourists and V did not want to get out of the car again.
ReplyDeleteLove Julian...looks the same as the last time we were there 20 years ago. Hope you enjoyed the apple pie.
