Resident Corner
This poem was written by Unit 11-2’s very own CE for a talent show in the Auditorium. CE has been known for her beautiful stories and writings on the unit and was able to showcase her talent to a bigger crowd. She took the time to speak about the Recreation Department and all the available opportunities waiting for her in the dayroom. CE has always been heartfelt and genuine about how she felt, and she wanted to express her gratitude through her artistic writing skills. Home Away from Home Poem by C.E. from Unit 11-2
After you make jokes and laugh. The ladies in the dayroom make nice recipes What a treat we all can eat. On Thursdays there is painting. I just forget to say There is exercise every day. The aides and nurses are there To take good care. On Fridays is Bingo again. Then Saturday and Sunday, you rest And you can then think of the best What a wonderful week God blessed. You really read the book page by page, New Bridge, home for the aged.
New Bridge, home for the aged Is like a book you read page by page. There is everything there is to be done You just have to be willing to have fun. On Monday afternoon, you play Bingo And you can really bet There are beautiful prizes to get. On Tuesdays is greenhouse class, You plant seeds even in a glass. Oh, what a joy to see them grow Looking lovely all in a row.
On Wednesday afternoon is mass in the chapel, After is the cooking class making pies with apples. There are also arts and crafts.
Summer Craft: Breezy Pineapple By Arts and Crafts Club
Anyone who has not gone to Hawaii should visit - It is the home of juicy and exceptional quality pineapples! The Arts And Crafts Club gathered to make paper pineapple crafts to feel this summer refreshing. By using a pipe cleaner as a straw, colored cotton balls, glitter, stickers, glue, and construction paper, we made colorful pineapples in green, orange, and yellow. M.T., J.M., R.P., M.M., K.B., and E.S. all participated and enjoyed summertime fun making bright and tasty pineapple refreshments. M.M. says he made his pineapple” money” color by using green paper and green decorations. The participants enjoyed making their arts and crafts while listening to some pineapple and summer-themed music, like “Escape” by Rupert Holmes, which set the cheerful atmosphere.
