Today I surprised them with a "special" round of Bingo today for Real money! 💲

On a "Thats for me to know and you to find out" basis of what theyd win!! 😂
For those patient enough to wait until the end, sitting in suspense of their prize!
After the full regular hour of

The $40 cash winner was Peggy 👏

Any preachers who step into Twelve Oaks regularly to preach for our residents, please see our Prayer Request Board weve worked hard putting together!! 🙏🏼

Located right before you walk into the AL Activities room ✨️

Some people may not be confident to speak up or speak face to face with their troubles or prayers.

We came together to make this for those who want a confident prayer for the preacher alone to see and pray for them or a loved one 🙏🏼

Did you know today is Draw a Bird Day?! 🐦

Take a moment, sit down and scribble a bird the best you can,
Color it, give it a name!
& maybe apologize to your 1st grade art teacher 😜
We had so much fun, cutting up about each others art, chatting and making art 🎨

Art is anything you splatter on the canvas/paper! No single piece of art is perfect! Its all perfectly Imperfect!!

They all did amazing!! 👏

I wanted to share this beautiful moment captured at sunrise.

There is a quiet dignity in the way hands remember their craft.

A former pianist’s fingers may still dance across a tabletop, or a carpenter might instinctively run their thumb over the grain of a piece of wood to check its smoothness, with a gleam in their eye of remembrance and happiness.

Walking into moments like these "remembered things" are reminders that identity is deeper than intellect.
The young person we once were is still inside of us even as we age, existing in a world of pure emotion and present-moment connection.

One of many reasons heathcare workers love their job, Is that the residents teach us to stop living in the past or the future and to simply sit with them in the beauty of the now.

All the meanwhile we are blessed to say the least, to get to enjoy their beautiful music floating down the halls 🥰
