Never a dull moment at Charlie’s Place.
And that is just the way we like it!

We started our morning with coffee and fresh baked muffins by Aileene (Our favorite baker)
Then we enjoyed some time outside watching the birds and enjoying the beautiful weather and awesome company and conversation.

We got a jump on Halloween because some of our peeps won’t be there tomorrow some of us dressed up today!
We laughed and joked about that all day!

A couple of us took a little expedition to the pasture to look at the 2 citrus trees growing behind Charlie’s Place.

We filled bird feeders.

And enjoyed listening to Washboard Willie from the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair!!
He was AWESOME!!!!

National Apple day… okay… may we suggest homemade APPLE CRISP!
And each person gave their review… thumbs👍🏼 or thumbs down 👎🏾

Also, it’s pup Wednesday. The peeps LOVE when the pups come visit.

Our backyard update: we had bluebirds investigating our bluebird houses!!!
We were so excited to watch them.
So many new birds visiting the yard, singing all day long and butterflies fluttering through the yard visiting our beautiful blooms.
It’s our happy place. And we are so thankful to Methanex for creating such a wonderful environment for us to enjoy.

There is NEVER a bad day at Charlie’s Place. Starting our National Chicken and waffles Day morning off with fun and laughing as well as chicken 🐓 and waffles 🧇.
We watered our beautiful flowers, filled our bird feeders, watched the butterflies and enjoyed our beautiful yard.
Then a visit from Lynda Parker Menard with the Ascension Parish Library.
What an AMAZING visit!
She read us a story about Appalachian moon men then did an activity with us. All the while laughing and talking with us. It was a wonderful visit. And as usual Lynda finds things she knows will be interesting to us. She brought us some more interesting books and a telescope to use!!!
Thank you to our favorite 😍 Librarian!😍🥰

Our days just keep getting better!
Started our morning off with our breakfast muffins and coffee… where else… outside under our new pavilion! THANK YOU METHANEX! (It is VERY Loved)
Beautiful weather, wonderful breeze, we enjoyed being outside watering all of our new plants.

It was National Fluffernutter Day!
So for our 2pm social we all tried fluffernutter sandwiches.
We were lucky because one client grew up eating them and told us how to make them. Yay!!! I didn’t get pictures but the sandwiches got rave reviews.

Bill Romano came and played his guitar and sang for us today! One of our favorite days of the month is when we get entertained by Mr Bill. Thank you Mr Bill. We always enjoy having you entertain us.

Ascension Parish Library , Lynda Parker Menard ,and our super special librarian, stopped in today to exchange out a few books and update us with some beautiful books on birds and butterflies to look for in our bird and butterfly friendly updated backyard 🥰

We also poured some plaster paintables.

Huge shout out to Aileen Mcqueen for all of her help. She is amazing! Thank you!!!!
