Hmm
Well, I did not see that coming. Dennis asked me to download an application form for a VA home last night.
I did some reading first. With an application form on file, the application can be immanent, meaning as soon as possible or kept on file. If a unit becomes available and the veteran is notified and the veteran is still able to live independently, his form is put back into the rotation. That is no different than the housing units here in St. James.
I agreed to print off the forms today and Dennis went up to the Veteran’s Service Officer and got a copy of his discharge from the army. I will go over the form and with Dennis’ help fill it in. Dennis then wants the form to be mailed to the Veteran’s home in Silver Bay. Silver Bay is home for his daughter Sue and Sue’s daughter and her family of five. I don’t have a problem with any of this. If something happens to me expectantly, Dennis will be taken care of. Actually, as Dennis’ wife, I am eligible and can live there as well. After Dennis’ passing in any other of the various VA homes throughout the state, which is eight. Yes, Dennis and I do talk things over and then do as much as we can for the “now.”
Dennis went to have coffee with his friend Lyle that lives in one of the apartments here in town. Lyle doesn’t drive and always welcomes Dennis.
I worked in the studio this morning and finished the log cabin quilt top. After giving it a good pressing, I laid it out on the church table and closed down the studio. Tomorrow it will be measured and labeled and tucked in with the other two tops I have done.
This evening’s supper is a cold salad supper of elbow macaroni, coleslaw, Lena’s way, and potato salad that I have doctored up. Dennis commented he felt the heat more so today than the weekend.
With that I take my leave. ♥
