A Special Saturday

One of my least favorite things about working at Charis House is the weekend shifts. I work two Saturdays a month for an 8 hour shift. It's long with few tasks to pass the time. But one of the tasks available is to clean--yuck!

But last Saturday was special. One of the residents was celebrating her birthday. Maia, a member of staff made soup and home-made bread for a special birthday lunch for Beryl. Another one of the residents bought soda for all of us as well as desserts. Charmaine and Rosie (2 other residents) made a birthday cake for Beryl. It was so lovely that we could have such a nice celebration in a family-like setting.
