Ladies Spa Night

TwinRiversCampus — Tue, 28 May 2013 15:20:54 +0000

In honor of Mother’s Day, our ladies were invited to be pampered! The activity room was turned into a spa! We had hand massages, foot massages and manicures. Light music playing and great snacks after. It was a real treat…

The residents enjoyed a visit from “Snickers” the baby goat, who loved to be held and “Shamus” the baby Lamb! So darn cute!!!

Water Color Painting

TwinRiversCampus — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:38:53 +0000

The “crafters” at Twin Rivers had a lesson in watercolor for making our April raindrops! Each one had their paint, water, brush & practice paper to learn some watercolor techniques before starting in on the raindrops. Not only was it a fun learning experience, our raindrops turned out just beautiful – each one unique! We even had a rainy day to do the project! Placed in the dining room with the giant umbrellas we decorated, it looks like a whimsical April showers day! Today, as it rains & pours outside, we will decorate rain boots to complete the April scene in the dining room! I am so proud of our “crafters” at Twin Rivers & the effort they put into our projects! Our crafts bring a personal touch to our dining room that all the residents enjoy!

March Madness!!!

TwinRiversCampus — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:55:09 +0000

This month was filled with fun activities and great entertainment. Some highlights of this month are the Shamrocks and rainbows they made for the dining room decorations to homemade beef stew and men’s woodworking group. Then came Easter and the dining room was filled with little chicks and Easter Bunnies with grass to making fuzzy bunnies and little bunny and duckling baskets! It was a fun filled month!

Valentine’s Day

TwinRiversCampus — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:03:40 +0000

These giant cupcakes were not only very fun hands on project; they turned out to be one of the most adorable decorations yet! (Did I say that about our last craft? ) This idea popped into my head, no internet involved! The accordion fold…ed construction paper became the base & tissue paper with lots of decoupage on the pattern turned into thick nummy looking icing! Of course we needed sprinkles & hearts to make them ready for Valentine’s Day! Our residents simply LOVE them in our dining room! Lora, Activity Coordinator

Summer Time Dreamin

TwinRiversCampus — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:52:40 +0000

“That sure brings back memories”…….is what I heard time after time from our residents Saturday night at our “Summer Dreamin’” supper & entertainment hour.

The velvety voice of Tim Patrick sent everyone into a different time; a time of ballroom dancing with their “sweetheart” on Saturday night; a time when love was in the air.

Tim Patrick‘s voice rivals that of Frank Sinatra or Andy Williams & everyone truly enjoyed the evening performance. With lemonade & lemonade cocktails served there was definitely some “Summer Dreamin” goin’ on!

It’s times like this as the activities coordinator for Twin Rivers, that I feel truly blessed to bring moments like this to our residents.

Fresh Vegetable Soup

TwinRiversCampus — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:24:38 +0000

What’s better on a cold winter’s day than homemade soup? We gathered together to chop and stir up a wonderful fresh vegetable soup! Luckily, we had Pete Remme show up for our cooking group, with his own utensils in hand! He had the honor of chopping up our head of cabbage – and he did a great job too! Fresh carrots, onion, red potatoes, green beans, , home canned tomatoes & garlic all went into our soup. But, our “special” ingredient that made our soup so delicious, was a bottle of dark German beer! Everyone enjoyed eating a bowl of our “creation” and left with another bowl to take home for later! And as you all know, the next day it will be even better! Mmmmmmmmm good!!

TwinRiversCampus — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:12:39 +0000
