I found myself looking through some pictures of our residents in their “former lives.” Most of these pictures have been posted in their meet the residents posts for anyone who cares to scroll back through them. Anyway, it was fun for me to look at their pictures prior to retirement and then scrolling through their pictures since they came to our farm to retire. I enjoyed looking at these Then and Now comparisons and I hope you do as well.
