Golden Living

I had the privilege to photograph a Mothers Day brunch at Golden Living a nursing home, that a friend of mine, Linda Blasic is the Activity Director. She asked if I would volunteer my time to set up at backdrop, so the residents could have their picture taken with Family members. She wasn't sure what to expect, since she sent out invites and only received 5 responses. We had an over whelming amount of Families show up. We had to set up a couple extra tables.

Linda did a wonderful job planning the event. She had a 14 year old piano player for the entertainment. He wowed everyone with his talent. He is a volunteer and does the nursing home circuit. Door prizes were handed out, and a lunch of quiche and fruit salad was served.

The residents were very willing and happy to get a picture done of themselves with their loved one. They will receive a complimentary 5 x 7 provided by Golden Living. The Family will have the option to purchase copies. I think all went well and a good time was had by all.

The Residents were so cute. Most of them didn't know where they were supposed to be looking, but the pictures will be cherished by their Families.

This Gentleman was so cute. He kept saying
"CHEESE" over and over.

This little ladies name is Dora. Linda calls her
"Dora the Explorer." She didn't have a Family
member there, but we let her attend anyway.
She showed up in her wheel chair, and said,
"What am I doing down here?" "They got me
up and dressed for some reason."

This is Stephanie and her Son Paul.

"Lucky Stephanie" won four door prizes.

Donna, sat at my table and complained about

everything, including, why there were so many

lines were on her face in her picture? She is 72.

This is Carrie with her Daughters and Grandson.

She rarely stops talking. In all of her pictures,

she looked like this.

What a cute smile!

One of my favorites.

These two little girls volunteer every Saturday

and have won many awards for their services.

Thei is their Mom and Aunt who works at

Golden Living.
