It's been a long time!

Hi everyone; 1 - 5- 2019

  It's been a long time sines I have added anything to Out Blog. So will try to do an up grade.

  As many already know we are living in Ankeny Iowa now, At Mill Pond Retirement Community. We have been here for 4 years and 8 months up to now. It has been a good move for the most part, But just like all things in life things change. Some of the reasons we moved here no longer available. Like emergency care on site, No more. They just call 911 and let them take care of it.

  There has been a lot of other changes also. When we move here there was 53 Independent Living Now 117 Total. There was 28 Assisted living now 42. There was 26 Bed Skilled Care now 56 Bed Skilled Care. Before there was no Memory Care now 18 Armor Memory Care Apartments. So it has almost doubled in size. Along with doubling in size means other changes also. New is a theater, Town Center, Club Room, ID Dinning room. AS Dinning room, and Memory Care Dinning room also.

  All has been done in good taste looks wise, Maybe not use wise. In my site more for looks than practical. ( I'm old school though )

 This is one picture I took during construction 64 units in that building.

 Three story AS Living top two stories MC First floor. With also under ground garage.

 Main Entry along with Offices and Town Center, Chapel and Auditorium.

       New 64 Apartment Completed Building along with under ground garage. 

 We live in the old apartment building to the west of the four story building you see here.

Our Family Has Grown A Lot!

  We now have two Great, Great Grandchildren, Ella born 4th of July 2017 and Her Bother Sea Bass Born 22 sec of July 2018. Our Great Grandson Jacob Figgins and His Wife Shelby are the parents. I am so humbled by this and so blessed, Never in my wildest dream did I ever think this would happen. ( I Love It )

  I'm going to close for now and add more later.
