First Trip Home

Here's Mom and Dad in the Plaza Beauty Salon. It is not the Plaza Beauty School. Mom's back-up beautician, Helen, is peeking from the back. Helen does Mom's hair on the days Yvonne is out of the shop. Helen did today's hair. Kudos!

Here's Mom with her loyal friend, and excellent nurse: Janice Romo Storey. They are posing in front of Mom's new Yukon, which is, seemingly impossibly, a bright midnight blue. It is beautiful - especially in the sunlight. It glimmers.

Janice spoils Mom by bringing her numerous gifts - some of which I play with, like a how-to calligraphy set. Janice has been at WNH for 27 years. Janice was my grandmother's nurse, and was with her on the night she(Ruth Post) died, in 1980. Janice and her husband, Ray, sent these pictures for the Nancy Update. Gracias.

It was wonderful to have Mom back in her own home. Before her hair appt, she hung out with Blake and Abby Boatright. She also studied pictures, and heard stories, from Doug Melton, about the latest dramatic production at WNH. It sounds like a two thumbs up, PG rated type of show(edging towards an R rating?!).

After Mom's hair appt, she took a two-hour nap in her own bed. It seemed like such a luxury.
