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!

Happy 100th Birthday!

Mary "Bernice" Frame celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday, April 22nd.  She grew up on a farm in Victor, NY and enjoyed playing with the neighbor children and chasing the chickens!  Her grandfather would pick them up in his horse and buggy and drop them off at the school on Main Street in Victor.  Bernice attended hairdressing school and worked in Rochester for awhile.  She eventually took a job in Victor as a switchboard operator where she was happy to be able to walk to work.

Together with her sister, they loved to dance, and attended every dance they could.  Her brother in law set her up with his cousin, Mark, and the rest was history.  They were married in 1947 at St. Patrick's Church in Victor.  They had five children and they all grew up in Victor.  A very exciting time for Bernice, was when she met President Reagan at a White House Christmas Party.  Bernice will also be featured on the Today Show's Smucker's Celebration of her 100th birthday.

We are happy to have been a part of her 100th birthday celebration here at Clark Meadows.  When asked what the secret to making it to 100 was, she said simply "just be a good person."
