✨Candy-making magic!✨
Tommy and Helen spent the afternoon stirring, sampling, and smiling their way through a batch of Christmas candy. Nothing sweeter than holiday candy (except maybe these two 😄). ❤️🎄🍬

A Hundred Acres of Celebration
This afternoon, the Health Center was filled with joy as Karen Packard hosted a whimsical 100th birthday party for Winnie the Pooh and friends.

Karen was joined by her husband Gordon, who delighted the audience by narrating a story about Pooh and his companions. Adding to the fun, Karen's Beebe friends and another dear friend donned costumes, stepping right into the Hundred Acre Wood to act out the playful scenes alongside her.

The room echoed with laughter as Pooh and his friends' antics came to life, reminding everyone of the timeless charm of these beloved characters. The celebration was topped off with delicious cupcakes and a round of Winnie the Pooh trivia, which brought smiles and friendly competition to the crowd.

It was a truly memorable afternoon—proof that even after 100 years, Pooh and his friends continue to bring warmth, laughter, and community together.

✨ Throwback to 1951 ✨ The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade filled the streets with towering balloons, marching bands, and wide-eyed wonder. Kids lined the sidewalks, bundled in coats, gazing up at the giant characters floating above—pure magic in the crisp autumn air captured by a resident at the Mayflower.

A timeless tradition that reminds us: joy is best shared when the whole city comes together. 🦃🎶
