We got straight to work this morning with our Turtle Mosaic Project. The turtles are looking spectacular and the residents and truly enjoying making them! The project is perfect for many different abilities and provide everyone the opportunity to work together and at their own pace. They should be ready in about a month, then when the ground thaws, we will be permanently placing them in our Willows garden for all to be enjoyed!
The second half of our day included a visit from Jim Roth, one of our favorite musicians that plays exclusively in The Willows- just for us. He is wonderful to take all of our requests and one resident had a unique Polka request, the “She’s Too Fat For Me” Polka! As funny as the name sounds- almost everyone knew the words and we laughed while we sang! After our musical entertainment, we didn’t want the fun to end- so I started up the musical, “Hello Dolly”! We greatly enjoyed singing along with Barbara Streisand, even if she was only on the TV.
Happy day! Melissa
