........................

At first when I was reading this goal at the beginning of the year, I did not understand why; why these two groups? So I set out to discover why, and I guess I want to tell you what I discovered..

With people over the age of 70, they have so much wisdom to share or childhood memories. It's amazing what some of them have accomplished, and even they may appear fragile, their hearts are strong and they are willing to try new things. I needed learn to listen to them, to be accepting, and to never show partiality to the elderly neither despise them. Strangely, I never thought they would enjoy these little outings or things that we usually do, even taking the bus or train is an adventure to them!

It's what a little child would want to, I think, because the world around them is much bigger than they are that to be able to be shown outside of home is an adventure.

down south

..warm up by the fire..
..am I a rose?..

..mummies are the best..

..steamboat by the sunset..

..come and look afar..

..hahs..

..row row row your boat gently down the stream.. ..sisterly love, absorbing the sunset..

..while we were rowing our boats, we captured this scene..

..what is everybody holding?..

..lollipops, they say it makes us children..

..pictures behind the pink flowers..

Some things are just meant to be seen and impossible to capture. I could describe to you that the night that we stayed there was a warm heartful night. Playing games together, rowing boats, strolling through the forest and stargazing. Its only once in so long, but a worthwhile trip that makes you so know who is there for you and what family means. I only wish I could show you..
