Every year, on September 25, comic book enthusiasts celebrate National Comic Book Day. We celebrated in our own way during Happy Hour!
A nice breeze and a beautiful melody!
Penny, our hairstylist, was in this week for appointments. Carol looked so beautiful. We had to snap a photo of Ms. Hollywood!
It was a beautiful night for an outdoor movie. Did you know that Barrington of Oakley is on the site of the old Oakley Drive-in? The drive-in opened in the fall of 1956, and the first movie shown was Alfred Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much," according to Cinema Treasures.
We had a faBOOlous time at the Boil, Boil, Toil, and Trouble Happy Hour!
It's Penny Auction time again! As a treat, Amy served up her homemade cinnamon and sugar donuts.
Our residents got a jump start on their door hangers for November!
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Online Holiday Cooking Demonstration With Rachel Wohlfrom
We appreciate the support of residents, their families and our staff in adapting to the rigorous sanitization routines that make all of us as safe as possible. Who’s keeping you safe? Tell us about them in the comments.
The warmth of fall is here! Guess how many pumpkins are in our lobby?
We enjoyed Punzy Bingo and Groundhog Donuts yesterday!
We are getting Valentine ready with our heart door hangers.
In honor of Groundhog Day yesterday, we present to you the Shadow Guess Game. Can you identify any of the shadows? We will give you a hint! They are all staff members.
Our residents sure do know how to make the staff feel special! They handed out the Appreciation Fund gifts to all 98 of our employees. The staff is very thankful for the kind and generous gifts.
Our residents learned all about the dessert, Baked Alaska, at Amy's cooking demo.
A fun bit of trivia, "The name 'Baked Alaska' was supposedly coined at Antoine's, a restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana by its chef de cuisine Antoine Alciatore in 1867 to honor the acquisition by the United States of Alaska from the Russian Empire."
We love when our residents and staff dress in theme. Here's Sharon and Jenn (from Activities) at our Flannel and Flapjacks breakfast hosted by the Activities team!
