In celebration of International Women's Day, we'd like to introduce everyone to Sandy. Born in West Virginia, she's a mother of three and a proud grandmother to four grandsons. Sandy's life journey has been filled with diverse experiences. She initially embarked on a path of religious devotion, spending two years as a nun at Mount Saint Mary's, a convent Catholic school in Brentwood. Ultimately, she knew that this wasn't her destined path. She then met the love of her life, her husband of 53 years. Together, they built a family and were blessed with their children and grandchildren. 💕

From a very young age, around five years old, Sandy showed a keen interest in music, particularly the piano. Recognizing her potential, her parents nurtured her talent by arranging piano lessons. Sandy finds joy in giving back to her community. Every Sunday, she volunteers her time and shares her passion for music by playing the piano at the Grand Salon for everyone. Sandy is also passionate about crafting, art, and learning new skills! She has embraced diamond art and was excited to share her creation of two love birds. 🎶

To further celebrate her life's journey, Sandy wanted to share her cherished wedding photo of herself with her beloved husband, Tom. We are truly fortunate to have Sandy in our art classes, where she generously shares her creativity and inspires others! ✨

In celebration of National Shirley Day, we honored the one and only Shirley Temple! A timeless icon who brought joy to generations. We enjoyed classic Shirley Temple floats while watching a collection of her most beloved performances. The room was filled with laughter, cherished memories, and heartfelt sing-alongs as everyone reminisced about seeing her on screen in their younger years.

It was a beautiful afternoon of nostalgia, connection, and celebrating a true legend whose light continues to shine across generations! ✨

This International Women’s Day, we're celebrating Angela! She's a woman whose journey spans countries, decades, and countless accomplishments. Born in the United Kingdom in 1947, her childhood was shaped by adventure when her family moved to Canada in the 1950s before eventually settling in the United States.

She built a successful career as a secretary and worked her way up to an administrative assistant through determination and hard work. In her younger years, she loved bowling and nurtured a passion for dance, taking several classes to refine her craft. Today, she enjoys exploring museums and getting lost in a good book. Angela’s story is one of resilience, growth, and lifelong curiosity which serves as a beautiful reminder that strength and passion can carry us anywhere. 💜

As part of International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating our very own Janet! She is a woman whose life has been rooted in love, family, and dedication. Born in Pasadena, she began her next great chapter when she married in 1960 to the love of her life, Mario. A proud mother of two and grandmother of three, Janet spent years working part-time in real estate while devoting most of her time to what she treasures most: being a full-time grandma. Her strength, warmth, and unwavering commitment to her family are a beautiful reminder that the impact of a woman’s love can shape generations. 💐

To celebrate the upcoming International Women’s Day, we're recognizing Maria, a woman whose life has been filled with creativity, resilience, and love. Born in San Juan, Argentina, she began studying art and drawing at just six years old, already showing the creativity that would shape her life. By age nine, she was helping her mother around the house, especially in the kitchen, where her passion for cooking first began.

As a teenager, she loved making desserts and decorating cakes for weddings and special celebrations, sharing her talents with her community. She married in 1964 and became a devoted mother to two children, enduring the heartbreaking loss of one at the age of 50 with incredible strength. Later, she turned her passion into a bakery business in Santa Ana, continuing to spread joy through her creations. Today, we honor her dedication, artistry, perseverance, and the beautiful legacy she has built. 💜

We had a fantastic time on with our Assisted Living group, and it was all thanks to the kind volunteers from Grace Avenue church. They generously provided us with chocolate-covered strawberries and delicious hot chocolate, complete with all the lovely extras. The artwork was a nice touch, and it was the perfect antidote to the chilly weather! ✨
