🌻 Planting Seeds & Growing Smiles! 🌻

We had a blast out on the assisted living patio today! Residents Skip and Ann teamed up with our Activities Coordinator, Whitney, to get our raised garden beds ready for the season.

It was a picture-perfect spring day to get our hands dirty and enjoy the sunshine! ☀️ We can’t wait to watch these flowers grow. 🌷

We had such a blast at today’s Lunch and Learn! 🏔️

Our very own Sales & Marketing Manager, Karen, took us on a breathtaking journey through "The Last Frontier." Having lived in Alaska for over 30 years, Karen didn’t just show us photos—she brought the spirit of the North right into our community!

We spent the afternoon:
Hearing incredible stories from her three decades in the wild.
Learning surprising fun facts about Alaskan history and wildlife.
Viewing stunning personal photos of glaciers, mountains, and more.

It was a wonderful reminder that our community is full of amazing people with even more amazing stories to tell.

You won't believe who I ran into at Silver & Gold today!

I spotted the "Blues Brothers" AKA, Jonathan and Dave from "The Hearing Connection!" I’m not sure if they were looking for new fedoras or just some shiny gold to match those soulful vibes, but they certainly made my day. 🕶️🎤
It’s always a treat seeing these two out in the wild. If you need me, I’ll just be over here humming "Soul Man" for the rest of the afternoon! 🎶✨
