The residents created mini pizzas with biscuits, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. They enjoyed their creations for lunch and shared them with others. They really enjoy this fun activity, especially getting to eat it! They are making plans for the next cooking class! Pumkin spice monkey bread!

Many thanks to Linda Parker!
Linda recently lost her husband, Rickey James Parker. He was a resident at Catawba Valley Living for nine years to the day. Linda was here every day, all day, spending time with her husband. In all these years, she has become part of the family here. In appreciation of us taking care of her husband, she provided lunch for all the staff. We truly will miss Rickey, and it was an honor taking care of him.
Thank you, Linda, for your thoughtfulness.

The staff and resident costume judging contest was a hit!! We had a nun, Popeye, Ozzy Osbourne, Flacker Girl, and a prissy lady in the house! They all were winners!
Our 50/50 raffle draw winner was Renee from Center Well! Congratulations to Renee! She blessed the activity department by donating her winnings back to us!❤️
We all enjoyed lots of good ghoulish food, Halloween punch, and spooky music. Residents, staff, and family members had a witching good time!

Halloween Games at Catawba Valley Living
We played a "Blow and Suck" game with the Reese's Peanut Butter cereal using a straw, "Chopstick Cereal Pick Up", "Pass the Box of Balls Back" and finally "Candy Corn Bingo". We had to keep reminding the residents not to eat their candy corn until the game was over, but some just could not resist that sweet candy corn!😁
What fun and laughter and we even worked in some therapy sessions in our days of games!
