Roaring Rapids Pizza

One of our residents favorite place to eat is Roaring Rapids Pizza Company. Not only is there delicious pizza for a great deal, but also a beautiful view overlooking the Willamette River. We had a great time socializing just in time to ride the carousel.
Rene ordered a pizza that she thought was an individual size... this is what she got instead... haha

Name that Tune!!!!!!!

We had our very own resident Betty Rust host a game for our residents "Name that Tune". Over twenty residents came out to enjoy a game in which Betty played a song, and our residents wrote down what song they thought it was. The competition was fierce because the prize was a valued FREE MEAL ticket for a resident to invite a friend! Everyone had a great time singing along and reminiscing about what they remember about each song!

Our winner Hal, who guessed 24 out of 26 songs correct!

Albany Carousel and Hungarian Food

This past Friday we went on an amazing trip to the Albany Carousel Studio where volunteers are currently working to create a hand carved, hand painted carousel which will be located in the downtown area. It was amazing to see the detail that went into each sculpture. Each of the animals on the carousel were designed by members of the community, this each animal has a story. Please take a look at the link for more information regarding the project!

We then at lunch at Novak's Hungarian food which was out of this world delicious! I have never had Hungarian food but let me tell you it was so yummy!

Love is in the Air

At Garden Way, love is in the air and we are loving every minute of it! This Valentines Day we celebrated with a candlelight dinner and dance. Each resident voted for the "sweetest heart" of Garden Way then continued by dancing the night away! Here are some pictures of our evening!
