Barbara, Tell me more about your visiting seniors and the shoebox. I go into senior facilities every week to do a musical program. Your are right in that there are seniors who have no one to visit them. Also, there are seniors whose memory is good and some that aren't. I guess my question is how do you do this? I have thought about something similiar but didn't know how to put it together.
