Tropical Gingerbread House

 

 

 

 

This is the very first Garden Way Retirement's Gingerbread House. The best thing is we did a tropical gingerbread house. The middle hut is our tiki hut, we have a outhouse, tiny little house's with ginderbread men and lounge chairs with even bar stools for the tiki hut. Residents all had a really fun time.



It's that time for Caroling

 

We have had the Cub Scouts here they gave everyone a cute surprise. One of our Residents daughter is the troop leader for the Cub Scouts. Seeing her daughter here gave her such excitement. All the residents loved the cute children.

 

 

The Dublinars are a local High School Choir residents always appreciate seeing them. They are a very out going singing group. They dance and sing and at the end of it all they come and hug and talk with our residents. We enjoy them as much as they enjoy coming to our community.

 

Just a couple days ago we had a residents church group come and carol for us also. They did end up gathering quite a crowd around them.

Holiday Dinner

 

Today we all found out how talented Chef Martin is at our Holiday Dinner. He created our ice sculpture, this has been a talent he has had for quite some time. All of us were in awe to see his other hidden talents. Just AMAZING!

 

The meal consisted of either Salmon or Prime Rib with a Baked Potato and Asparagus with Squash, of course we also had our full salad bar and many desserts to choose from.

Cub Scouts Pac 91

This evening we had cub scouts pac 91 come and donate a tree to our community.

Every night till christmas we will open a envelope which will have a special saying and a special ornament that the Cub Scouts made. After their presentation they sang two christmas carols. It was a very sweet gesture that all the residents loved and enjoyed.

Trip to University of Oregon

 

 

 

We had a wonderful tour of our very own local University of Oregon campus. The tour guide showed us the campus and all new building that have came up and let us see the famous building that was used in the"Animal House." The University was founded in 1876, it is 295 acre campus and has 260 academic programs that can range from Eugene to Portland Oregon.

Sing a long with the ukulele

 

Elizabeth our Community Development, running with her friend pinky (ukulele) to get in tune with our pianoist Betty.

 

On the count of three start 1. 2. 3. The First Nowell...

 

This was our biggest sing a long yet. We did a bunch of holiday music to get us in the spirit. I couldnt capture everyone in one pic. Soon as resident heard the holiday music they came strolling in.

Thrilling thursday

 

Every other month at Garden Way Retirement we have what is called Thrilling Thursday!

This is a chance for all residents to put their name in drawing and after two weeks I will pick a winner on a Thursday in front of the dining room. This special resident gets a chance to sit down with our chef and plan out a full meal that the resident will enjoy in our private dining room with their friends and or family. The other special part of this meal is that Chef Martin will serve and eat with you!



2nd year Anniversary

We had our 2nd year Anniversary on November 14th from 2-4 pm. Our turn out was wonderful, even the residents enjoyed the evening. Music was provided by a Noah Brenner a Harpist. As you see above the layout was gorgeous and everyone had such wonderful compliments.
