Sorry, I have to disagree with this one. I work in a nursing home and photo albums are nice but are hard to handle when you get older and don't have a lot of arm and hand strength. a
couple of my residents have the picture quilts their families have
made for them and they cherish them. Yes, they have been
washed and have some fading but they are spread out on their beds and they are so proud to show everyone that enters their room "their family". Ron, this is a great thing you want to do and yes, please visit your father soon.
