From the CDC: Your best protection from COVID-19 will be a combination of getting a COVID-19 vaccine, wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet away from others, avoiding crowds, and washing your hands often. No one tool alone is going to stop the pandemic. Learn about the Benefits of COVID-19 Vaccination: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html

All right cooking fans, this week we have a particularly unique recipe for you to try that was very popular in 1900, the Orange Omelet. The recipe we are sharing is from the Boston Cooking-School Cookbook 1900 edition.
3 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
Few grains salt
2 oranges
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 tablespoon butter for cooking
Beat 3 eggs, until thick and lemon colored. Add in lemon, orange juice, and salt. Cook like you would a traditional omelet.
Remove skin from oranges and cut in slices, lengthwise. Fold in one-third of the slices of orange, well sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Garnish with remaining orange slices and dust it with powdered sugar.

Picture this - 1904 a new game hits the market. Parents and kids head to the local mercantile to pick up The Landlords Game. 117 years pass and this game is still number one on the list of most popular board games of all time.
Surprised that you haven't heard of it? You may know it by its later name: Monopoly! That's right, this super popular game had its humble beginnings as "The Landlords Game" and wasn't rebranded as Monopoly until 1933. Don't you just love history?! #DivingIntoTheDecades

Miracle Moment Alert! Sarah, one of the residents in The Cottage at The Springs of Parc Hill Senior Living has loved doing jigsaw puzzles for many years. It was only fitting to create her little miracle moment around her passion for puzzles.
A few weeks ago, the memory care coordinator ordered a personal portrait puzzle for her to put together.
As she started matching puzzle pieces together she started to realize that the picture looked familiar! At the end, she was so excited and surprised she teared up! Such a sweet moment for a super sweet lady. #MyMiracleMoment

Diving Into The Decades
Residents in our communities are excited to be "Diving into the Decades" with us! From each decade, we are trying foods, studying fashion, and learning all about the world events that happened through those 30 years! Stay tuned for photos, videos, and stories!
Diving Into The Decades: 1910-1919
This month we are learning about a decade that is largely defined by the first world war. Despite the incomprehensible devastation of this era, it did bring about some technological advances, new fashions, and food staples that we see today!
If you were thrown back in time to 1914, you would likely still see more trolleys and horse-drawn carriages on the streets than any other type of vehicle. Children would be enjoying Oreo Cookies, Sherbert, and Wrigley's Doublemint Gum for the first time. Adults would be tapping their toes to the beat of Jazz and watching movies that were filmed in what is now Hollywood.
Once the war started, families were disrupted as fathers were drafted, women went to work in factories, and the older children took care of household chores. The changes it brought about in every aspect of life won this decade the name of The Progressive Era. Quite fitting, don't you think? #DivingIntoTheDecades
When you see Mrs. Esther you wouldn't think she is a centenarian, but we are proud to announce that she just celebrated her 100th birthday at Arabella of Longview Independent Living!

The local newspaper featured her picture in the paper, and yard art displayed a very nice sign in the courtyard and the front entrance of the campus. Such an amazing day for an amazing lady! #CelebrateLife #100NeverLookedSoGood

Diving Into The Decades: 1910-1919
Johnny Gruelle wrote the book Raggedy Ann for his daughter, Marcella, in 1918. The story goes that Marcella brought her dad an old rag doll and he drew a face on it for her, and thus was born "Raggedy Ann."
The original rag doll is now worth over $1,000. Over time, her looks changed and by 1960, Raggedy Ann had red hair, a flowered dress, and a white apron. Quite different than her humble beginnings, but cute none the less. #DivingIntoTheDecades

My Miracle Moment: The Hamptons Senior Living celebrated a pretty special birthday last week! Coye turned 99-years-young and had a special party with her Hamptons Family. She was gifted flowers, 99 birthday cards, and lots of Happy Birthday wishes from everyone!
Her family sent videos and photos and Sara, The Hamptons Activity Director, made her a slideshow of birthday wishes from all the people who love her! We told her we can't wait to do this again next March! She told me she didn't feel old at all and this party made her feel so great! The CEO of Civitas Senior Living, Wayne Powell, even came out to celebrate with her.
We're so glad that we could celebrate this amazing woman and honor her on her 99th Birthday. #HappyAtTheHamptons #99NeverLookedSoGood #MiracleMoment #CelebrateLife #TylerTexas
Independent Living Residents had a roaring good time at the 1920s Themed Luncheon!
Residents enjoyed a 1920s themed cuisine while the jazz duo played soft music in the background. The food and beverage team did a great job preparing the meal!
After lunch, residents had fun taking photos at the photo booth.
So glad everyone is enjoying their travels through the decades! #DivingIntoTheDecades
