So here I am again, slowly getting the knack of doing this when I found out my other blog Memories can be continued, but decided to keep on with this one for the time being.

Life continues, wake up and say, well hello world I'm still here.  Though speaking of here, here is an apartment in a Seniors Residence...well some of us are not so lucky, of course they have gone to apparently a better place, they say (i.e. heaven)..but some of us are not doing too well in this residence.  Apparently the owners have decided to move people to the other Floralies, rather than letting them stay in this one, the other is in LaSalle, this one is in Lachine...the owners are now moving people from the fifth floor in Tower A. to Lasalle to make the floor special for nursing care, making smaller apts. and rooms...letting the residents know only days before they have to move, In fact one man found out Friday, and was moved out Sunday.

Well they better not count on my friend Letty, who is or was the first woman minister in Canada for the Anglican Church..She was moved to the 5th from the 4th floor last year..and this year here she has to move from the 5th here in Lachine to LaSalle, well, she does not want to go.   Life has been misery, she is partially blind, and has just taken lessons from MAB in how to walk in the neighbourhood, not to mention that she has a friend who can pick her up for church, and many other benefits living in Lachine, mainly The TeaPot..which takes her shopping, gives her odd volunteer jobs which she loves.. 

The powers that be here at the Floralies, did not inform her only by chance her social worker, heard from another source in the building and asked her did she know the 5th floor residents were being moved.  Well Lettie although being shocked went in action, called McGill Law for Aging, and the Gazette, etc. Although she is not happy with what's happening she is doing something and still told the director.  The Director will have her taken to the residence in LaSalle to see that it is as good if not better than her own place..  Then in the afternoon tomorrow she will check out another residence here in Lachine..The Belvedere.  So stay tuned for the next episode of This side of Eighty Five to find out the trials and tribulations of my dear friend Lettie.
