We had our annual summer barbecue with 32 family members and other guests attending. The dietary department again did a great job, providing really terrific food. We had hot dogs, hamburgers and spare ribs cooked on our outdoor grill by our Administrator, Mark Nelson. In addition, we had baked beans, macaroni and cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, potato salad, potato chips, ambrosia, watermelon, strawberry short cake and chocolate cake. The food was absolutely yummy. Teense Willford sang and played for everyone along with Jack on the fiddle and Ray on the guitar.
Games throughout the week provided fun and laughter. On Sunday afternoon, five residents played Dominoes with Pat Rust winning. On Monday afternoon, five residents played Yahtzee with Dora Martin winning. On Tuesday morning, three residents played Dominoes with Marjery McAuley winning. On Wednesday afternoon, nine residents played Bingo, and on Friday afternoon, 13 residents played Bingo. Nadine Caleb, Truth Karstoft, and Charlotte Gibbons won Four Corners. Randy Cross won Blackouts. Our Bingo helpers were Lila Worden, Gloria Rakness, Dawna Erickson, Elder Penaranda and Elder Richins.
During the evenings, residents watched the commercial-free Turner Classic Movies. On Sunday morning, three residents watched the DVD movie, “Necessary Roughness”. On Tuesday afternoon, five residents watched the DVD movie, “Eight Below”.
For Lunch Out at the Saratoga Senior Center, four residents had pork roast on Monday, and five residents had chicken fried steak on Friday.
On Sunday afternoon, Sharon Hughes stood in for Pastor Arlen Hughes of the Abundant Life Fellowship and led our church service. Doris Davis played religious music on the keyboard.
On Wednesday morning, Linda Healy, Georgia Schroer, and Janice Kerpan gave Hair Care and Nail Care to 10 residents.
On Thursday morning, residents decorated our bulletin boards for August.
We want to thank the Platte Valley Christian Center for loaning us the tables and chairs for our barbecue.
