Another rainy day and a little bit less snow with some green showing. I spent the afternoon with Harlan, took him out for a treat at Perkins. They are refinishing the floors in his building, removing old wax and putting on a new wax finish to be buffed later. It's hard for Harlan as he is not sure where he should walk. When I came I had to wait in the elevator until the wax was dry, by the time we went for our treat they were done with today's job.
One of the staff told me she has hit on an idea to get Harlan to come out to eat his meals, she goes to his room and tells him there is something she has to show him at the desk and he comes out with her and discovers that his meal is there and tells her he has to eat and forgets about what ever she was going to show him, this has worked for her for several days, she wants him to eat at least two meals daily. There are some there that are looking for their next meal just after finishing one, not Harlan he'd rather sleep.
I had a wonderful surprise when I got home, on the bench out side my door was a container with a note on top - Hot Soup. Rale next door had put it there and it was perfect temperature for eating and very good.
Today was a good day.............Fran
That was so sweet of Rale.
