veteran home

So I spilled the beans about my plans to start working

In a Senior Group Home! Yay! (link)

The second half of the beans — is this...

In 2 to 5 years, I could possibly -

Might hopefully - have learned and saved enough

to open my own Residential Care Home - 

Just for Veterans! 

Since I myself am a Veteran.

I am visualizing a little place on some acreage - 

Maybe a garden, maybe some chickens...

Top Notch Nursing Care with organic home cooked meals!

Meals on Real Plates - not plastic school lunch plates.

You know, the ones with the little dividers.

If a Veteran were looking for a place to live -

For a week, a year, or for a longer time...

Might he or she choose a smaller place -

Rather than a large (sometimes crowded) Nursing Home?

Please note - I am not saying all Nursing Homes are bad.

Some are quite good! But if you ain't got the $,

Sometimes, the situation is less than ideal.

I dunno.... on one hand, we have call lights going off,

Industrial Warehousing of Souls, and Bedlam. 

Did you ever know the origins of that word?

"Bedlam" came from St Mary of Bethlehem in London

Which served as a "lunatic asylum."

Today is means a state of wild confusion, or a madhouse.

On the other hand, in a Residential Group Home,

you have a small staff that is (hopefully) not overworked,

And hamburgers on the grill - maybe a beer (if the Doc says ok)...

Big screen TV with the game on, in a Man Cave for anyone 

who likes that sort of thing.. Maybe a walk outside by a little pond...

Who knows - maybe even in time a place for Cows

And Grass-Fed Beef! 

Maybe a goat or two.

So now all the beans are out of the bag!

THAT 2 step plan is what has occupied all my attention

Since late summer...the very idea that

One day I could have something like this!

Now - to work hard on the details....

AND the working of the plan!

We'll see how it all works out!

Oh - by the way - all the pics are from the internet...

Except the windmill... I took that one!
