Just Me

by resident: Lou Mohler

As I've grown older, my ears now ring.

My high soprano voice, no longer wants to sing.

My ring finger on my right hand is deformed,

My big toe sticks up like a piece of corn!

But my eyes can see! I can read it all!

Magazines, books, newspapers - so I have a ball!

I'm presently living in a home for old folks.

Some are lots of fun with smiles and jokes.

I'm thankful to be with those of my age,

Regardless of any deformities at this stage.

We can laugh and enjoy a life full of fun.

Plus, I'm lucky to be in the California sun!

 San Carlos Elms was excited and honored to be apart of the Peninsula Multifaith Coalition again this year.  We were worried how it was going to all pan out, but thanks to a fantastic group of leaders and volunteers it was a huge success!!! We started the morning with an opening ceremony on Zoom celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, featuring guest speakers Rep Jackie Speier , Senator Josh Becker ,and Rev Lorrie Owens  President of San Mateo NAACP . Once we all had our history lesson and the power of community through the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. it was time to get to work.  Cards were created for all of our residents and magazines were donated too. Volunteers created and donated beautiful bouquets of flowers.   They are out spreading cheer for both our Residents and Staff. Thank you Peninsula Multifaith Coalition , we hope we can meet in person next year, but what a wonderful job you all did!!!
