Bridgman Family Update

Dear Brothers, Sisters, and Families,

I am posting this note to let you know about a few family dates upcoming in March and April.

Friday night is family night at Josephine. We thought we could all join Mom and Dad, Friday, March 20th, for dinner to celebrate Dad’s 88th birthday. We will gather at 5:45 p.m. in the cafeteria. You will need to call the Josephine Home at 360-629-2126 to let them know how many from your family will be attending.
Sunday Morning, March 22nd, 10:00 a.m. join in the family work party at Sullivan Road. Wear your “grubs”, bring your gloves, tools, wit, and sense of humor. J Come prepared for barn work, house work, yard work, and bonfire. Hopefully we can “clear the way” for the possibility of the “parentals” returning home, with full time care, for the summer months. Yes, I know it sounds like a lot of work, but we seem to know how to make “work party” more party than work, right? Lunch will be provided.

Easter Agenda
Sunday, April 12th
Smiths’ One Heron Pond
1:00 Dinner
2:00 Hunt
3:00 Walk
4:00 Dessert

Finally, the Easter Sunday Gathering will be observed at the Smiths, Sunday, April 12th. Bring your usual, or call for ideas. “Mystery guests welcome as in the past. “Elmer Fudd along with the Easter Bunny will be in attendance this year, right Bob and Alan?


As you well know, the past few months have brought many difficult decisions and situations regarding our parents. Our sister, Melinda, has done an amazing job at the lead!

Through it all, I really realize that we all have so very much for which to be grateful and thankful. For me, above all else, it is you, my family.
With much love and appreciation,

Candy

Sunny Day Drive

Sorry for no photo but it was a beeeeuuuutiful day in Stanwood and Gramps and Granny went for a sunny day drive to Camano Island with tour guide Tindy. They toured the Utsalady boat launch beach, a site where Gramps and Granny last dug clams together a couple of years ago, gazed at the big pile of snow, aka Mount Baker to the north, got some ice cream sandwiches at the Maple Grove grocery and then traveled on to Sunset Drive for an estate sale. Nothing good there. After that they traveled to the Wade beach place for a look around and a gander at the Olympic range jutting out of the water bright and bold on this clear day. Amazing how ther clear air and skies can brighten your spirits!! On to one more HUGE sale that turned out to be a FIZZLE and then back to Josephine Sunset Home just in time for social hour and entertainment and "guess what" ICE CREAM! Granny rushed in to get hers. Won't eat her mashed potatoes and gravy but she'll break your arm for her ice cream!! GO GRANNY!

Gramps has a swollen area around his surgery incision that is slowly reducing in size. His doctors and nurses are keeping a close eye on it. He is walking all over the place and is not using his wheel chair now, Yeah! Granny is continuing her physical therapy and says she'll quit slacking! Hope so.

Gorgeous picture of Abigail came in the mail today. What a beauty. All in all, a great day.
