Celebrating piano month, Shirley chose “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” As a three-year-old, Shirley would play piano at a small country church where her dad was pastoring. She would play every day and soon her dad discovered, she was playing with two hands. Shirley has loved playing for 82 years. Beautiful! Miss Shirley! Thank you!

Once we start to see fall foliage, evening sweaters, and our favorite pumpkin-spiced products back on the shelves, it can only mean one thing: flu season is just around the corner. Getting vaccinated before flu season is in full force gives your body a chance to build up immunity to the virus, and helps stop the spread before it starts. Read this post to get more insight as to why you need to get the flu shot as soon as possible.

No smashing pumpkins just fabulous fun during Halloween carnival. Played the candy corn guessing game, costume contest along with parade with six-year-old Ronan as grand marshal, photo prop, a variety of sweets, cotton candy, popcorn. Candy Corn guessing game winners were Richard and Jan. Costume contest winners were Susiie dressed as Cat in the Hat and Brad dressed as the Tin Man. Making memories!!
So, you have decided that now is the time to sell your home and move to a retirement community. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. Take it slow. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was your home. Expect this process to take a while, and do not rush it.
2. Do not be afraid to ask for help! Your friends and family are likely more than willing to help you, and you can hire professional help as well. Our community also offers an Easy Move Program that will help you or a loved one move to our facility. Reach out to us today to learn more.
3. When deciding to donate or sell your furniture, consider having the organization or buyer move the furniture for you. This will save both your back and your time since you will not have to move the furniture yourself.
You can do this! Reach out to us if we can help you in any way!
