So many things to do that they might not have been able to do otherwise. The staff was super nice and the food was delicious.<br />Might I ask what fabric was it that had the scuba diver and fish on it? It is so very cute and I love the colors.

It's tough, but it's for his good, and yours too. Time will heal all wounds, is that the saying?

I have one of those knee lifts,but haven't tried it yet. Maybe I do;)<br /><br />Hope everything goes smoothly with your dad and he's accepting of the move. I am thinking a group home would be a good fit for him and give him some good friends.
