Joe Master may be dying.

Today we went to see Joe Master again.
He was at the dining room this morning rather than in his room.
I read two articles from the newspaper this morning to him. He seems to like me reading to him.
We talked about a western movie I saw this week, called Angel and the Badman. Joe did not seem to know about it.
I also heard last week that Joe was on hospice. I almost cried when I heard about it.

It is a wonderful oppurtunity to be able to spesk with Joe every week.




Question of the day: If you did any work with the seniors, what were there names?

Seniors home Part 2

Today we went to the Senior's home to see Joe Master. I was originally nervous about seeing Joe. I got to the Senior's home and took a few deep breaths before asking for Ali, the activites director. When she came up, she took us to her office so I could sign in. After that we went to Joe's room. I was really nervous to knock on the door because he was asleep, so Grandma did it for me. We said "hello" and sat down.

I started a conversation by asking if he had always lived in Oregon. He used to live in Ohio, like me! He told us about some pictures that are hanging on his walls. One of hem is a sketch of him and his wife.

He continuously told us he was trying to put our faces together. (so, so sad:*() I really just wanted to pick him up and cuddle him.

He introduced me to a new movie genre, Western, as an added benefit I get to watch one.

He apparently likes football as well.

All over all, it was really great!

Question of the day: Did you ever do any volunteering at the Senior's home?

Seniors home

Today we went to the seniors home, and met a very nice man named *John Master. He seemed to think about everything before he said it. I quite like him. I get to spend every Friday morning with him. I am very excited. I am also practicing Danish for the big trip to Denmark next summer!


Question of the day: What community service project did you do when you were in sixth grade?
