Wii at Hawthorne Court

Every Sunday we go to Hawthorne Court Retirement Home to visit a man who used to be our neighbor when we lived on Reed Street. He moved out of his home 2 years ago when his wife passed away and since he has no children of his own we have kind of "adopted" him as a grandpa.

We had such a good time yesterday! On Sunday afternoons they have the residents play Wii in the lobby on the big screen TV. We never got to be there for Wii hour before due to our previous church schedule, but our new 9:00 time allows us to make our visits in the early afternoon.

The Wii is really a brilliant video game system and is the perfect way for elderly people to get a little exercise. They were having a BLAST! We convinced our friend, Les, to go down and give it a try. It took him a few turns to get used to the controller, but after a little practice he ended up getting a strike on the bowling game!
