This picture was taken many years ago. This lady was a resident in the same nursing home that my father was in. Nursing homes are not fun nor are they a place where we want to wind up but it is inevitable that many of us will have to spend our last days in such places. So, when we come to our last days, let us be like this grand lady, making the best of a bad situation,and....still laughing!! This is my entry for the "Faces" contest.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Outstanding candid shot and will make the perfect entry - her face has so much character and reminds me of my momma. Good Luck.

I know what you mean Owd Momma. My mother is in a Nursing Home and she has the same attitude as this lady.
A great shot for the contest.

Laughing is such a healthy emotion, but I sometimes think it's going out of vogue. My elderly mother's having a few problems now but the last thing she and the family want is for her to go into a home.

A thought provoking entry for me Pat, well done.
