The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

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.

Keep On Keeping On....

We all remain fit and healthy at Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows which we put down to 'following the rules' and laughing every day.

Our residents are keeping in contact with one another, seeing faces as they get their morning coffee, making the most of shopping at the onsite store and moving as much as possible. 

The fitness center signup sheet is being put to good use to allow plenty of time to workout and the trails are being used daily, especially as the weather improves. 

We have all noticed an increase in birds which has been great for our avid bird watchers!  This is just another reason for people to get out and enjoy the beautiful grounds.

The staff are always coming up with ideas to keep a smile on people's faces, the latest is from one team member who had flower cookie cutouts made for all 130 residents which were delivered door to door with a lovely message.  

We know the residents appreciate the effort being made and they thanked everyone by making and hanging a huge banner with all staff names, we know how much time must have went in to doing this and it was very well received. 

I'm not sure who needs whom more at the moment, staff or residents, I just know we are getting through this together and there is no place we would rather be.
