Hold on tight to summer

We try to keep busy and add new activities. To that end we are starting a computer club. Members of the club will collect ideas and suggestions for the blog posts. Julia will keep on snapping photos and residents have no shortage of funny comments to make on life in general and life in a nursing home.
They are very aware of the changing season with lower temperatures at night. OH suggest it's time for undershirts and whiskey to keep her warm. Only a few residents in the 70 to 80 year range are keen on the computer. Today we have Bonnie Stordy, Barbara McQuarrie, Beryl Best and Orla Hatch.

Villa Computer Club   
Next we will search for family and friends on Facebook and send out messages into the ether hoping for responses.

Also this week on Wednesday August 28 th we are hoping to have a miniature horse show. It's creating lots of buzz and horses big or small are of great interest to all residents. They lived with horses all their lives, used them as transportation and companionship. What is better in deep snow than a horse and wood  sleigh to pick you up at the local one room school and get you home safely?
And the horse would know that way home besides says BMQ.

More later.
