Oh Carolyn, did you ever put on a show . I am so proud of you. Nursing homes are so depressing to me and I am usually crying when I leave. So many of the lady patients love doll babies. Maybe you could make a stiffed animal or baby. Kay

So glad you were the belle of the ball. The people in nursing homes are just like everyone else and desperate for normalcy as well as companion, a kind word or just a hug. I'm so happy you went and gave them some thing else to thing! Looks like a nice selection and lots of fun. Hugs and ****for you, my friend.

Good for you, Carolyn - well done! I use to work in the office at a nursing home (one of my first jobs). The residents were usually so sweet - just wanting some attention and a smile - thank you!!

May God continue to bless you as you bless others Carolyn. How wonderful of you to do this for these lovely older folk. I'm with Kay, I hate visiting Nursing Homes, always end up crying. I sing at our local one during the Christmas season and it moves me to tears. What a lovely assortment of goodies too. I bet Donnie and Frank were very proud of you, as we all are. Love Chris

Carolyn, I pray that you are doubly blessed as richly as you bless others.
You are certainly a jewel for sharing with those less fortunate.

It is so great you are able to do this bit of service for the residents at this nursing home. I worked at a few different centers through high school and college and saw how desperately the residents just wanted visitors. So often groups would start visiting just after Thanksgiving and through Christmas then there would be very few visitors for several months and you could see just how much they missed having a visit.
Thank you so much for putting smiles on their faces in another month besides December. A huge cyber hug for all you do!

So glad everything went well, the residents would have been very excited to see your machine and hear you talk about its magical powers.. Always new you were an angel in disguise. Marian.. be extra careful driving with the snow..

It must feel good, isn't great those people enjoy your presence with the magical machine. I have such a day in a few weeks, in an elderly care home. And I agree it's always so warm in there.... What a difference for you when you came outside in the snow. Take care , be careful in the snow. Hugs Gerry
