Mrs. Venation's dad has Alzheimer's and has been in an assisted living facility for a little over a year. The staff there takes very good care of him.
To say thank you, we want to send the staff a gift of treats. First stop: Harry & David. But I remembered that their baskets contain not much bigger than sample sizes of each treat. We want to send something better.
Edited to add that we'll be ordering off the interbuts, and shipping to Tennessee.
Ideas? Thanks!
PS !
