Christmas Carols at Santa Ysabel House

The boys and I went to visit Mom today and not only were we surprised by Michelle and Alex popping in while we were there but we were blessed with Paul the Guitar Man that comes to sing to the residents. The boys got to make requests and we all sang Christmas carols for almost an hour. Mom seemed to enjoy the music and the boys being there. She said that "they will bring in some livelihood" to the house.

Here is a picture of the wonderful staff that has been taking care of Mom. She is actually awake in this photo but as usual she shuts her eyes in most of my photos. Abby is the cook and always has something wonderful smelling on the stove. Vince and Peter do most of the moving of the residents and keeping them comfortable and in clean living conditions. They are the nicest people.

Carmen, on the left, is Mom's roommate and speaks mostly Puerto Rican but every once in a while she'll talk in English. She is real sweet. Edna, on the right, is a little wisp of a woman who loves to walk around the house touching everything.





Max decided to relax and kick back while listening to Paul sing and play guitar. He is so funny at times. What a ham!
