Moving Day to Sunrise!!

It has been a long time coming, but today was moving day

for Mom. We got started later than expected but Dustin

got off early and arrived straight from work and he and

Mike loaded the trailer with all Mom's stuff....

well that and two car loads!

She told me on the way up that she was a little nervous,

but looking forward to the move too.

When we arrived, there was a cute plant and

a card to Billie saying "Welcome to your new home!"

Very Sweet!

Dustin and Mike did all the heavy moving

and got Granny situated in her chair as quickly as

possible. She watched the procedure from there.

Everyone was welcoming her left and right.

She took a break from supervising to go down to the

dining room for dinner. Even the Chef came out and

said, "You must be Billie. Welcome to Sunrise!"

It really is a lovely place.

Kennan had her MIL watch Jude and Greta and she

came by to help organize....I failed to document

her assisting (sorry K-dig).

Brookie brought the girls to see Granny and helped with the

decorating. Truly Dustin is the hero because he stayed

through it all and made sure Granny was perfectly

situated with flat screen up and running.

Love that red-headed boy!!!

Here are some shots of the apartment.

The bed and new canvas picture ....

The entry area....

The shower....

The other side of the bathroom....

The kitchen area and desk/table with flat screen....

mind you they fix her three meals a day so this is just for

snacks, etc.

Her chair which looks out the large window at a great

view of the mountains and has a perfect view of the

new flat screen....

Cute Mom with the bureau full of albums and

blankets....

Looking from the window towards the entry...
bathroom is on right of hall.

Her closet with chest of drawers inside....

And cute Billie wearing her "life alert" and happy

to have her own space again. She is anxious to get

to know some new people and get involved in the

activities. I admire her so much. She is really very

brave and chooses to make the best of her situation.

I feel so relieved knowing that she is in a safe place

where she can interact with her peers and still have

some independence. After 15 weeks, it is going to be

weird not to have her around the house, but I know she

will be happier. Of course she would rather be at her home

in Phoenix, but she knows the time has passed for her to

live on her own and the option she has chosen is a great one!

I wouldn't mind living down the hall from her.

So here's to Billie and Nathan who are both embarking

on a new adventure. You are both wonderful!

Hope you enjoy the post, Sisters.

Love and Miss You!!!
