We awarded Jean the “Best Smile At Bingo Night” at the Mansion tonight, Friday is the night Maria and I call the Bingo Games. Lots of winners. I brought some new prizes – stuffed animals, large print novels, some crossword puzzles (Madeline loves crossword puzzles and word games).

When I first came to the Mansion, I would often find Jean vacuuming the floors and hallways, even though the staff had just vacuumed them. She told me she loves to do housework, and has loved it all of her life.

After Bingo – she won two games – she stopped to make sure all of the chairs were pushed forward and in their right place. Jean has a very warm and radiant smile.
