Land O' Lakes seniors "rock" at Pine Meadow

Rev. Jean Brown | Oct 29, 2015

Land O' Lakes Seniors rocked on at Pine Meadow Nursing Home just prior to Thanksgiving when they visited our friends and group members there, were welcomed by Barb Ellsworth, activity director and pastoral leader, and also shared some snacks and stories. Our Pine Meadow folks have been busy of late- enjoying Tai Chi, a visit to Miles Farm for a tractor and wagon ride, and of course their annual fall fair was over the top in fun. It featured balloon darts, bobbing for apples, judging of the staff's homemade pickles, snacks of popcorn, and apple slices dipped in caramel sauce. The Pine Meadow fantastic Kitchen Club have their baking supply cupboard all stocked up and ready to go thanks to generous donors, so the club will continue to bake their wonderful homemade treats based on their recipes and memories of years past.

The residents travelled down Memory Lane when they visited the homestead of Andy Armstrong in Plevna where Andy's niece and nephew offered tours and sharing of history. They also enjoyed a picnic lunch at Armstrong Lake where folks had a fun time. As well the residents went to Wheelers Pancake House for a super yummy treat and visit there. So, that's just a partial sharing of one month's activities, but other monthly happenings include weekly worship services, musical groups, exercises, singing, baking and so much more. We are so fortunate to have such a fantastic facility right in our area.
