I am trying to re-write this from memory because Blogger won't let me get to the post I wrote that was missing the graphic and link to Blue Panther. Thank God for Image Shack which hosts my photos today since Blogger isn't working. . .
As I walked out of the elevator Saturday just after lunchtime, a young girl approached me and asked me, "Why didn't you come to BINGO last night?"
At that moment, I realized yesterday was Friday and I had missed it. I guess I had gotten busy in my apartment and forgotten to go. You see, we have BINGO on Friday nights in our community room in this apartment complex. This young girl was visiting her grandmother, who is a new resident. I had made friends with them when they were moving grandma in one day recently. The following day, the granddaughter saw me in the community room with a small group playing a table game and stopped by to say hello.
A few days ago, this Grandma had told me her granddaughter was coming to visit for the weekend again and I talked her into bringing the granddaughter to BINGO. Then I forgot to go!

Youngsters are a real blessing when they show a caring attitude as this young girl did. This bronze statue in the park shows a young girl handing a grandfatherly looking gentlemen some flowers. It reminds me of the child who missed me and who is my blessing this week.
