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.

Computer Classes

Senior Computer Teacher, Daniel Jones, was a huge hit with the residents.  Daniel held six 90-minute classes at Ferris Hills covering everything from online banking to security.  Each topic went into detail and gave the residents a better understanding of what they could do with their phones, tablets and computers. 

As technology continues to change and develop so does our need to learn.  The tips and tricks that Daniel highlighted will save a lot of time and headaches.  A number of residents have since hired Daniel for one-on-one lessons.  We are happy the community Wi-Fi which was installed throughout the building earlier in the year is being used to its full potential!
