ARTS AND ANTIQUES SHOW

 Our first annual Arts and Antiques show was held during National Nursing home week and was a HUGE success!  Residents and staff contributed items that were near and dear to their hearts to display for the day.  We had a beautiful variety and a nice turnout of visitors.  We look forward to doing it again next year.

'MY FAVORITE LIFE STORY'

On display during National Nursing Home week was another beautiful collage of "life stories" obtained from our residents.  The stories were written on tiny "books" and displayed on our B wing window for everyone to see.  

Doyle Shepler…”Going barefoot all summer except for church! After church we’d get in the car and the shoes would come off!”

Lois Webster..." I was a coal miners daughter and in our little mining community we were like one big family.  It didn't matter what your nationality was, we all stuck together!"


Tony Rend…”As a child I had dreams of singing on stage and the famous person whose song I was singing would walk up behind me and join me in the song…in fact my dream came true for I was the opening act for many big named artists.”

Jeanne Carberry…”When my Uncle Jack came to live with us, he was more like a brother to me.”

Madeline Sawyer…”When Daddy got the cattle and helping him on the farm.”

Ann Cekovsky…”When we all went to Disney World when the kids were little. Also camping with the kids in the rain in a pup tent!”

GIANT COLLAGE




The theme for National Nursing Home Week was "Celebrating Life's Stories" and the residents had many activities planned that created a lot of memories.  One of them was the creation of a collage of memories they cut out of magazines.  It was a work love and creativity and became part of our "Arts and Antiques" show later that week.  It is still hanging in the activity room so if you visit in this summer, stop and see it! 

A beautiful day!

Jackie Fowler and Lois Webster put the first pictures on our giant creation!
