On Monday, Dec 21, we had the opportunity of assisting Branch member, Danny Laprade and his wife Kathryn and her three grandchildren with Christmas giftgiving at the Woodhaven nursing home in Blue Ridge, located some 17 miles west of Bedford on the Salem/Lynchburg Turnpike (US 460). This was a very nice experience. Kathryn and the grandchildren had made soap dishes and other small homemade items for each of the residents of the nursing home. When we finished visiting with each one and providing them with these little Christmas items we ended up walking through the halls and open living area singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." You could tell these aged residents enjoyed seeing the children, especially.
