Hot coffee, warm cranberry orange muffins, and iPad good news on a cold fall day. Just sit back and relax and enjoy the morning.
Judith and her family delivered pizza and dessert to the staff. As you can see our staff was happy. They could not wait to dive into the pizza and brownies. Everyone had smiles on their faces. Thank you to Judith and her family.

JoAnne had a window visit from her grand daughter and great grand daughter today. They are traveling from Austin and stopped for a visit on the way to Colorado. So glad we were able to help JoAnne to see her family. Window visits are wonderful.
This is Karlos, our chef at Brookdale Farmers Branch. Karlos is conducting a "Menu Chat" with the residents. This is a monthly meeting, where he encourages all residents to give him positive or negative feedback on the meals. The residents are encouraged to bring their favorite recipe so that everyone can enjoy it. Karlos and the residents like to share stories of their favorite dishes. Thank you, Karlos for taking good care of our residents.
We are so excited to announce that our Beauty Shop has reopened. Oppie was so excited to see the residents. The residents could not wait for their appointment time to come, so they could chat. Lots of wonderful haircuts, trims, and special attention. Happiness all around.
Veterans Day 2020. We honored our veterans with a small ceremony and told them "thank you" for what they did for our country and for the freedom that they gave us. We honored the wives that raised the family, took care of the bills, and kept everything going while our men went to war. We talked about our brothers, sisters, friends, and parents that were in the war too. Everyone received a flag pin. It was a wonderful ceremony.
Halloween 2020 was different. We had residents and employees dressed in costumes. Everyone paraded their outfit during lunch, then we voted. We had wonderful food and treats from our kitchen. It was a Spooktacular success.
Getting ready for Halloween. Can you guess what we are going to be? Can't wait to show you the pictures from Halloween. Check back soon to see all the fun we had. Stay safe and socially distance.
Happy January Birthday to Harold L. and Frances J. Both residents celebrating their wonderful 90s. We hope you had an amazing birthday.

It's Polar Express Day. We had fun drinking hot cocoa & cider, snacking on cookies & popcorn, and watching The Polar Express movie. A wonderful relaxing holiday afternoon.
