Thursday October 6, 2017

The morning began with funny religious stories and humorous one-liners.  They all liked the stories!  Since it was flu shot day this morning, we wanted to do something low key so we had a sing-a-long to a wide variety of music.  We began with a few hymns like, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “How Great Thou Art.”  Then we watched and sang along with the Andrews Sisters and Bing Crosby.  He really does have the best voice.  Everyone loved singing and listening to all that wonderful music and watching the video!  After that we watched some funny talking and dancing parrots.  It is amazing what they can do!
Thursday is the new BINGO day!  There was a nice big group that played today.  There were a few winners and everyone had a good time!  Music Safari was also this afternoon. Jennifer played all sorts of polka music.  Once the music began, our feet started tapping and our hands clapping.  Jennifer played “In Heaven There is No Beer” and everyone sang along to that one!  She then asked the residents if they like beer and one of the residents got excited and said, “I love beer!”  She also played “Roll Out the Barrel” and “Pennsylvania Polka.”  She read interesting trivia to go along with the music and they all reminisced about polka dancing.  Everybody loved it and had a fantastic time!
