This last session was really interesting. We did not have Betty this week, which was a bummer, but we did have a new comer. His name was Charlie and he was fantastic. He really contributed a lot to the story, and he seemed like he was having a really good time. I went and got Beulah again this week, and she did not remember me or the storytelling session, so I was kind of sad but I guess that is going to happen. It was just kind of hard, but I just introduced myself and asked her to join the group, and on the way up I explained it all to her. This week our stories were kind of short, but everyone had a good time. On my way to get Beulah I saw Adelgard in the hallway and I invited her to come join us on the 4th floor for storytelling, and she said “yeah ok, maybe later” which is what she usually says so i thought she probably wasnt going to come, but i was really happy when she did come towards the middle of the session. Not only did she come but she really participated. It was fantastic. We also had Ruth this week, who seemed glad to be there, but was really confused. She observed a lot and every once and a while contributed. We also had June again this week, which was great. She did something really interesting. She had the polar bear with glasses picture from a few weeks ago, and she brought it and also a framed picture of two white fluffy dogs. She had brought it to show us because the polar bear picture had made her think of it. It was interesting to see her make that connection. It made me feel like we were really doing something for her. I will really miss going and spending time with them every week.
