Roberta (Bobbi)'s Story
Texas has been home for the last 36 years. In 1996 I finally decided what I wanted to be when I grew up and suddenly found myself volunteering with an Adult Day Care as an Enrichment Coordinator. After a year of 40 hour weeks, I moved to a nursing home, then to Alzheimer's care, then to Assisted Living and finally to an Independent Living near my home. My husband Joe and I, both retired now, still go back and sing with some of those places. Our kids, Dan, Karen and Jennie are all in the immediate area, as well as our five grandchildren. We started cruising with Karen and her husband in the fall of 2006 and fell under the spell of the ocean, sand and stars. We are leaving on our 8th this year in early November. There is something about the water, the total darkness, the stars, and in the daytime the deck chairs and a good book. Not to mention the good food, music.
I haven't been back to Pittsburgh since 1994 ...Expand for more
when my dad died, and I sure miss it sometimes. I do not forsee ever moving back, but sure do miss the seasonal changes. We made some changes in our "new house." Built in 1964, it reminds me very much of home, lots of trees, but everything was original, and now most of it is gone. If you're ever down this way, stop by and see me. The kitchen finally got done, so if you're ever in the neighborhood, stop by and I'll fix you a bite to eat.
Joe and I are both retired now. Grandkids, and cruising are part of what make life so good right now. I have been working with International Friends, a group that ministers to people from all over the world thru crafts, cooking, fellowship and English classes for about 15 years. Singing with the Master's Singers senior choir has been one of my joys. Also, singing with one of my former residents brings a lot of satisfaction. All in all, this time of life has become an unexpected joy.
