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.

Senior community staff acknowledged on National Assisted Living Week

It was Thursday afternoon about 2:45 pm and the staff in the entire community were called to Clark Meadows for another presentation.  Standing socially distanced along with many residents, the following was presented by Jody Wilbur, Lifestyle Coordinator.

"During these trying times over the past 6 months, the team....our staff, has been outstanding.  Keeping all of us out of harms way with safety precautions, sanitizers, masks, locked doors, etc.  They have shown us kindness, patience, humor and love.  This is National Assisted Living Week and there is no greater staff or group of friends than what we have here at Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills.  Today is heart day and as poet Maya Angelou once said, " I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people."  The real heroes are all around us here today.  You all deserve a heart award today.  You are our heroes and we thank you for all you do for us."

Each staff person then received a heart award for 2020 from Margaret or Al; two of our residents at Clark Meadows.  A special afternoon for all!
