First, I know what you mean about two people in one room. We've had several family members go through this same thing;( <br /><br />I remember valentines day at school...yes it was so exciting...maybe that is where I got the love of cards! And I remember sports...our little school never won (except once!) we were known as the best losers ever! (That was a compliment...!) You are right to be proud of your grandson...bless him!<br /><br />Nothing special for V. Day here..I did buy a beautiful Carmel Apple that the Humane Society makes as a fund raiser! It was yummy! I didn't eat a lot of it, but Tom didn't mind eating my other half! Lol<br /><br />Blessings to your day!<br />GertGerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155756653275943469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808466973944614765.post-2263257324292249262014-02-15T20:20:26.126-08:002014-02-15T20:20:26.126-08:00Shirley dear,

We were so shocked and surprised! he had fun and that was what mattered. He always congratulated the boys that won, even when he didn't win. WE were so shocked when he won, we laughed and laughed! He is a very talented kid and did well in school, still does well in college, but learned that it is Nice to be important, but it is more IMPORTANT to be Nice, Win or Lose, it's how you play the game, NICELY!<br /><br />And, my dear girl, YOU are the winner of my Grow Your Blog Giveaway for followers who have been with me for a longer amount of time! There is a picture of what is in the kit on my blog. I do want you to know that I also want to give you the option of me making you a tag with some of those items, if you would prefer. <br />Please let me know what your physical address is, and if you would like me to make you a tag.

Hope that you get something done about his room situation. You are great sticking up for him like you do! So many won't say anything and just accept what they are handed out.<br /><br />We don't do much for Valentine's except maybe go out to eat. Hope you have a nice day!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808466973944614765.post-75283968654201645212014-02-13T05:37:27.178-08:002014-02-13T05:37:27.178-08:00Glad your husband is making progress, Shirley.

I've often been the "squeaky wheel" and I don't enjoy it one bit, but when it gets results it feels worthwhile. And now with the room situation, sounds like it's still up to you to speak up yet again. Good thing you're there!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808466973944614765.post-71455799141976317192014-02-13T04:43:07.873-08:002014-02-13T04:43:07.873-08:00A little this and that is always good to get out o...A little this and that is always good to get out of our systems.

They are the way they are because they have been raised to treat others with dignity and respect...that starts from you right on down to their parents. Good job, Shirley.<br /><br />I hope you can get the problem resolved about your hubby's room. That is just ridiculous to expect him to move! I am glad he is making some progress in walking. He will feel a whole lot better about life in general if he is more mobile.<br /><br />I loved Valentine's Day, too, when I was a kid. One year we made all our Valentines...but it was a small small class. I think I only had 10 kids in my grade. <br /><br />My granddaughters are still allowed to take home made treats to their school but that is rare today. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808466973944614765.post-17219403558082412272014-02-12T19:17:56.888-08:002014-02-12T19:17:56.888-08:00HI Shirley,

Just keep trying that's all we can do, I use to do the same when my mother was in a home. We just cannot stop.

Now the valentines have to do something or include a toy or something to eat.<br />Good for your grandson. So true about how parents need to let them learn that being first isn't always the most important thing.<br />I don't understand why hubby's roommate or the staff are crowding him like that. You have to pay so much to be there he should have all the space he is entitled to for sure. I am so proud of him for trying so hard to walk.<br />(((((HUGS))))) Stay safe in this weather.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808466973944614765.post-59435183441187620112014-02-12T13:55:58.392-08:002014-02-12T13:55:58.392-08:00You are so good to stand up for your husband like ...You are so good to stand up for your husband like that. Stick with it. Do not be bullied by the staff at that place. Your husband deserves the best. When he gets it the other residents learn and so does the staff. The result is an improvement for everyone. And it just starts with you.
