As of yesterday afternoon, Clarke is happily settled at Northwest Place on NW 24th & Marshall. He started off by joining their Hallowe'en festivities the day before the move.
The staff had created the most amazing costumes, and took on the mannerisms of the characters they were playing: the figity White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, Minnie Mouse, the Mermaid...the list goes on. Also a bounty of treats, from cheese platters to dips and chips to cupcakes, etc. It was a fun beginning.

Mabsie and Claudette helped with settling in, and I am about to go over there now with sundries previously overlooked. But first I'm going back to Courtyard at Mount Tabor to try to find his hearing aid, which vanished yesterday morning.
He seems pleased as punch to be back on the west side in his old familiar stomping grounds. This place is in a neighbourhood he's know since childhood, and only a little over a mile from the house he grew up in...even the same postal code! He is indeed a West Side boy!

I wish I had a photo of the Mad Hatter, but I do have a quote:
“Everyone wants some magical solution for their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic.”
