making friends

I popped along to see the oldsters.   My Dad is getting along fine and is making friends. This is him with John (on the left), a very charming gentleman.    I also chatted with two very lovely ladies who have been resident there for several years.  Neither have any close family at all so are grateful that they are in such a decent home.      
Unfortunately StepM is not in good shape and not being very pleasant.    

I can't help feeling sad about all of this but at least my Dad is getting a rest from caring, getting fed well and is able to socialise

Not sure how it is all going to work out in the long run.

I absolutely must sit and write Christmas cards now.     

Sorry for being such a dreadful blip pal.
