Glenhaven Happenings – 10-11-2017
Glenhaven News Oct. 1-7
It’s apple season, so the residents made Brown Betty for a snack on Bingo day. This is an old recipe that only a few of the residents had heard of. The recipe came from the internet, and was different from what my mother used to make, but was good none the less.
Tuesday was pancake breakfast day. The activity department is making pancakes or waffles the first Tuesday of each month for breakfast, and the residents are loving it. Pastor Brad was back after being gone for the summer, and the residents were happy to see him again. We started our fall decorating in preparation for Octoberfest and for the little ghosts and goblins who will be coming to see us on Halloween night.
We had our annual chili cook-off on Wednesday, and Ashley Falkner was the winner again this year. Her secret ingredient was bacon. Residents and staff got to sample and vote on their favorite, as well as have the chili for their lunch if they desired. Thanks to all who participated.
We finished up decorating on Thursday, and Live to be Healthy exercises were held in the morning. Residents are really enjoying the exercise program, and are seeing improvement in many areas.
On Friday, Deacon Wes was here for Catholic Communion and his monthly visits with the residents. It’s also popcorn day on Fridays.
Saturday we will have music at 2:00 with Scott Beaumont.
