Happy Easter, Friends! We had an extra special visitor stop by at lunch today! Oh, the smiles and good fun a giant bunny can bring! We enjoyed a fantastic meal of Baked Ham and made sure the eggs we colored on Friday ended up all dressed up in the best (and only) way to eat a boiled egg! ❤️ Great holiday fun and even better memories together!

Brenda took the day off, so what are we to do?! We decided to try our hand at our own painting class today, led by our talented PTA, Chelsy Blind and her lovely assistants, Kim, Connie and Courtney! We were winging it from the get-go, but I must say, this fun afternoon led to the creation of some absolutely beautiful masterpieces! These ladies did an amazing job! Easter Blessings, everyone! He is Risen!

Lylas has started taking requests! Mak mentioned that his favorite song is "How Great Thou Art" so we found it in Lylas' music book and the moment just blossomed from there. Mak has a beautiful singing voice, shared at church and with family and friends alike for many, many years. By the end of the song, everyone who had started to trickle in for lunch had joined in singing along as well. What a moment of worship ❤️ "Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I will be with them."

Being under the weather on your birthday should never be allowed. Strict orders came through to the kitchen that Carol wanted NO SINGING! (Grumpy, eh?) We would be too if we had to cancel all our plans... But... We knew that what Carol really needed was for us to sing even louder. It was an immediate ornery smile when we all walked through the door for our Happy Birthday serenade, as we proved to Carol that we will always show up when our residents truly need us most! That cinammon roll must've chased away the germs because we are super happy to report that Carol quickly bounced back to her normal self! Happiest of 86th Birthdays, Carol! You are so special to us all!

Rise and Shine! We enjoyed the joyful noise of our dining room this morning as we hosted our Annual Family Breakfast! There is nothing better than seeing our families come together at our Home away from Home 🥰 Thank you to all of those who joined us this morning for good food, fellowship and even making some new friends! A Happy, Happy 85th Birthday also goes out to Ms. Mary today! We are so blessed to have you as part of our River Bend family and love that infectious, genuine (and a little ornery) smile!

We were too busy enjoying so I only caught a short glimpse, but we have some new musical talent at River Bend! Before Lylas moved in, family said they thought it had been at least 10 years since she sat at a piano to play. They weren't sure she could even read music any longer... Boy, has she proved us all wrong! That very first day and so many days since, she has sat down on her own accord in the afternoons and evenings and filled our common space with beautiful old hymns or whatever comes to mind in the moment! So grateful that she has given our well-loved, baby grand a new life and found even more purpose for herself!

Today is Mak's special day! We have truly enjoyed getting to know Mak these last few months. He has a beautiful heart and a singing voice to match! After his birthday song, he stood and shared how grateful he has been for the support of the staff and the other residents (his friends) since the recent passing of his wife. It touched all of our hearts and was a great reminder that we are all one big family ❤️ Happy 90th Birthday, Mak! We are blessed to celebrate life with you!

Wilma isn't quite yet in the "90's Club" but 89 years is still a big reason to celebrate! She was late to her own party, in true Wilma fashion, but the staff choir still did her proud with her Happy Birthday song and saved her a BIG piece of her requested Chocolate Cream Pie! Yum! Happiest of 89th Birthdays, Wilma! We are so glad to have you as part of our River Bend family!
