Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

So, I'm telling tails out of school.  Our residents often get chatting in the living room about ideas for our socials.  One of our residents thought it might be fun to do unusual food pairings.  They didn't expect us to actually follow through.  When our Program Manager came into the living room with a bag of Baby Ruth Bars and a squeeze bottle of mustard they were astounded!  I came on the scene late wondering what they were all laughing about.  Everyone was giving it a go and enjoying the strange combination of sweet and spicy.  That was just the beginning.  Our Nurse Coordinator said, "game on" and she proposed the following week that we try pickle and peanut butter sandwiches!  The next week our Case Manager suggested doritos and ice cream!  Today, before our happy hour Melissa served up ice cream with wine and fruit!  Rave reviews all around the room!

May Day!

May Day!

Sunshine!  Glorious sunshine!  Together, staff and residents celebrated May Day (May 1st) with fanfare.  The weather forecast was for rain, but to our delight the sun came out and the temperature rose!  Our Maypole ribbons wafted in the wind as we gathered folks to sit along the sidewalk (6 feet apart).  Some were able to peer out their windows.  The joy of a Spring day was felt by all.  The traditions of May Day date back to ancient times.  Early May Day celebrations began with the Floralia, a festival honoring Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers.  Our Maypole dance brought forth memories from our residents of a bygone era of Spring celebrations of their youth.  May baskets were also delivered to celebrate the day.  We are so happy to welcome the month of May!
