🎩 Halloween Week Magic & Laughter! 🎩✨

Our residents were treated to something truly magical this Halloween week as magician C TOPHER Younggren brought his one-of-a-kind blend of fun, comedy, laughter, and wonder to our community! 🎃🪄

From jaw-dropping illusions to side-splitting laughs, his show had everyone smiling, gasping, and asking, “How did he do that?!” 👏

It was a delightful deviation from our usual routine — proof that you’re never too old to feel the awe and joy of a little magic! 💫

🎃 Tricks, Treats, and Timeless Fun! 👻

This week, our community came alive for an early Halloween celebration with laughter, games, and the sweet spirit of sharing! We were thrilled to welcome a local Girl Scout troop for a festive trick-or-treat outing filled with lawn games, smiles, and intergenerational fun.

Moments like these remind us that healthy aging isn’t just about staying active—it’s about staying connected. Watching our residents and the Girl Scouts share stories, candy, and joy was the perfect treat for all! 🍬💛

Here’s to community, friendship, and keeping the Halloween spirit young at heart—no matter your age! 🕸️🎃

🎃 Pumpkin Painting Fun at The Hacienda at the River🎨

Our residents got into the fall spirit recently with a festive pumpkin painting and decorating day! The room was filled with laughter, creativity, and the cozy scent of autumn as everyone shared stories, swapped ideas, and helped one another bring their pumpkins to life.

From elegant designs to playful faces, each pumpkin became a reflection of its artist — a celebration of personal expression and shared cultural memories. It was heartwarming to see neighbors encouraging each other, reminiscing about past Halloweens, and discovering new ways to express themselves together. 🍁

Events like these remind us that creativity knows no age — and community is made even richer when we create, connect, and celebrate side by side. ❤️

🌵 A Touch of Desert Beauty at Hacienda at the River 🌸

We recently enjoyed a unique hands-on experience led by Heather Schmidt of Industrious Renegade Design Group, creating stunning succulent arrangements that captured the colors and calm of the desert. 🌿✨

The workshop was a peaceful, creative journey—filled with laughter, sharing, and the joy of bringing something beautiful to life. The results were as vibrant and unique as our residents themselves, and they couldn’t wait to display their living works of art! 💚

Here at Hacienda at the River, we celebrate Active Aging Week all year long! 💪😄

Our residents make it their mission to keep moving, stay strong, and keep feeling amazing in their bodies. From lifting weights to laughing through the “good kind” of sore muscles, we know that strength training means more than just building muscle — it’s about boosting balance, confidence, bone health, energy, and mood!

And the best part? We get to do it together. The friendships, the laughter, the shared goals — that’s what keeps us coming back for more.

Here’s to staying strong, learning new things, and proving that aging actively means living fully — with a smile on our faces every step (and squat!) of the way! 😃✨

We visited the The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures for the limited engagement Ray Harryhausen exhibit—a celebration of cinematic imagination in its most detailed form—along with the dizzying array of other miniature worlds that fill the museum’s halls. Our wonderful docent, Rochelle, shared her deep knowledge and sharp eye for detail, helping us notice the tiny touches of artistry we might have otherwise missed.

For some, it was a return to a beloved place of wonder; for others, it was their very first glimpse into this world of whimsy and craftsmanship. Each person found their own spark—whether in the movie magic of Harryhausen’s creatures or the delicate charm of a tiny tea set—and yet, together, we shared a sense of awe that connected us all. It was a reminder that while our interests may be as varied as the exhibits themselves, the joy of discovery binds us as a community. We left enchanted, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit.

🌥️ In today’s Nature Invitation, we began with a gentle meditation beneath an overcast sky. With pen and paper, Garden members reflected in their own way — through words, drawing, or both — following what naturally called their attention.

In our sharing, we spoke not only of what drew us in, but why — the subtle pull of birdsong, the texture of leaves, the calm of soft light filtering through the clouds. Each reflection became its own window into how we connect with the natural world. 🍃✍️✨

Engaging with poetry encourages a slower, more reflective pace and can improve mental agility, concentration and communication skills. Today via our poetry and storytelling expert Laila, our residents were able to receive some of those benefits. What ensued was a peaceful and magical time for all💫
