Today during the poker game at the Birch Street Nursing Home, the patients were talking about what a wonderful time they had at the Birch Street Cemetery on the 4th of July. Mrs. Henley asked me when the next holiday was. I told her the next big holiday is Halloween, but it's a few months away. She and the other patients seemed disappointed at having to wait. During a bathroom break between hands, Mrs. Lieberman pulled me aside and told me she had a few firecrackers left over from Monday. So when the others got back from the bathroom, I announced that we were going to have a new holiday next Saturday, the 16th of July, and there would be more food and fireworks. Everyone was happy.
