American River Care Home 2

Sometimes We make sushi! Vivian is an amazing cook, and she makes a beautiful sushi roll!

Keeping limber means keeping up appearances. Edith got a haircut, and never looses her good humor. Michi needs to focus on exercize to keep her legs strong.

Breakfast is important, and it’s a great reason to convince us to get up in the morning! Vivian’s homemade zucchini muffins, scrambled eggs, fruit cup.

When people send letters, we do our best to respond so that we get more letters. Here Edith is reading a beautiful note from Sharon:)

The mornings are just perfect!!

Exercize is important, but Edith gets away with a lot!!

A fun little table game we discovered!

I couldn’t get the sound to work on this video, but we are all moving very well....except Edith wanted just to watch today

Even though gardening isn’t always possible like it used to be, going outside and interacting with the outdoors in our backyard is good for the body and mind. This weather is so perfect!

When we all get together at the table and do some arts (today it’s therapeutic coloring) it’s also a good time to build friendships through helping each other.

I didn’t realize the video didn’t post the first time, here it is again Doing little tasks around the house can be fun, and is definitely good for the mind. Here Mary and Kay are getting the pits out of some cherries. Folding laundry is also popular.

We received a small set of handbooks about meditation in the mail, and we though we would spend a little time group reading about mindfulness. We took turns reading aloud while everyone else followed along. Then we had a little conversation about what the words meant.
