After having members of the family in Navasota Nursing & Rehabilitation for nearly 16-1/2 years straight, it feels strange when I drive by and know our loved ones are gone. We still have friends there, so I try to stay involved in what’s going on. Recently I was given a list of items they needed for bingo prizes. Mary Catherine Schroeder and I gathered some of these items and I took them there. If you would like to help out, just like me you probably have some of these items stored away somewhere. They could use snacks such as cookies, pudding, brownies, animal crackers, goldfish, popcorn, cupcakes, ice cream, pretzels, coloring books, sketchbooks, Bible coloring books, word find books, notepads, calendars, journals, planners, magazines such as comics and news articles; hygiene supplies such as body wash, body sprays, hand soap and shampoo and conditioner sets; crayons such as markers, crayon pencils, glitter pens, ink pens, highlighters and permanent markers; drinks such as flavored water, diet drinks and Gatorade; and miscellaneous items such as purses, wallets, scarves and costume jewelry. The drop off point for any of these items is 1405 East Washington Ave. in Navasota. If you have any questions, contact the Activities Department, 936-825-6463.

My week has flown by and I am not sure what I actually accomplished. Little Man spent lots of time with me since he was not able to attend daycare, but we try to have fun. I can’t get on the floor to play ball, so I sit in a chair and roll the ball. Little Curtis Zwahr, Jr. was able to come home from the hospital and is doing good. I do know “Dappy” is happy about that. Please continue to pray for him and his family as they adjust to the changes they have had to endure. My oldest grandson, Jordan, turned 25, Aug. 11, does that make me offi cially old? Several of us ate at Atami last night to celebrate his special day. I made a cake and put 25 candles on it. As the chef started his show, Kaleigh said Paula Dean should back up because the flames might ignite her hairspray. She was talking about me, so I moved back up against the wall to avoid any additional flames!
