Lena

Lena has 2 children, a daughter (Angie) and a son (Joe).  Both Joe and Angie live in the general area of the retirement home so they visit her twice a week at which time she requests going to McDonalds for a hamburger, french fries and a ice cream cone which she loves.

She has 4 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren with the latest addition of Anna Grace who just made her debut in February.  Her oldest great grandchild is 19 years old and the others range in age down to this new little blessing.

She is 95 years old and is in reasonably good health for those 95 years.   She has been residing at the retirement home for about 6 years now and receives very good care.  Lena is very spirited. She recently gave up something she didn't want any longer - diabetes. Who would blame her? She uses a cane now, but that is just a fashion accessory

When you are at her dining room during dinner, you get confused at first. Everyone else has their dinner and their dessert, except Lena. It seems that Lena has a sweet tooth and will ALWAYS eat her dessert first, thus - the dessert isn't brought out until later.

But isn't that an old saying, "Life is short, eat dessert first!"

We give Lena a big .
