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.

Today at Clark Meadows, Katherine McGrath lead the Music History series with a new topic.  Great Concuctors, such as Marin Alsop, Lorin Verncove Maazel, Herbert von Karajan, Juliette Nadia Boulanger, and Fritz Reiner were featured.  So interesting to learn about the different styles and what all those hand gestures and arm motions mean!

And they're off!

They say it is the most exciting two minutes in sports!  Residents at Ferris Hills held their own Kentucky Derby party Friday afternoon.  Mint Julep's were being served, along with Makers Mark, wine and beer choices.  The famous "Hot Brown" sandwich was served as well.  This American hot sandwich was created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky in 1926.  It is a variation of traditional Welsh rarebit.  With everyone in their finest Derby hats, they were ready to place their bets on their horses....all in fun, as they participated in their own "races".  The number one horse, Poncho Pinata took first place!  As we all know by now, the real winner at the Derby was Rich Strike!  If you watched the race this past weekend, you will agree that this was the most exciting two minutes in sports!
