Debbie is at the wheel and good naturedly taking some ribbing from a rider about taking the wrong turn—she should have turned “the other right!” and Donna is engaged with a group closer to the back of the van. The van is taking several Adith Miller and Roger Metz Manor residents on a meandering ride around town. “That’s my old house! Right here, this one—the third from the corner. And that’s the neighbor’s garage where everyone gathered for cookouts.” “I remember the people who lived there. I think they had six kids.” “Our kids were always there or their kids were at our house. Those were busy, fun days.” “Let’s go back down to Broadway. My house was just a few blocks off Broadway. It had a big front porch.” “What are they building there? I think I read something about that.” Everyone is enjoying the jaunt around town, navigating through their former neighborhoods, recalling memories and shared experiences of raising children, enjoying friends and even laughing about some of their early years when they had to find ways to “make ends meet.” Whatever their backgrounds, they now share a camaraderie as they travel the path together, finding comfort and joy at Adith Miller and Roger Metz Manors.
