Georgina had a good night at the Mansion Friday night. She was once again the Bingo Queen, winning three games. Maria and I stopped at a local thrift shop to buy some clothes, scarves, shoes, and socks for the residents. And Georgina won a bunch of prizes for her Bingo rampage.

She loved her orange scarf. I got her a pair of shoes, a wide sun hat for sitting outside, two pairs of jeans and a soft bunny rabbit to cuddle with at night.

“I am very happy,” she said, “I thank you very much” And I thank the Army Of Good. These are some of the small things that brighten and enrich lives.

I was worried Georgina would be lonely because her friend Bert has gone off for nine days to be with her family. But she’s doing well.  I saw her on the porch yakking up a storm with some of the other residents. I think the Mansion needed someone just like her.

If you wish to send letters to the Mansion residents, I can tell you of three residents who love getting letters: Sylvia, Georgina, Bert. You can send messages to them c/o The Mansion, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

These letters matter.
