She's not going to Florida like she has in the past, she has gone from living in a condo to living in a senior community, and she's still driving!
I'll be observing my one year anniversary at Brooksby at the end of this month and as I have written over this past year, I'm very happy here.
I like my apartment, have met some great people, and enjoy many of the activities and programs that are offered.
There is one thing that I have been thinking about changing.
Brooksby offers a flexible meal plan where you can sign up for either a "20 Meal Plan" or a "Monthly Plan."
In the monthly plan the resident may use the plan for 30 days, or however many days there are in a particular month.
In the 20 meal plan, the resident will have 20 meals,, in any calendar month, to use at his/her discretion.
The opportunity to change plans is offered quarterly.
I'm making the change.
When I first came to Brooksby it was all a learning experience, even going to the dining room.
Dinner is served from 5:00 to 7:00
That was hard to adjust to.
Which dining room to go to, who to sit with, should I have the soup AND the SALAD?
Should I have the PIE and ICE CREAM too?
How can I avoid the Brooksby Bulge?
In addition to all the afore mentioned considerations, I found going to the dining room every night just too much eating.
Being at the dining room at an appointed time was "not for me."
With the Flexible meal plan I can go to the dining room whatever day works for me!
If I'm out shopping and feel like having a bite to eat I can pick up a light meal or if I just feel like staying home and eating at 6:00 or 7:00, I can do that!
Oh and another plus, I won't be eating so much!
One thing does concern me.
I just might want to cook something and certainly won't want to fuss so I'll be looking for some nice and easy recipes.
Any help in this direction would be appreciated!
