Puzzle Time

Every afternoon, Marge and Margaret go up to our Sports Lounge and work on a puzzle. The past few weeks they have been working on a beautiful picture of flowers. They really enjoy the chatting and laughing as they build their artwork. The other night they told me they were up until almost 11:00pm working hard so they could finish their puzzle. This morning they excitedly ran up to me because they had finally finished! I knew that I needed to take a picture to document their finished master piece.

Nice work ladies!!!!

ALOHA!

This past Saturday, all the residents got out their Hawaiian shirts and flip flops and enjoyed a Luau full of Hawaiian food and festivities. The University of Oregon Hawaiian club was kind enough to come to our community to help our residents make Leis and teach us about Hawaiian culture. We then enjoyed an afternoon of pulled pork, Hawaiian burgers, macaroni salad, pineapple upside down cake and even coconut ice cream! While everyone ate and enjoyed their meals, Brook Adams, played the ukulele and sang Hawaiian tunes. Everyone had a wonderful time, and Jo Collins even showed off her hula dancing skills.

Here Comes The Sun...

The sun is finally out and shining here in Eugene Oregon. Sun in Oregon means so many wonderful events will be happening... bikers, walkers and runners come out along with beautiful flowers and gardens finally start to come into bloom. A few weeks ago we planted some starters into our new garden beds and since then it has been fun to see them grow. We are anxiously awaiting when we will be able to eat the yummy vegetables that we have planted. Here are some pictures of what our garden beds currently look like!

B-I-N-G-O

Mondays and Thursdays we have our weekly Bingo games in the Ice Cream Parlor. This past Thursday, we had a fun crowd with Jeff, Renee, Marge, Dorthy, Jeri and Kathryn playing! The unusual thing about our Bingo that day was that Jeff, Renee and Dorothy all yelled "BINGO" at the same time for our final Blackout Round. B5 was the lucky number that caused all three of the residents to tie for the win and spilt the jackpot! It was definitely a memorable game!
