Here's To the Vets!

Last night, I was doing my weekly volunteering with the Veterans at the Hospital. We were gathered around for a fun night of music and coffee, tea and sweets. Everything happens in an order - Music is played for a while, napkins are handed out, 5 minutes later sandwiches are handed out, then sweets and then tea and coffee.

So were were listening to the music, the napkins were handed out and we're waitin for some grub. I turn around to see how the men behind me are making out and I see George... eating, yes EATING, his napkin. I go over.

"George, are you hungry??"

*George nods*

"What are you doing eating your napkin??"

"Oh I'm just teasing... You'd know it if I were eating it!"

I look down to double check that what I had see was for real... pretty sure the napkin is half gone!

"George, the food is on its way... Stop eating your napkin!"

*George continues to eat napkin*.... ah well!

Another man, Bob, gathered up a few empty styrofoam cups and stacked them up and stuck a dirty napkin in the top. Handed me the cups, saying, "Now, you can sell these, so be careful that nobody else takes them. You should do some research with some other people in the business to find out how much they're worth before you sell them. You wouldn't want someone to rip you off and only pay half of what they're worth."

Then there's Bus, who always has some dirty comments/suggestions to make. Last night, he suggested that we take a bath...

These men are awesome, and I always have a great time and a good laugh when I spend time with them. I encourage you all to spend some time in the seniors homes! Old people aren't all bad!
