Our sunsets here in Merrimack Valley are spectacular. And, what could make a better forefront symbol than Old Glory waving high & proud over our home, The Woods at Merrimack?

Once upon a time…

There’s nothing like a simple craft to spark conversation & evoke laughter. This morning our group used all sorts of media to make beautifully unique bookmarks. No need to sneak a peek at the last page, this story had a very happy ending.

Mum Nature’s snowfall sneak attack on Tuesday morning didn’t deter us from celebrating Spring’s arrival with an Iced Tea Social in our Bistro.

Our friend, favorite Medicare Plan Advisor & resident’s daughter, Pauline Kalil, provided the selection of teas & sweets for our casual get together. I’d say it was just what the meteorologist ordered.

Pauline S. Kalil is an Independent Medicare Plan Advisor with Benefit Advisors Group, LLC.

Our Garden Club is excited to share these “baby” pictures. Our seedlings are taking root & starting to grow big & strong.

This year is an exercise in commitment & patience as we started from seeds. In prior years, our Garden Club replanted greens, flowers & herbs that had already been started for us. I’d say our little green beings are showing lots of growth potential.

Thank you to residents Kathy R. & Nina R. for organizing & to all of our volunteers who lent a thumb at our seeding event in March.

Lightly seasoned grilled chicken topped this fresh green salad full of delicious ingredients including mandarin orange slices, walnuts & shredded cheese. This less guilty option definitely made our residents more happy.

Some bunny has been busy decking the halls in our Magnolia Building. Easter bonnets off to resident Joanne W. for bringing the spirit of Spring & Easter with her festive seasonal decor. What a joyful greeting as you enter the residence. I think E.B. would definitely approve!
