Aspen Meadows

On the afternoon of December 4, I visited the Aspen Meadows retirement community and sang a few songs and Christmas carols. Again, the connections in a hometown are endless and one of the residents could name my great uncle who had lived in Rapelje, "Lester Hageman, yeah he had Hereford cows. I remember that."
Whenever I visit homes like these, I just wish that people who have friends or relatives living there would take the time to visit them because contact outside their small community is so valuable. A staff member was discussing with me the importance of bringing people in for music or entertainment, and how difficult it has become nowadays.
