Sing a Long Time!!

 

This was the first sing a long, we gathered old songs that the residents had collected over the years. Made copies for everyone and had our Betty Boop playing the piano. It's a gorgeous sound hearing residents singing to a beautiful music that comes from the piano.

Air and Space Museum





On Friday our trip was to the Air and Space Museum in Eugene. We all had a blast and it took a lot of residents back to the past talking about the war planes. Whether they flew them or if it was their husbands or sons it got them all talking about it and the tour guide was awesome.

We always have once a month a New Resident Dinner. This is where our new residents get the first chance to have a meal in our private dining room. I decorate it with balloons and put together a gift for all the residents. The gift right now is our Garden Way Retirement coffee cup that I fill up with candies and a free meal ticket.
