Floating Turtles

Thanks arusuvai.com 

I used foam from take away containers instead of card for base, to make the turtles float. 

Dad's New Project

Dad lives at Elizabeth Knox Rest home. He looks forward for our visits. I usually visit him on Wednesdays since I don't work that day. Chris and I visit him each Sunday after mass. Dad knows my sister-in-law is free on Mondays. He expects us to visit him on theses days but he has had trouble keeping track of days.

Saw this setup in Dad's room today. My brother had already told me about it and also had showed a photo of it. I wondered how he managed to type it.

(This is the last week's diary of Mum. Mum passed away on the 18th of October 2017. She had left this sheet in her drawer neatly folded.)

Dad has used one of those - trimmed it to the right size then stuck cut smiley faces :-) to cover the dates. He has covered the printed side; used last month's calendar to get the Sunday.

The whole setup is stuck to the whiteboard with a magnet. Another magnet with an arrow on it is moved every morning by Dad.
