Today for our weekly service project, my friends and I went to, what in reality, was an elderly day care. I think we were put into the senile section though, since I was stalked about by various men (over 80) who wanted me to carry their children. Yikes.
One woman had been overtaken by Alzheimers, but her caretaker told us she used to be part of a girls group called The Cookies in the 1960s, and she was a backup singer for Ray Charles. Today, she just lurks about and stares at people, and elbows the old personnel. Looking beneath the surface never ceases to be amusing.
Another woman, named Juanita, related everything to alcohol. She also won several thousand dollars in bingo competitions in her day, so she's a bit of a bingo celebrity.
Henry, who loves old (I mean old) cowboy movies, and sings randomly to fit the mood.
I loved today, and I'm happily prepared to become old and senile.
