Jack's Place

My clever friend Barb suggested that we could post photos by inserting the camera SD card directly into the slot on the computer. (Remember that we forgot to bring the cable that connects camera to computer.) So now I can show you some photos of where we are staying.

Jack's Place is right across the parking lot from Shaw Cancer Center in Edwards CO. Jack's has 12 private patient rooms and several communal shared spaces. Jack's has a "pay-as-you-are-able" philosophy -- suggested fee is $25 a day (for rooms that would cost around $300 a day in this area), but no one is ever turned away.

Each room has a private bathroom, tv/dvd player, small table and two chairs and a small refrigerator for drinks.

Here is the dining and sitting area. There are several tables. Eating in rooms is not allowed.

This is the kitchen we all share. We pick a section of one of two fridges to store our food; there is freezer space too. On the opposite wall are 12 cupboards - one for each room, to store other food items. We have two microwaves, two dishwashers, coffee maker, plus gas stove and oven. Dishes, pots and pans are supplied. We all clean up after ourselves.

Here is the downstairs game room with big screen tv and fireplace.

This is our library - lots of good books as well as audiobooks. I am currently reading a book I found here: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. Wonderful book! The library also has a computer and printer that we can use.

The sunroom faces southwest - a nice spot to sit in the morning. There is an outside patio through french doors from the sunroom.

I didn't get a picture of the laundry room that has two washers and four dryers.

If we can't be home, Jack's Place is a fine place to be. But we would much rather be home.
