e had a wonderful time yesterday with Elvis! I have never seen the residents so excited; they truly enjoyed dancing, singing, and having desserts and drinks while being entertained.

We were all sad to hear that "Elvis has left the building," and we cannot wait to have him back again soon.

We recently participated in Hearts Across America and have received over 50 Valentines, including one from England. I sent out 50 Valentines to various assisted living, memory care, and retirement facilities, and it has been wonderful to receive so many back.

We are nearly out of room as cards continue to arrive. Yesterday, we enjoyed "Cupid floats" while opening the latest deliveries. It has been so much fun learning about other states and hearing about everyone's local weather and news.

We truly enjoyed this experience and look forward to participating again next year, or perhaps even for Christmas.

Earl was our Co****le Champion and insisted that I share this funny picture with you.

Everyone has been enjoying the games—even those who don’t play have a great time watching and participating in the friendly heckling.

We had another wonderful day with our furry friends! Thank you so much for visiting us this past Thursday. The residents truly enjoyed petting the dogs and watching them wag their tails.

Thank you for sharing your time with us. We appreciate everything you do!

Last week, the residents spent time coloring pictures of themselves. They were so focused and involved in the activity that it was as if they were taking a test, and the finished pictures turned out wonderful.

I will post more photos.

Way to go, Bud!
