Bingo!

Ok so at work we volunteer once a month to go play bingo. Since I work in Har-Ber Meadows we play at The Maples nursing home and Culpepper assisted living. The older people love it! They always tell me it is the best time of the day. We go the second Tuesday of every month. We just rotate places each time. Well we went 2 weeks ago but they forgot to give us the bingo cards. They had been locked up in the closet were we could not get them. We waited in a room with the older people for over a hour waiting on these cards. Needless to say we did not get to play that night. So to make it up we are playing tonight! You should have seen the looks on their faces when we told them we could not play. When we go we bring them soft drinks and snacks. They love that because they are getting things they never get. It is the funnest thing when they do not when their bingo game. Sometimes they have yelled because they were only 1 number off. When they win they get to choose from differant prizes. I love going and playing because it just makes me feel like I am helping out in the community. It just makes you feel something way deep down inside. Well got to go. Its time to go play!

My grandmother lives in a nursing home back home and she LOVES quarter bingo! She is always giving Rylee sacks of quarters (aka. her loot). I guess that's part of aging. Loss of hair, loss of eye sight, new found love of Bingo!! I think it's awesome that you all go out there and spend time with them! It really is the highlight of their weeks.
