Church bells could be heard faintly ringing as we looked back
upon our wedding days and the memories we shared with loved ones. Just
like our residents, no two weddings are alike and we shared a variety of
stories and photographs. The highlight for the ladies was comparing dresses—and
grooms, and in the end, it was agreed that everyone looked beautiful and had
made quite a good catch.
While March was busy blowing in like a lion outdoors, we kept
cozy and comfortable as we settled into the Brookside lounge for some Coffee
and Crooners. Residents enjoyed a film highlighting performances and clips of
variety shows from Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Nat King Cole.
The coffee was hot, as were the jokes and dance numbers. Perry Como was very
funny, and Old Blue Eyes was just as captivating as ever.
We had a touch of the luck of the Irish with warmer
weather and peeks of green popping up. In our Garden Spot lounge, residents
watched a film that took them on an Imagination Vacation of historic Ireland,
showcasing the country that brought us leprechauns and pots of gold at the end
of rainbows.
Shakespeare said, “God has given you one face, and you make
yourself another.” Residents decorated masks in the style of Comedy or
Tragedy. Because we’re a lighthearted bunch here, most ended up leaning towards
Comedy, although one did go for a romantic Tragedy, with our heroine wearing a
smile despite her tears.
