Doing Our Thing
Another typical Roland Park Place day, spending it with a few of our fabulous residents. We kept it local today, participating in a Baltimore By Boat tour, which is sponsored by Baltimore Heritage (BH).
From the BH Website: “Join us to discover America’s history on Baltimore’s water with our new Inner Harbor boat tours! America defeated the British here. Frederick Douglass escaped from here. Today we are pioneering watershed restoration here. We will start near the Harborplace pavilions and go all the way out to see Fort McHenry from the water and back again. Join us for 300 years of history on a live-narrated tour of Baltimore’s world-famous Inner Harbor. Come see how Baltimore’s wonderful waterfront connects the past with the present and Baltimore to the rest of the world.”
I can’t say enough about Baltimore Heritage. They do excellent work. As for their volunteers… They are the best. (Thank you, Merry!)
As for Roland Park Place… I love our residents. We always have a good time together. My goal is to keep them young and active, and their goal is to keep me out of trouble (written with over-the-top sarcasm).
On a more serious note, there is much enjoyment to be had when the generations hang out together. I know our health improves. We don’t have time to feel lonely and isolated. We nurture our life skills. The best part… We are building a stronger community.
Before heading out on our trip today, I heard one of our resident say, “It’s too early. I think I might go back to the apartment.” Of course I said, “NOPE!” This same resident would say to me later, “Thank you, Paul! I am so glad I joined the group.”
Dear Residents… Thank you for another awesome day. Hanging with you feeds into my joy and happiness. – paerki
