Jeanne caught a particularly nasty stomach bug and needed to stay home and rest today. In her stead I went to AAMC to manage Dad's transfer to Spa Creek. Dad was able to muscle himself onto a gurney and was escorted to his new pad by two ambulance drivers. He's squared away in room #103 of Spa Creek, which lucky for him is a single! The staff seems super nice and Dad was delivered The Capital personally.
I stayed through his lunch which he raved about: french onion soup minus the onions and cheese. Apparently it tasted as good as it smelled. We also shared some great conversation before he was ready to nap.

I checked the link to the Spa Creek Center & it looks really healthy & supportive, esp. the room example. The french onion soup sounds great (I love it too!) & there's nothing like the home-town paper. I'm so glad he's home again!
ReplyDeleteValerie's become quite the connoisseur of fine wines; Dad & Jeanne both have liked those she's presented & I've attended a number of tastings w/ her. It was there that we found a West Virginia Mountain Spice wine that I think he'd like, as he'd mentioned liking those lighter & less tart like zinfandels.
As his first four children all hail from the same state, perhaps all his family (extended included!) might make an opportunity to gather together w/ him & share a sip in toast to him?
I know he's expressed the wish to see all of us together again. Just a thought...
