Today Mom and I are taking a tour of the Independent Living facilities at O'Connor Woods. Included with this tour is a lunch at the Dining Room that is a part of the Independent Living Community.

O'Connor Woods is a multi-level retirement community with no buy-in fees that offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation.

Residents enjoy a unique lifestyle on 34 acres filled with century-old oak trees, walking trails, and beautiful gardens, with the freedom to enjoy a lifestyle they deserve.

Mom really does not wish to leave her home, but as her health declines it is time for her to at least visit places where she may wish to move to. And O'Connor Woods has great facilities for Independent Living not found in many places around the country.

Mom took a trip through the salad bar


I skipped the salad bar and had the Sauerbratten, Potato Pancake and Red Cabbage


Mom decided on a roast beef sandwich on sourdough


She only finished a half of the sandwich

After we leave O'Connor Woods we drive about 25 miles to Wong's Chinese Deli in Escalon, CA.
She was running out of Char Shui {Chinese BBQ Pork}. She usually buys three large orders and takes the pieces home, slices them and puts them into a number of zip lock bags and then into the freezer. But she also buys tonight's dinner for herself and my sister whose home she lives at.
I had carried a cardboard box full of items to the car and Mom followed

Then the drive back home to Stockton.
