Halloween Party

November 1, 2012 By

We started the party out with Halloween trivia with monster punch and a cookie.  We then went into a “Monster Mash” Dance and “Ghost Busters”.  Lora, Karen and Judy moved about the dining room dancing and singing.  The residents laughed so hard!  Best party ever (they were saying).   We then went into our costume contest.   Several residents dressed up so the contest was pretty hard.  We then let the residents write down who they wanted to see win.  1st place went to Alice Otterness, She was the Harvest Lady!  2nd place was Norris Johnson, The pirate.  3rd place was Correne Clauson, Skeleton

Fun was had by All!!!

Hello Easter, by Lora Keeney, Activities Coordinator

Hello April!!

 

April’s upon us, though it looks like May, perhaps it’s nature’s joke on us for April Fools’ Day!

With Easter coming very soon, we need to perk up our dining room!

I’m calling all crafters once again, to come together with artistic pen. Let imaginations roll & turn something plain into a magical something with spring color flame!

Our crafters’ work is not nearly done, for we’re making Easter baskets for each & everyone!  These cute little baskets will be filled with Easter treats & you’ll probably see the prints left behind of rabbit feet!

We’re making Easter angels to add to our collection.  These lavender works of art will just scream out spring perfection!

“Umbrella Fun” is another time for crafters to not miss out on! Splashes of color & plenty of trim make this project an F-U-N, fun one!

It’s time for our “treasure hunt”- be sure to sign up!  At Salvation Army we’ll see what we find, then we’ll share some good food –don’t miss out, it’s sublime!

“The Levee Singers” will be here with their joyful fun filled spirits!  They’ll lift you up with their voices & smiles – you will definitely want to hear it!

A spring bouquet is next on our crafters’ list to do.  It sounds so very simple but this craft may challenge you!  But crafters love a challenge & it will stretch your imagination , to craft your flowers, no two alike & be proud of your creations!

Our Kmart trip will help you out with things you don’t find at our store. And the Chinese Buffet will make your day – who could ask for more?

Happy Hour will come alive with the “ Down Home” Bluegrass Band! Listen to the music, join the fun and give the band a hand!

Arm Chair travels to South Africa will be well worth your viewing.  The pictures will amaze you with their color & beauty & you’ll find some pictures quite amusing!

 

May Day Baskets is a great little craft that anyone can get in on!  They’re easy to make – even if you shake!  And they’ll bring back memories from eons!!

Randy Rolloff is back – the man with the hats & the music just pours right out of him!  With a smile on your face you’ll leave the place & with a song in your heart you’ll be singin’!

To the bluffs of Red Wing our van will go, with doughnuts & coffee –  “Hi Ho – Hi Ho”! Bring your binoculars, you don’t know what you’ll see – eagles, flowers or the Mississippi Queen!

So let’s enjoy April with it’s clean spring air & join all the activities without even a care!

Mardi Gra Party

February 28, 2012 By

 

Mardi Gra was a big hit here at Twin Rivers.  The residents loved the lunch, deep fried shrimp, dirty rice, asparagus and Mardi Gra cupcakes.  The party was fun also with masks and crowns.  We played a game to win beaded necklaces.  Fun was had by all!   Hats off to the leader of the pack “Lora Keeney” activity Coordinator.  She made the party so much fun!!!
