Glenhaven Happenings – 8-30-2017
For the week of August 20-26
This week started with a road trip to the Dairy Queen and Culver’s. The cooking club people, who worked so hard on their fair projects, went and enjoyed a treat with their fair money. We also went on a drive-by to the greenhouse and past the elk farm.
Since we had no church on Tuesday this week, we played Bible Trivia, followed by Live to Be Healthy exercises. In the afternoon residents enjoyed some outside time in the courtyard, and roasted marshmallows for smores on the barbecue grill. We also had some excitement, as the umbrella over the picnic table went for a ride in the wind!
We picked some produce from our garden on Wednesday morning, and resident helped clean the green beans. Bingo in the afternoon was well attended, as usual. Delicious cookies and coffee followed.
The baking club really went to town on Thursday-it was zucchini day! We made zucchini jam, zucchini squares, and zucchini fries. The recipe for the zucchini squares came from Missy Klatt. She said it was her mom’s favorite zucchini recipe, and I have to say that it was delicious! The name sounded to me like some sort of dessert, but it was more like a soufflé, and was a hit with the residents. Thanks for the recipe.
The week ended up with Friday popcorn day and a game of dominoes. Music on Saturday will be Blue Sky Musicians.
Highlights for next week include Jane and Friends on Tuesday, St. John’s Bingo on Wed., and our rescheduled fishing trip to Star Prairie on Friday-let’s hope the weather holds out this time.
