National Fluffernutter Day at The Arbors 🥜🍞.

Did you know the beloved Fluffernutter sandwich has Massachusetts roots?
In 1917, Archibald Query of Somerville invented a sweet marshmallow-like spread called Marshmallow Creme. A few years earlier, during World War I, Emma and Amory Curtis of Melrose created Snowflake Marshmallow Creme and published the first known recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich — what we now know as the Fluffernutter!

We celebrated this sweet tradition with delicious Fluffernutter sandwiches during our afternoon social.

Arbors residents are getting into the spirit of Halloween as we prepare for our “Lift Your Spirits Week” 👻🎃🕸️

One of our favorite games this year is “You’ve Been Booed!” A festive Halloween tradition where someone secretly leaves a treat and a “You’ve Been Booed” sign for a neighbor, then vanishes like a ghost. The lucky recipient keeps the fun going by surprising two more neighbors with their own treats and hanging a “We’ve Been Booed” sign to show they’ve already joined the chain.

We ended the day with some delicious treats from the local farm stand 🌻🥮🌻
