I've survived---so far

Can you believe this!! First they dig all the dirt from around my
 roots, and then steel I beams were driven in the ground all around
me--like I am going to escape. A solid wall was built between

the I beams, rebar was then installed and now--can you believe

it--concrete is being poured all aronund me. I think those are

little ants crawling around on the wall.

It certainly is impressive the things they are doing

 in here. I guess some day cars will be parked

in this hole. But I am glad when the day ends and

they go home. Then, maybe I can get some rest.

Activities, Activities, Activities

This lady is in charge of all the activities for independent living residents.

She is very busy and keeps everyone else busy if they want to keep

active. She is responsible for publishing the Athertonian--our weekly

news letter. She plans trips, overnight trips, day trips, and the "out to

lunch bunch" trip. Other activities are too numerous to mention. She is

much appreciated. 

Receptionist

Every place needs a receptionist and we have the best. Here

are two of them but others work shifts and weekends. They 

do more than answer the phone. They greet visitors, direct phone

 calls, take dining room reservations, cash checks, answer questions,

dole out stamps for letters and many, many other things.

Way to go ladies.

Therapy

According to the information around town, the therapy

crew at Atherton is one of the best.

Hope you don't need it but if you do--try it out

Don't sink the "eight" ball.

It's obvious this is a game of concentration, a steady

hand and a good eye.  A lot of fun is had when it comes

time for a pool tournament. There were only eight

entries this year. There are no losers, just non-

winners.

This is just part of the group of cheerers and

hecklers. That's what made it fun. Two women

and two men reached the finals.

The Winners were Norma, Don, Bob and Polly.

Hope to see you next year.
