Ifa trip out is scheduled for out oftown, example: to the casino, evenif school is in session, we will makesure it is safe to go for the wholeday. If not, we will not go on thosetrips. If you are on the list you willbe notified. The only exception tothis is for important doctor orhospital visits such as dialysis.

Military FamilyThis is a veterans display our

residents Dick and Marion have ontheir wall of both families. The picturesgo back quite a few years and up tocurrent members in the military. Dickexplained who every person is andhow they are related. There are quite afew with Purple Hearts and he evenhas the original medal of a great uncleincluded with the picture. November11th is Veterans Day, so I thought thiswas a great month to show the timeand effort they put into this to honortheir military family.

Wii BowlingGood news! Starting in November

we will be having Wii bowling onWednesdays, as well as Tuesday, at10:30 in the Bistro. We will have theresidents who eat at 11:30 play onTuesday and the residents who eat at1pm play on Wednesday. This mayhave to be adjusted if we get moreresidents playing, but for now this willallow everybody more time to play.Please see Barb for questions orsuggestions.
