Today’s Wacky Wednesday brought a festive pop of orange as we embraced this week's theme of pumpkins and all things Halloween! 🎃 Lynn, on vacation this week, even sent us a selfie of her participation from Mexico!
Residents enjoyed colorful rounds of pumpkin painting—a fun and relaxing way to get into the spirit of the season. The Dubreuil group joined in our fun, too. After a lively game of kickball, we enjoyed a visit from our four-legged friend, Hiker. Add in a high note of live music from Denise Therrien, and there were definitely lots of reasons to smile today!

Big shout out to the American Legion Post 49 Tilton, NH Auxiliary! Thanks to their steadfast support of our veterans, we enjoyed a delicious ice cream social this weekend. Add in toe-tapping music by Dave Durkee, and a great time was had by all!

Today was an especially creative and reflective day at NHVH! The weather may be cooling, but the smiles aren’t going anywhere...
Our Shutterbugs Photography Group gathered for their final meeting before next Friday’s much-anticipated NHVH Art Show. This talented group has spent the season taking and editing incredible photographs; we can’t wait to see them on display. Residents took part in Art Studio, painting autumn-inspired scenes and enjoying time together around the canvas. Bible Study offered quiet reflection, and on the neighborhoods, residents and staff watched the progress on our courtyard construction. It’s been exciting to see that area transform.

It was RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday at NHVH. Rowan (the dog)'s friendly presence was felt all across the Home. Our newest veteran family member, Judith, enjoyed getting to know Rowan, too! Bean bag toss kept things active, and throughout the day, residents enjoyed classic tunes as evidenced by the sounds of Willie Nelson’s greatest hits. We also enjoyed energy and smiles with a lively bowling session; residents took turns knocking down pins and cheering each other on. A relaxing and joyful fall Friday at our Home!

During our a festive and fun Thursday, our monthly Birthday Bingo celebration was a big hit. Generously sponsored by the Loudon Lions Club, this special game honored all October birthday residents. Thank you to the Lions Clubs for helping us celebrate in such a joyful way!
Also today, Dungeons & Dragons brought imagination and storytelling to life. Our coffee social was made even more special by visits from members of the Belmont American Legion Post 58—always a pleasure to welcome guests who care so deeply for our veterans. And we watched continued progress on our courtyard renovation project. Happy Friday Eve, everyone!

We were honored to once again welcome the Patriot Piecemakers, Quilts of Valor to present beautiful, handmade quilts to our 2 new WWII veterans and 5 Korean War veterans, honoring their service to our country: Fred Campbell, Moe Brunelle, Gordon McCormack, Melvin Doe, Bobby McKeen, Otis Woodard, and Gerry Jutras. Jack Tobey was also honored to personally thank the talented quilters for the gift he received earlier this month. We are deeply grateful to Kathy Bacon and her group of volunteers and supporters for their continued dedication to honoring our veterans—one quilt at a time.
Even though we still have another week to go, we are sharing a sneak peek at what’s in store next week! Check out the group of our veterans who were very excited to share their costume choices for Halloween.
Today’s Wacky Wednesday colorful theme brought bright miles and bright outfits, alike. Throughout the day, staff and residents embraced the “most colorful outfit” theme, adding an extra layer of fun to the week. One resident in particular, Dee Brown, wanted to make sure everyone noticed her vibrant and playful shoes—which definitely brought the spirit of the day to life!

Today, we had a fantastic visit from students at Tilton School who joined our residents for a pumpkin carving session. It was Gene's first time - at 90 years young! The room was full of smiles, laughter, and the unmistakable sound of fall fun. We’re so thankful for these students and the joy they bring to our Home every Tuesday.
We also had two of our four-legged friends—Arlo and Nash—visited to spread even more cheer.
Also on our agenda were Halloween crafts and cracking up with Recreation staff as they created spooky (and silly) decorations. Outside, more necessary tree removal took place, continuing our progress of opening the courtyard area for safer use.
And in a quiet moment of reflection, we caught a meaningful framed photo of Mr. Bill Coburn —showing him proudly standing near the edge of an aircraft carrier. A true Navy man, and a reminder of the powerful stories that live within our walls. We’re thankful for him sharing this with us!

Today, we had a very special visit from the Loudon Elementary School Student Council! These amazing 4th and 5th grade students came to interview a group of our veterans in a town hall-style forum, asking thoughtful questions about military service, communication with loved ones, and what it means to serve your country. Their curiosity, respect, and maturity left a lasting impression on everyone. They truly are tomorrow’s leaders.
Today also brought our always-popular Ladies Tea, complete with warm apple cider donuts, vanilla and salted caramel ice cream, and great conversation. It’s always heartwarming to see so many of our ladies gathered together for some well-deserved relaxation and dessert.
Two of our favorite furry friends—Luna and Huck—also visited throughout the day, spreading plenty of joy and tail wags around the Home.
We saw courtyard renovation progress despite the rain with the removal of a courtyard tree to prepare for a refurbished courtyard, free of the tree roots that create an unsafe and uneven path.
