Grandparents Day at Brookdale.

We were honored today by John bringing Sadie and Jack up to have Dinner with us today at the Brookdale Celebration of Grandparents Day. Julie is feeling better but not yet up to par. We spent a bit of time in our unit talking about all the things they have been doing. Jack seems to believe that he needs to be doing something while getting his picture taken even if it's "pursing" his lips like being ready to give a kiss. They were excited about getting out to the "Bouncy House Slide" as soon as Dinner was finished. Sadie got there ahead of Jack but he wasn't a bit bashful about getting his shoes off and going down the slide several times. I walked over to see the 5 old Model A Fords and was surprised to find old friend, Jim Cook the owner of one of them.
Jim spent a career as an attorney on the staff of the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission and the NE Department of Natural Resources. We worked together during most of the 1980's. He did much of the work on his old model A. After a couple engine problems with "restoration", he decided to "revamp" it to "sports car" status with a V8 engine etc. Brookdale Staff Director pitched right in and helped serve drinks to the large crown that turned out for the event. I think everyone who attended must have had a great impression of this facility and all the people who work here.
