Come in suckers, leave your wallet on the bar!

Last week my princess and I went to a shin dig and danced the night away!

Jesse Sinatra performs at local area assisted living facilities, and I assist him with bookings when I can.

His act was a pro-bono performance for a Hud Subsidized Assisted Living Facility:

Town Center Place in Ypsilanti Michigan.



I am blogging about this place because I know with my dad dying of sarcoma cancer in his lungs, and being poor, it is so hard to find residence that is friendly, affordable, clean, and safe.

I have been to the ritzy assisted living facilities in Ann Arbor, where there are chandeliers, a restaurant, an open bar for special occasions, such as when Jesse Sinatra is hired to perform there. They are very impressive, but no one in my family could ever dream of spending our last days at a fancy facility like those.
Nope, my dad, mom, and most likely I will end up in a Hud Subsidized low income facility like Town Center Place.

But you know what?
I really don’t mind, especially if there are units available at the one we partied at the other night!

The residents and staff make up for the missing amenities found at high end facilities.




Here are some pictures me and my princess and Mr. Jesse Sinatra at a holiday party sponsored by Town Center Place…




It was a Dress Up Party, and the staff offered the residents free dress up attire to residents who did not have anything nice to wear.



This was my absolute favorite dress up resident!

Come on peeps…. She is a grandma and she is dressed to the nines and is wearing fishnet stockings and thigh high boots to boot! Lol

This is so going to be me at 60 year old! I will be a hot Grammy! Not some frumpy one! Lol




One quiet resident was watching the party from a corner in the hall, and I came up to him when Jesse Sinatra was singing, “Summer Wind”… and I asked him to dance with me. He nodded his head “no”… just as I took his hand in mine and led him to the dance floor.


Guess what?
He could DANCE! He actually led!
All the residents there were shocked! We danced three songs together.

I kept getting responses like,

“Girl, how did you get him to dance with you?”
And,

“I have tried for 3 months to get him to talk to me.”
And the best comment was,

“Girlfriend, you made his year!”

This was the BEST holiday party I have ever been to. No open bar, no appetizers, no chandeliers, no formal décor.

But it had a life of its own and I am honored that the residents opened their hearts to me and my princess!
