Many of the residents in our community have vivid memories of Pearl Harbor Day, the day when the United States entered World War II. The months that followed were full of uncertainty. Today, we remember those who fought, as well as the families who stayed and supported their loved ones from home. #PearlHarborDay #Veteran
It's the shortest day of the year! We hope you've been able to make some great memories on this short day. #WinterSolstice

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

Lead the Way! Getting the COVID-19 vaccine adds one more layer of protection for you, our employees, other residents, and family. In the coming weeks, we will be partnering with Walgreens to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to our residents and staff members. If you have questions regarding the vaccinations or our upcoming clinics, please call our Community directly.
From the CDC: None of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in development in the United States uses the live virus that causes COVID-19. You may have symptoms like a fever after you get a vaccine. This is normal and a sign that your immune system is learning how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19.

Diving Into The Decades: 1900-1909
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.
We hope you enjoyed this unique recipe! Stay tuned to learn more about the decades! #DivingIntoTheDecades

If you're thinking 'This must have been in the early 1900s!' Then you're absolutely correct! 2021 is our year of the decades! Starting this month with 1900-1909, we've been focusing on learning all about what life was like. Our residents have been enjoying the tastes, sounds, and sights of the early 1900s and can't wait to see what comes next. #DivingIntoTheDecades

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
A little history of the 1900s - the fashion, the world of fun advertisements, and so much more! We had a small museum, we watched documentaries, we learn the steps of foxtrot Dance, and enjoyed a themed dinner. it has been a fantastic start to our decade's program! #DivingIntoTheDecades
We had a great turnout from residents and staff for the first round of the Covid-19 Vaccine! #StickItToCovid

Diving Into The Decades
Residents are excited to be "Diving into the Decades" with us! From that 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

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

Governor Abbott’s Announcement:
We are aware of Governor Abbott’s Executive Order GA-34 that ends the statewide mask mandates and allows all businesses to open to 100%. Also, in the order it states that “Businesses may still limit capacity or implement additional safety protocols at their discretion.” Aside from this new order, Assisted Living and Long-Term Care Communities in Texas are regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and must also follow County orders that may be more stringent than those of HHSC. At this time HHSC has not released any updated guidance regarding changes in the current COVID-19 response requirements and regulations in licensed Assisted Living and Long-Term Care Communities. Therefore, we are required to continue to follow the regulations set forth by HHSC and will continue to communicate with the agency regularly and update residents, families, and staff members with any change in the regulation and Community protocols.

The Roaring Twenties were a golden era of fashion. WWI left women desiring a simple, comfortable lifestyle and a fashion style that reflected the new modern age, where young women outnumbered the older Edwardian generation. 1920s fashion was made by the young and free-spirited youth who discarded their corsets and showed off their jazz dancing legs. This was also the era that brought about the “flappers.” This month, our residents will learn about the fashion, food, and famous faces of the 1920s! #DivingIntoTheDecades

In the 1920s almost everybody danced, and because everyone was dancing, they needed a dance that almost anyone could do. Thus was created the Fox Trot. It's basically walking but can be done at all different tempos! Do you know the Fox Trot?
