Lightly seasoned grilled chicken topped this fresh green salad full of delicious ingredients including mandarin orange slices, walnuts & shredded cheese. This less guilty option definitely made our residents more happy.

Some bunny has been busy decking the halls in our Magnolia Building. Easter bonnets off to resident Joanne W. for bringing the spirit of Spring & Easter with her festive seasonal decor. What a joyful greeting as you enter the residence. I think E.B. would definitely approve!

As they say, if you’re lucky enough to be Irish, you’re lucky enough.

Our St. Patrick’s Day Bash last week was just what we needed. Spring is in the air, the sun is lingering in the sky, the great defrost is well under way & we all took the opportunity to dance the night away.

After a hearty meal of traditional corned beef & cabbage, our very own Line Dancers set the mood with their choreographed routine to the tune of McNamara’s Band, our fave DJ, Nick, went up against one of our young guests in an Irish Step Dance-off & cake was served along with a signature cocktail, the Irish Kiss that blended Irish Cream with coffee liqueur, amaretto, vodka & milk.

Thanks to all who attended and to all who contributed to this magical night.

Residents were served up Cheeseburger Sliders this week. A ground beef patty prepared to order topped with cheddar, pickles & just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing on a bun x 2 made this entree an instant favorite. Serving the mini burgers alongside shoestring fries didn’t hurt either. Life is good at The Woods.

It looks as if some laughing leprechauns were let loose in our Locke Building recently. Residents are getting into the spirit brought on by this week’s celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.

Later today, we’ll hunt down the little rascals with a St. Pat’s Day scavenger hunt. Tuesday, Irish classic dishes all day then we’ll put down our shillelaghs, don some green & kick up our gold buckled shoes at our St. Patrick’s Day Bash!

What better way to celebrate Pi Day than with pies… Pizza pies, that is. Residents enjoyed fresh hot pizza in the Bistro on Friday in pre-celebration of the official Pi Day (Saturday, 3/14). A selection of pepperoni, peppers & onions and classic cheese satisfied our group’s appetite for the piping hot Italian favorite. Anyway you slice it, pizza always promotes a party.
