Senior Humor
Sons
Three older ladies are sitting around a table playing bridge and bragging about their sons.
"My Freddie," said Margaret, "Everyone should be so lucky to have a son like my Freddie. Once a week he brings me a huge bouquet of flowers, he's constantly bringing me out to restaurants to eat, if I so much as hint that I want something the next morning it's on my doorstep."
"That's very nice about your Freddie," says Gertrude. "But with all due respect, when I think about the way my Sammy takes care of me, it just can't compare. Every morning as soon as I wake up, he greets me with bacon and freshly brewed coffee. Every day at lunchtime, he comes over and cooks me a gourmet lunch, and every evening he brings me to his house for supper. He truly treats me like a queen."
"WELL!" says Barbara, "I don't want to make any of you feel bad or anything, but wait until you hear about my Harry. Twice a week he pays someone $200 an hour just so he can lie on their couch and talk to them, and who do you think he speaks about at those prices?," asks Barbara with a big excited double chin smile. "I'll tell you who he speaks about! ALL HE SPEAKS ABOUT IS ME!"

Joel J., a loyal Angel since 2014, has been doing an excellent job on a very unique and challenging assignment recently. He continually represents Visiting Angels very well with his professionalism and positive attitude!
Josephine B. is a newer Angel who has been with one of our clients since his first day of service in February. Josephine demonstrates calming patience with difficult situations. The family has recognized this and has remarked, "Josephine has the patience of a saint!" The family really appreciates Josephine and her help with their father.
Thank you, Joel and Josephine! We appreciate your hard work and diligent care of our clients.
