Wednesday August 1, 2012 Anos Dorados



Wednesday August 1/12 update
Catherine and Dwayne were selling their place next door in Okotoks.  Apparently they are going into an Okotoks condo.  I finally found it on MLS at
They are selling for $489,900.   That could be good for us if they sell it for close to that!
Today was the last Spanish class but I had to skip it.   Bella was occupied at Coopera Credit Union at Feria Libre this morning so I took it upon myself to check out a new assisted-living facility in northwest El Centro.  It is called Anos Dorados, (the Golden Years) and the Administrator is a Spanish lady named James Larrea.  I really wanted to check out this place because I had met a lady who lives in the neighbourhood next to ours and whose husband is a resident here.  He has been here for 2 months now and they are very pleased with everything.  Basically you can get rooms, all with private baths, from a single @ $879/mo, up to sharing a large suite @ $1000 each, including the tax.  This includes all meals, laundry, outings, and basic medical supervision.  The only odd room was the exercise room which looked more like a ballet studio with bars along 3 walls and mirrors on the fourth.   For the money, it was quite a neat place.
Near there was a church I don’t recall photographing directly before.  I had seen the spire from different vantage points previously but had never pinpointed the location.  There was a service going on inside.
I decided to walk by the framing shop on the off chance that my gift would be ready, but no, it will be ready tomorrow.
Then I walked by a couple of flower shops to get some prices on wrist flowers and continued on to San Blas.  I stopped in at the cheap eatery and had a hamburger deluxe with ham and a huge slab of cheese, and fries for the princely sum of $1.50.
I have to work on all 3 blogs quickly and try to catch a nap before we head to Joe’s Secret Garden for supper tonight, where I am working for my supper by taking their photos for them.   I'm not bragging but I can see why Joseph loves my photos compared to those he gets from elsewhere which are all fuzzy and dark.
That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
