ELECTRICA Elise..

Mom is settled in pretty good at Grand Pearle...Cruise Ship/Assisted Living...I have new heroes in my life now...Alicia, Valerie, Amber, Ashley, and David....they work At Grand Pearle as CareGivers for Mom...what a grand staff...so understanding and kind and they have a sense of humor...I like that the best..
This is going to be a new chapter for us...I think it will be a happy one because Mom tries so very hard to be in good spirits all the time...
Today was her birthday. I have declared that everyday will be her birthday...for her a big party is a funny hat and chocolate. How hard will that be? I also have determined that she is a super hero.....she is now.....
ELECTRICA ELISE ! Determined to spread joy everywhere she goes and leave smiles on everyone's face when she leaves....
This is her first cartoon!

Ella's First Essay...and certainly not her last

Ella will be writing an essay for a special project this week. The content...what would it be like if Martin Luther King,Jr. Had not presented his "I Have A Dream Speech"
After reading the speech I ask for her summary. She is pretty much Spot On in understanding what the words meant...Her translation....if everyone could just leave the past, join hands and move forward...not carrying judgements along with them...
After she was through sharing all of this info with me, I was basking in the pleasure of knowing how smart, how sensitive and how enlightened this little young girl was...
Then her Mom shared with me...before you go on basking in how smart your granddaughter is and how she got all this from you...just know that as late as just last year, every night before she went to bed she thanked Jesus for Martin Luther King,Jr. because he made it possible for her (a white girl) to be able to speak to Big Daddy (a black man)
