On November 20th, we had the privilege of celebrating a 100th birthday with our very own Ruth Edes! We honored Ms. Ruth with a harpist, a beautiful and tasty bakery cake, and a framed card signed by all of us. It’s not every day you get to celebrate a century with someone!

To celebrate the beginning of summer, we finally set our butterfly friends free!

They even started naming them (even though we had no idea which was which!). We sent them off with a toast of […]
In honor of National Camera Day, we went back to the basics with Polaroid Pictures! Residents were shocked that this type of camera was still made. We collectively decided to take pictures holding pictures of when they were younger. [envira-gallery id=”5185″]
We’ve now done two Cottage Country Stores and it’s been a hit with our residents! Whenever residents play bingo, they receive one Bingo Buck per win (5 for coverall).
