The Barbie Movie The Barbie Movie What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention? KristenMeyer / Tuesday, October 17, 2023 0 7843 Ok. So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday. The pre-party was a hoot! The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable. It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene. Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it." There it is!!! Women talking to each other through generations. Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie. There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times. Read more

Lynne Standish / Monday, February 15, 2021 / Categories: Clark Meadows Blog "I'm a poet and didn't even know it!" Congratulations to our Poets! Please enjoy their work. Ode to my Cart Oh sturdy cart so faithful and true....what would I do without you? Always full of appropriate supplies, so that no mess comes with a surprise! Gloves, sprays, brushes and rags...not to forget, the many sized bags. A broom, a bucket and handy mop, I can clean all day without a stop. Add a license plate & a rubber ducky horn and wadda ya know, a housekeeper is born. Winter View White snow covers the winter world beyond my window, while soft streaks of vapor, yellow and red, stretch across the easterly sky. We have a glimpse of God's orderly plan, of which we humans know only a tiny fraction. How beautiful is all that we see before us! Spring and Summer will arrive when they're due; The earth will continue to spin on its axis. On some future day, I hope to meet my relatives, long-long gone, but eager to see me again. That, too, will be a beautiful day! Winter Roses are red, so it is said, and violets are blue, I know that is true. In upstate NY we all pop a cork: Winter is here. Time for snowmen, snow angels, maple sundaes and pancakes, and the blessed virginity of new fallen flakes...Winter has come! My Clark Meadows Family Families are larger than nuclear and extended. Families are the every day people in our lives. Families are present every day, all year. Families spend holidays together because they care. To my everyday family, I wish you a Happy Valentines Day.
