The Portsmouth Master Gardeners brought a program on cranberries on their visit in November. We not only learned about cranberries, we got to taste test Crasins (dried cranberries) and cranberry muffins. They brought a wonderful craft picture frame craft for us to do! The Music Staff students gave two recitals for us in late October. In the final recital the students dressed in Halloween costumes! We had some fun getting ready for our Halloween Happy Hour. We made Jack-o-lanterns out of colorful peppers and filled them with fresh veggies!
Our friend Frank Cubillo (aka Frank sings Frank) serenaded us with some great Frank Sinatra tunes and he even took Trudy Roberts for a spin around the dance floor. One Sunday in November we tried an old fashioned Hymn Sing. By the looks of the turnout, we will be doing that again. What a joy to sing the old hymns we grew up with! Friends and families of our residents: Please be aware of those around you as you leave the building. We have some residents who have Wander Guard bracelets on to protect them from leaving the building and becoming lost. Please do not allow residents to follow you out of the building if the door alarm is sounding. We appreciate your attention to this safety matter. We love our residents!
