The Grandpas and I
I would like to take this time to say Thank you for being so Generous with us!! When I lost my Husband Murray 2 months ago I wasn't sure I could
go on, but these Men helped me through my Pain and Heartache! They gave me unconditional Love, Support, and Most of All a reason to wake up each
day!! They are the most important part of my Life now, and I will do whatever it takes to help them Live out their Lives with Love, Respect and
Dignity!! So to each one of my Grandpas and their Caregivers, I say...You are Forever in my Heart!!! And to All of you who have given from the
Heart to us I say...We are Eternally Grateful for all you do!! God Bless, Penny and the Grandpas

And here is a picture Juan took of nomad Nappo and his buddies who very recently put that great smile back on Penny's face with their visit and
wonderful donations.
Always a work in progress and while Penny is thankful she has the grandpas in her life, they likewise are thankful for the day she and Murray showed
up at their font door.

Penny,
The blessings go many ways: to you, the grandpas and to all who help in which/what ever why they can.
Stay strong

Penny, I am so glad you are surrounded by loving grandpas! You are reaping what you have sown. My respects to Nappo and his gang...they have always
been at the top of the A list for guests as they always give more than they take from Baja and it's people.

Penny, after visiting and dropping off donations and then a great fishing trip to BOLA with 7 UCSB amigos, must tell you that all of us were more
impressed and touched by what you do for the grandpas than the fish we caught! You are an amazing woman, and we will be back! Hope others will take
the 4-5 minute detour to drop off any donation. Think they don't need it - wrong - they need it. Anyone going south just needs to do this!!! Ok,
sorry about the lecture, but, please consider stopping by and helping this wonderful effort spearheaded by Penny!

IMHO, one thing that is so impressive is that this is not a care facility, not like a USA convalescent hospital, this is a HOME full of genuine love
and care. I think all of us would be so fortunate to experience this in our declining years. Here are a few pictures of what has been happening.
The before, the work, and the beautiful new outside --- Nappo and group really helped this happen.
And inside ---Isais working with a smile.
And a volunteer group showed up and gave all of Penny's grandpas hair cuts and pedicures that are so important in the care of the elderly. So the
house and the grandpas were all spiffed up.
Penny had been responsible for getting so many involved, and now her bilingual neighbor, Maria, is teaching Juan English and Penny says Isais is also
learning and they are both very happy to be learning.
While the grandpas have been a real lifeline for Penny during this very difficult time, Penny is their guardian angel.
It just makes me smile to see the nomads who have participated, and will continue to participate. And on a very personal level, I am still
overwhelmed by the response I received when we put out the call for the help that Penny needed during her personal crisis.
I think that everyone needs a real genuine hug now and again, so if you are going to visit, e -mail Penny to be sure she will be there. She is full
of hugs. :-) freelandib222@live.com
