Lunch With Mom

I had tried to set up a friend lunch with Mona and Fred.  But apparently neither one was available.  Fred said he was helping someone move.
So after work I quickly stopped at a store.  Mom wanted some paper and a pen to set by her bed.  That way she can write things down as she thinks of them.  She did that at Creekside also, but never really wrote anything.
I stopped and dropped those items off and ended up having lunch with her in the main dining room.  It was sauteed shrimp on rice pilaf with roasted vegetables.  The cooks there really do a nice job.  We had a lovely lunch, a light conversation and we met Ron, another resident.
Mom is settling in much better now and seems much happier.  She is trying to get them to move her to the Manor side.  It won't happen, but she is welcome to eat on that side and join in any activity going on.  And her working on that, gives her something to do.
