Sunday, November 16
Roy and Deb were babysitting her cousin’s son Bryson for the weekend, and decided to join me and Mother High at Pleasant View Retirement Community for church.
I chose to go to church with mother since it didn’t suit either Cerwin’s brother or sister – and Cerwin was in Kentucky hunting.
After church we prepared to go for a walk, since Roy and Deb hadn’t seen some of the pretty areas of the home that I had discovered.
I was not familiar with much of the interior of Pleasant View prior to mother’s stay here. I have been here to visit people now and then, but never went farther than that person’s room.
Church is over at 11:00 AM and lunch doesn’t begin until noon, so we had plenty of time.
Deb and I in the elevator waiting for Roy, Mother, and Bryson.
Bryson stayed on Mother’s lap the whole time – about forty-five minutes.
Mother loved that.
Enjoying the pretty view outside one of the sitting areas.
A pretty fall decoration on one of the side tables.
Bryson wanted down from great-grandma’s lap when he saw these two.
After this we went to Mother’s room for a few minutes before lunch.
“Hey, this was across the hall, do you think grandma can use it?”
“No. Okay, I will take it back.”
Enjoying banana cream pie for dessert.
After Roy and Deb left us, they took Bryson back to his parents, Bryan and Leslie.

Mother continues to improve. I went along with her to a checkup on Monday. The surgeon is very pleased with how the hip area has healed.
A Pleasant View therapist told me that they are ready for Landis Homes to evaluate her and determine when she is ready to return. Mother is anxious to see her new “home”, as she will be living in a different area of Landis Homes. Prior to her fall she lived independently in an apartment. She will now be living with some nursing assistance.
I love the shot of both you and Deb taking a photo of the mirror with Bryson, Mother High, and Roy! That looks like a very pleasant rehab center! And it sounds as if Mother High is doing really well!
I like that shot too.
I worked at Pleasant View for many years. When I had week end managers duty which required walks though all areas, I would be sure to be near that bridge as the sun was setting. What a view!
So glad your Mother in law is recovering so nicely.
I will have to remember that – go to the bridge at sunset – and with my camera. 🙂
Grace Village has a “bridge” like that too. Bryson looks like a good-natured little fellow.
Bryson is good-natured, and so much fun.
She is looking wonderful!
