he REALLy wanted a picture taken
a little family picture haha....no thats not dustins normal smile
i dont know the see no evil hear no evils behind us
sharing our life, one story at a time!
Julia....i loved julia, she was my very very favorite, she was so lively and happy all the time, and wanted so bad just for all of us to see her as a friend and not someone we took care of. She thought i was a "dizzy blonde" so every day when i would go in to help her get ready for the day she would teach me a new word...Cause she said she knows how it is to be a dizzy blonde haha...We were going to take her to the movies cause she always wanted to see the latest things out, but the day we were going to take her, she got sick. She kept asking us to take her as soon as she could get the strength up to walk again, but she never did. Julia passed away just a few weeks later, very unexpected, she just became weak, and soon died, all her kids were there for the last two days, they camped out on matteresses and couches in her room till she went, thats what she wanted...She will be truely misssed.
this is Ken, and my puppy willy, willy loved coming and visiting on the holidays, i think this was either christmas or thanksgiving
This is Dorothy, on Christmas, all of the workers got to get as many residents as they wanted gifts, and i chose her and one other lady, the other lady passed away just a few days before christmas so i didnt get the chance to give her hers, but dorothy LOVED hers, thats right, i bought her a stylin hot pink velour outfit... Despite that lovely face she is making, she really loved it!
this is Imo, our movie buddy, Me and my friend/co worker Sam would take her to the movies all the time, she loved it....she is one funny lady!
here are just a few pics i took over the time i worked there, of my lovely cute little residents (this isnt all of them, just a few, i wish i got them all. But i love every one of these ol folks as if they were my own grandparents! they are the sweetest people in the world!
Ahh Phyllis... She loves attention, so when she fell the other day, we were not suprised to see that she was infact excited about the BEAUTIFUL black eyes and goose egg, because she was getting so much attention for it she could hardly handle it, she thinks it looks like she is wearing a butterfly mask....and yes, she is completly there in the head. haha oh Phyllis 
Elverda is probably one of my favorites, and i was one of hers, her family doesnt care much to buy her anything but her rent, which comes from her own pocket anyways, and they use her demencia to their advantage, everything you see in this picture, including her clothes is all donated from us at work. But on a happier note...Elverda will always give you the most interesting and hilarious stories ever....Like for instance, she thinks Bill Clinton is after her because she is the one and only woman in the ENTIRE world who refuses to sleep with him, making him want her even more! haha
oh Charlie...Poor Charlie had a bad bad case of lost it, and his wife, who didnt live there, needed to....no charlie didnt die, he ran away too many times, and tried to "have his way" with a few ladies too many times. His wife didnt like that she found some underwear he stole from one lady's room, in his drawer...Ha Ha...now THAT was a fun day
Last but not least, our little farm boy, Glen. Thats right his shirt does say pull up a seat and grab a teat...every single one of his shirts said something like that, my favorite was one with a huge fish on the back and it said "quit staring at my bass" haha....and that basically sums up his personality...he was the hardest one to see cry when i left, cause he is such a tough guy...ya that was hard.
