Morling Lodge

So yesterday I actually spent time doing volunteer service. Not that I mind sleeping in, hanging out at my house, reading, going for beautiful, leisurely walks in the cool spring afternoons. No I did not mind that at all, but I'm excited to start doing something else. So I got up early and went to Morling Lodge, a lovely little Baptist Retirement Home. Unfortunately it takes about 40 minutes to walk to Morling Lodge, uphill. And having spent the last two weeks relaxing and laying around it was a very long 40 minutes. But that's besides the point. I'm starting out working with the activities. We played Bocca, which is like Boules, for the first hour. All the residents there were really sweet and friendly. Then we did some stretching and played a game of beanbag toss. Not a bad day.
Then I had to walk home. It was much better than the walk there because it was downhill and I could go pretty slow. But it was much warmer this afternoon than in the morning. Overall the weather has been so much better. Spring is finally here and I might have to shave my legs so I can start wearing shorts. Anyway, I'll be going to Morling Lodge every Thursday morning to help with activities and visit with the residents. That is all for now.
