ESTEVAN — Welcome to a glimpse of what is happening in our home here at Hillview Manor.
We held a Mother's Day tea on May 12 for our wonderful ladies. We had requested a letter from each family telling us what they thought was special about their mom. Every family sent us something.
We read the letters from each family member to their mother. The write-ups were then given to the moms as special keepsakes. They were very appreciative of the gifts. Reading all the letters was very touching and definitely brought a tear to our eyes.
A beautiful thank you to the families for doing this. You made Mother's Day a very special occasion with a sentimental journey for the moms.
Also, thank you to the community group that delivered roses to our home on the Friday before Mother's Day. It was greatly appreciated.
The gardens are being planted and the flowers will be in the flower boxes, adding beautiful colours to our yard.
Other activities for the month were daily Bingo, exercises three to four times per week to help us stay fit, card games, movies, crokinole, bowling, bean bag toss, Yahtzee and shuffleboard. Shared Read is a group activity we do a couple of times a week for anyone who might be visually impaired or maybe just wants to listen to the short stories that are read.
The last Friday of the month was loonie Bingo, followed by wine and cheese or fruit juice for anyone not wanting wine.
Outings this month were to Walmart and Blackbeard's for lunch.
We had three birthdays in May: Pat P. turned 91, Clara C. is 90 and Theresa D. marked her 94th birthday. Happy birthday to all.
Entertainment this month included the Caragana Ramblers, Laurie Fornwald, Susan Shepard, Wilma and Val, and Keith and Gary.
