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.

Holiday Dinners at Ferris Hills

Elbow Dinners

Every year we gather small sections of the community (we call them 'Elbows') and host a special holiday dinner.  Each elbow has their private night of celebration in Rayburn Hall.  Our Chefs go all out designing their menu and the halls are decked for the occasion.  It is a special gathering of neighbors and friends.  We cherish these moments. These pictures invoke for me a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson....."Behold our family here assembled.  We thank you for this place in which we dwell, for the love accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth we give thanks."
