Vista Prairie at Garnette Gardens

🌺 Escaping to a tropical state of mind on a chilly Minnesota afternoon...As the winter winds howl and the snowflakes fall, we're reminded that our minds have the power to transport us to a place of serenity and warmth.

Turns out, talking about Hawaii in winter isn't just wishful thinking — it's practically therapeutic. Thank you to Loni, our Director of Health Services, for sharing her recent trip with us and to our residents and visitors for sharing their Hawaii experiences with us also. Mahalo!

We like to celebrate National Pig Day, which is March 1st every year. This year again was the residents went "hog wild" which was nice to hear since our Activities gals were hoping it wouldn't be a "boar"for them. 😁 They also "pigged out" on pigs in a blanket and appetizers.

We enjoy sharing traditions among residents, volunteers and staff. Making Rosettes is one of them. For some it's the first time, for others it's the 80th time. That's how we pass along to the next generations. They are SOOOOO good!
