I love that you took the time to take pictures of all of the residents, they are such sweet people! The caregivers too! Gram looks so cute all made up with her tea party hat in her pajamas :) I am so glad she had a good time! -Kris
What a special treat to see these photos of Aunt Betty doing things one would never suspect she'd enjoy---make-up, hats, crowds of people, a tea party. So happy that she chooses to participate and has so many friends. I recognized so many of them and have little special memories just from my infrequent visits there. If I ever have to have that special kind of care, I want to be in a home like Harmony House! Thanks so much for doing this Becky---and I love the photo of you and Aunt Betty in your hats!
