CONTINUING  LOOKING BACK Santa visited The Gables.  He made a special visit to Wendell in his room after greeting those in the main room.  Jannie, the Director of The Gables took this picture and sent it to me on my cell phone. It is precious to me. Family Group picture for 2018 taken by Matt. Pierce with his Drone. When Wendell could go visiting we went to see Mark and his family at their place.  Wendell was able to enjoy those kind of outings and you can see he was happy here.

She laughed and said that Mark was taking pictures of me on “Polo” as he gave it to me to open. Then explained that instead of ma...
