There were nearly 50 people in the Brookdale Dining room this evening for musical entrainment this evening provided by young Ben Meyer and his Dad. Ben is obviously very talented and spoke of being more familiar with playing the organ at Church than the Piano. He played a variety of pieces without the benefit of music. Some of what he played were his own creations and others, recognized renditions. He and his Dad traded off after a few minutes. Dad confessed that he was just learning to play the Piano Accordion and has a way to go to reach the level expressed by young Ben. We had entertainment of a different nature with surveyors outside our window working on the installation of a drain to capture rain runoff from the building's roof. Larger eve troughs will also be installed. We are pleased to see it being done since our living room floor is only about three inches above the level of the patio. The drainage was one of my concerns as we selected this Unit. After being here now for a year, we are real appreciative of our location. Not only for our close proximity to the Dinning Room but also because of the quality of our Wifi.
We had our Tuesday morning coffee this morning with only Ernie Sabatka and I in attendence. Interestingly, we had an excellent visit. His family background and my Dad's family background were so similar that I'm sure some of our ancestors crossed paths. In addition to family, we also know or knew many of the same people in the Bohemian Alps area of the state. We will get together again for coffee on Thursday morning after alerting some of the folks about it on Wednesday evening. We just need to get a group in the Habit. Residents here have a wealth of stories to tell and it just takes showing a little bit of interest to bring them out.
