I serve of the Board Iowa Eastern Star Masonic Home in Boone. We meet once a month and yesterday was that meeting day. I am on the second year of a five year term on the Board and enjoy working with this group. Everyone on the Board is dedicated to making this the best Home in the state and from everything we hear it is. It has none of the "nursing home" smell or feel. Everything is modern and up to date and the Administrator and staff do an excellent job in making this a wonderful place for fols to live.
We eat there after the meeting and I have never had a bad meal. Always tasty, well prepared and presented and the only complaint I have is the water tastes "funny," but then I am used to Ames water. (I don't drink the water in Des Moines, either.)
My grandmother's sister (Aunt Ethyl) lived there the last several years of her life and she was happy with being there. I don't think she would recognize it today as it has grown and many changes have been made. We are just finishing a project of making small "apartment-like" two room suites (no kitchen) on one floor of the annex. They are beautiful spots and I think I would enjoy living in one of them.
Ginny is in town. She and Bruce came up yesterday and are staying out at the Super 8 Motel. We ate at Buford's last night and it was good to see her. She looks good and I enjoyed Bruce. I had not been around him much but I can see why she likes him. Very pleasant with a good sense of humor. I am glad she has him and I think he is glad he has her. They will be around until Sunday so I will see them again but they have a full schedule of things they want to do while they are here. Nice rainy day. We needed the water. Hugs, Be Happy and Loved.
