When the calendar says, "Baking Demo: Cookies with Patrick," folks gather around.  Today, Patrick Boylan, a baker at Thompson Senior Living Communities, shared his family recipe for the favorite molasses cookies!  Patrick did his training at Le Cordon Bleu in New Hampshire and has quite some skills in the baking department.  He demostrated how he assembles a batch of the molasses cookies and while he prepared the dough in his very own orange kitchenaid mixer (a gift from his Mom) he told us about the baked goods he prefers to make in our kitchen.  He loves to decorate cakes and cookies.  One of his other family recipes that he prepares for the residents is a raspberry cheesecake.  He enjoys baking and decorating wedding cakes and says that his passion came from his mother's love of baking.  it was a special treat to meet one of our talented cooks and to hear some of his personal story.  Thank you Patrick!

Making artificial poppies is a long-standing tradition and today we all pitched in to help the local Veterans Affairs assemble poppies. Close to 400 poppies were assembled and we had a good time sharing stories and remembering our own experiences with the symbolic poppy.

Love Boat: Confessions of a ship's surgeon

Love Boat: Confessions of a ship's surgeon

It is so great to see the number of residents in our community coming out to support one of their own.  On Thursday, April 7th, retired Dr. Bernard Oseroff presented a power point about his time working on his very own Love Boat!  Dr. Oseroff worked on the SS America where Doctors are referred to as "Assistant Surgeons".  He did make the point that he never performed surgery, but rather was the family medicine doctor for crew and up to 600 passengers at a time.  In order to work on this steamship, he also had to be certified as an "able bodied seaman" by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The SS America was a very luxurious ship, the length of two football fields!  During his time on the ship, he mentioned meeting the most beautiful woman he had ever seen before!  This lovely lady would become his wife of 54 years.  Dr. Oseroff or "Bern" as residents call him, reminisced about days gone by, shared artwork of the ship, as well as photographs of his time on this steamship.
