Photo Essay - "Important To Us"
Important to Us...

What’s important to us, the residents of Wedgewood Nursing Home, is our regular visits from local registered therapy dogs.
Most of us had pets at some time in our lives. We miss daily contact with them. These furry friends not only provide a wonderful break in our day but also enjoy the opportunity to pet them. They certainly bring us smiles.
The therapy dogs that visit us regularly are: Taylor, Kendall, Snoopy, Lexi, Katie, and Boon. (The staff and visiting family members and friends also enjoy seeing the dogs). Doris Taft enjoys a visit from Taylor and Kendall who visit the residents every Wednesday.

This photo shows something that’s very important to me - the old Clarkson Academy Schoolhouse I attended for the first five years of my education. Left abandoned for almost 50 years, it’s now almost restored. This building started as a very important place, in the 19th Century, and will remain forever for generations to visit and enjoy.

Garrett J. Reinschmidt, grandson of Joseph and Heide, was about two when he went for a walk near his home in Montana. His diaper kept dropping so he just reached around, pulled it up and held it there for the rest of the mile or so walk.
