Christmas Caroling

Monday Evening, December 14

DSC_5854The Christmas caroling committee at church assigned Landis Homes to our Sunday school class. Because one of the ladies from our church lives in the same area as Cerwin’s mother, I called the nurses station and asked if some of the residents could be brought to a large area of the Personal Care unit. They willingly brought several of them.

DSC_5855Our class has some great singers, so we sounded good. Cerwin’s mother is second from the left (next to Inge – from  TFC’s Inernational Office). Inge asked me a few days earlier if our church goes Christmas caroling. She had never gone caroling, and it was on her bucket list.

DSC_5857The four residents closest to the camera were the ones that I specifically asked the nurses to bring to this room. Harold & Lois Nissley, Myrtle Bomberger, and Myrtle White, as well as Cerwin’s mother – who is to the left of this picture. (Harold lives in a cottage and came on his own.)

DSC_5859Our last assignment was Brethren Village – another retirement community not far from Landis Homes. This was the entrance to Clara Rohrer’s apartment. I did not take any pictures there because the room was quite full.

DSC_5860Our last stop was Don Rohrer’s cottage.

DSC_5882Brooke was along with her Grandpa Shenks and chose to eat under a table. Maybe she thought we were too old for her. 🙂
