What can I say?
Tiffany's crazy.
In a good way.

She makes me laugh while providing my care.
Very few can compare.

We make videos and send them.
Just to say hey.

We go out to eat
Applebees is a fave.
About the appetizer platter.

Tiffany showed off her driving skills.
It was quite a thrill.

The road was narrow.
As we let an elk family pass.
Good thing we didn't run out of gas.
Tiffany's crazy
In a good way.

My rhyme's almost done.
It's been fun/
I've no more to say.
I appreciate you Tiffany.
You're crazy.
In a good way.

THERE WAS LAUGHTER

 Yesterday was an awesome day.  There was laughter here.  The staff talked to me. We joked around. I watched part of a  Medea movie with my staff. No one was negative toward me. The vibe in the house was chill. I was happy.

Wanna know what the coolest part of the day was? I went bowling!

 In college, I was on a bowling team of adults with disabilities. We bowled every Sunday at the old Arnea bowling alley in the city of  St. Louis. I loved it. It was the one thing I could do with minimal assistance. (Well, I can play the slots by myself since they got rid of that pesky arm and replaced it with a button.  I digress.)  

I used another player's bowling. ramp. I had a powder blue bowling ball with my name on it. We had a bowling banquet every year. I won several trophies.

I bowled a few times last year. I did not bowl during the winter. I hope i can go bowling more often now that spring has arrived. The weather is gorgeous.

I am fortunate to be a client of this agency. If I lived in a nursing home I would not be able to go bowling. In case you are interested I bowled two games. My score was 102 in the first game. I got three strikes.  My score in the second game was 91. No strikes in that game. It's all in how you position the ramp. I appreciate that bowling alleys have ramps available now.

My dad was a bowler. It's something we have in common. I wish he could have seen me bowl. I feel a connection to him when I am bowling.

I got a Greek salad from Panera on the way home. A perfect way to cap off the day. Thank you, Niejsa for a great day!
