Tondalaya VanLear at Roanoke.
Time does, after all, make up our days.
A short visit from a friend reminded me. His name is Ben and while he's past 80, his eyes still twinkle as if he's just edging up on 18. Ben resides just half a block away at the Shenandoah Adult Care Home. He's been part of that crowd for several years now. The Home has been a part of my neighborhood for over 30 years.
