Nothing Clears Covid Cobwebs faster than a Dance!
September 22nd was the First Day of Fall and it was a lovely day to spend time in the courtyard with entertainment by our friend Preston Frazier. Preston 🎹 Popcorn 🍿 Soda 🥤 and a cool crisp in the air, put them together and you have a perfect day! 🍁 🍂 🎵
I received a note this morning to come and see something in a residents room. What a beautiful treasure of Fall did I find. Thank you Ann Ball for your magnificent work of art! And just in time for the 1st day of Fall tomorrow September 21st. 🍂
Remember how excited you would get when you saw the ice cream truck coming? 🤗
“I know who’s driving it!” She knew who before she saw who. 😊
You know it’s a great day when the Ice Cream Truck comes by your house! Yum! 🍦 ☀️ 🚗
It was a beautiful Fall day for the bus excursion to end up at the Fountain downtown for Lunch on the Square. The City of Montgomery set up tables around the fountain. All the tables were socially distanced one from another. The residents enjoyed the wonderful sunshine and fresh air. It was an exciting excursion especially with the side trip to the drive up window at Kentucky Fried Chicken.🍗 🍁 ⛲️
Oh what fun we had today with CrAzY sOcK dAy! 🧦
March 3, 2010 this young lady came to live with us here at Wesley Gardens. Never would I imagine the impact she would have. Today, Mrs. E.A Thompson passed from this world. She leaves behind so so many wonderful, happy and interesting memories. 98 years of a life well lived. If there was ever a resident who benefited from our mission, it was Mrs. Thompson. We celebrated her life and shared the touch of God’s Love that is ever-present and ageless. She will be greatly missed.
Does anyone need a Hug? 💕 🤗 A huge thanks to Michael Hagen and the Redland Hills Church for making this “Hug Curtain” for us to use during family visits. It helped us safely bring this greatly missed special dimension to our family visits today. 😊 💜
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood (GMC) as part of their Building Communities Day put together goody bags featuring warm whimsical socks 🧦 for our residents. The two Mary’s were excited to receive the wagon full of gifts on behalf of the residents. (Plus they got first pick of the socks) Thank you to Becky Harris for coordinating this special project for us. You guys definitely know how to “warm our soles!” 😊
These two make the best team. I’m not sure which one is more “persnickety.” Happy Moments, Fun Times! 🎄
When a new resident moves in during a pandemic they must isolate in their room for 14 days and not come out around other residents. So when their birthday falls on their 12th day of isolation, you come up with an alternate plan, gather a few friends and take the party to them. (safely distanced in the hallway.)

Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Yes, we need a little Christmas Now!🎄
Thank goodness for Faye. She has a way of lifting our Spirits in a hurry! 😇
Thank You to all of our Veterans. As has been our tradition for many years, Col. Bill Allison conducted a Veterans Day Ceremony for us. This year on this beautiful Fall Day, we met outdoor by the Fountain. It was such an honor and privilege to celebrate the men and women who bravely served defending our Freedom. 🇺🇸
Wow! What a day it has been. We had large fun with Bernie Sanders!!! 🤪 He seems to be EVERYWHERE!!
A tremendous thank you to MiShawna Dinkins with CVS Health for keeping our Vaccine Clinic on task and running so smoothly. Also, we could not have done it without Bill Boland reminding everyone to STAY IN YOUR ROOM until there is a knock on their door letting them know it’s time to come get the shot.
Today was an exciting day at Wesley Gardens. All of our Residents and Associates were given opportunity for the Covid Vaccination. Excitement was in the air! Thank you to the amazing team from CVS/Omnicare Pharmacy. You guys turned our fear into power. Everyone did something powerful today. We were all essential in the fight against Covid. 𝗩𝗮𝘅𝘅𝗡𝗼𝘄.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Stopping COVID Starts with You!
Guess our “New Residents” don’t know the importance of wearing the mask. 😷 Everybody meet “Billinda” Boland!
Happy New Year 🎆 2021 is going to be a great year!!
I had to search deep to find this post. This is Ms Mary Dowdy in her true spunky form. We are sure going to miss her spunky life moments.

Nothing like "Dancing into the Dinning Room!"
