All the furniture finally arrived and has been rearranged several times.
We took Mom and Dad to their new home friday morning. I pictured two hysterical people and this was not the case. They were both fairly upbeat. Mother said goodbye house. We got in the car and went to Rite Aid, picked up medicine and said goodbye to the Pharmacist.
We arrived at Catherine Place and went straight to their new apt. The chairs are working out. The big handicapped bathroom is wonderful. We had a very nice lunch AND dinner at Catherine Place. Dad and Mom really enjoyed the grand piano concert friday night. They had a reasonably comfortable friday night.
They have been kept VERY busy. Breakfast is at 7:30 in the "chow hall". Dad pushes mom in a wheelchair. Lunch is at 11:30. Usually there is some sort of afternoon event. Their favorite is the people that come in to play the grand piano. There was also a blue grass group. The afternoon events lead into dinner at 5:00.
Mother has gone between hating all of us to semi enjoying herself. She very much wants to go back to her house. Unfortunately she is the one that needs all the help and is breaking all of our backs as we try to lift her out of the car.
Dad has no more grocery shopping to do. No house repairs. The staff help mom get dressed and dispense all the medicine. Dad is enjoying meeting the two "handy man" guys there and the residents.

That is great news! I'm glad everything went relatively smoothly. We sent a wreath that should arrive today. We will keep them in our prayers as they continue to adjust to their new surroundings and routines. I'm sure you feel good that the "big move" is behind you.
