Our resident woodcarvers never cease to amaze us with boundless talents in turning a block of Tupelo wood into detailed, to scale wildlife, birds and other objects. Their recent shows in both clubhouses are testament to the teachings of their instructor and master carver Richard Snyder, and also the inspiration that just comes with the neighborhood. Really impressive work everyone!

If you haven’t caught the “Pencil Artists Among Us” exhibit in the Shannondell Art Gallery, it’s a must-see before the show closes on December 4th. Pencil art always amazes us ... the detail, the realism, and in our show’s case, the amount of resident talent that resides within our community. Many thanks to artists Joe Dittmar, Greg Gaul, Jim McKeon and Eleanor Ott ... inspiring work, all!

Marines at Shannondell enjoyed gathering to celebrate the USMC 250th Birthday yesterday. The empty seat at the head of the table honors all those who didn’t come home. We’re grateful to all of our resident armed forces veterans for their service on this special day. Thank you for defending our freedom!

Boo! Who? It was, indeed, a haunting happy hour and costume parade last week in both clubhouse living rooms. With witches and vampires, ghosts, scary clowns, superman and wonder woman, emojis galore, card sharks, cowboys and aliens, and our own snow globes from around the world ... what a fun way to end the week/month and celebrate a holiday that everyone claims is for the kids, but we all know better!

Playing to a full house in the Shannondell Performing Arts Theater earlier this week, our “Three Tenors” – Samuel Schlievert, Jim Schubin and Daniel Taylor – brought the house down, once again. Performing a mix of opera arias, Irish songs and Broadway classics, the three – as soloists, duos and a trio – proved why they remain one of our most popular shows. Many thanks to these very talented gents!

Enjoying an “all-aboard” Epicurean outing to the historic Delaware River waterfront in Philly, these residents had much to smile about. Starting with lunch on the Moshulu, next stop was Shane’s Confectionary followed by, what else, 2 scoops of their favorite flavor at Franklin’s Fountain to end the day. And a “full” day it was!

It was a picture-perfect October day for a “purple parade” of residents and staff as we put one foot in the front of the other to support our local Alzheimer’s association chapter with the annual Shannondell Memory Walk . Many thanks to all of you who helped us plan for, stage, walk and raise more than $15,000 this year!

If you ask these residents, it’s always high time for High Tea at “The Painted Tea Cup” in nearby Upper Darby. Raising their own cups of “a proper brew” in a toast to this recent day trip, our group also enjoyed scrumptious scones, tea sandwiches and a petite dessert (or two). “Tea makes everything better.” – Bindi Irwin

“Fall Cocktails” – two words made for each other as a select group of residents will attest to who attended last week’s first seasonal Epicurean event in the Ashcroft clubroom. Mixtures tipped up include a tasty Pear, Ginger & Vanilla Crush, a lively Cranberry Blitz, a Pumpkin Spice (you knew it was coming) Sangria, and last but not least, a Cherry Bourbon Bomb! The winner ... the Cranberry Blitz by a nose, it seems. If you missed the event, don’t worry, both clubhouse bars will be rotating the selections into our weekly drink specials all month. Try one and chime in on which gets your vote!
