Who doesn’t love a warm drink on a cold day? ☕✨ We explored spices by tasting, smelling, and blending a fragrant mix of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and star anise.

The result? A delicious pot of fresh chai, sipped from special china cups alongside tasty ginger cookies. A perfect way to warm up and celebrate Longevity Day together!

It was a fun day of spices and sensory exploration! 🌿✨

In the afternoon, we welcomed our friend Tobin, a local sound healer, who shared the soothing power of singing bowls. The deep vibrations were not only heard but felt, each bowl focusing on different parts of the body. It was such a relaxing and unique experience that we’ve decided to make it a monthly session!

What a wonderful way to learn, explore, and unwind together.

Have you heard of Kokedama? It’s the Japanese art of growing plants in moss-covered balls of soil, perfect for displaying on a surface or hanging in a window.

This week, our Tai Chi teacher, Jeff, brought the magic of Kokedama to us! He shared plants, dirt, moss, and the process of creating these unique mud balls. The refreshing smell of moss and the joy of working with dirt brought back memories of making mud pies.

What a fun and messy way to spend a frosty January day—thanks, Jeff, for such a unique experience! 🌱✨

Every month, we hop on the bus and head to All Kids Win, just down the road. We set up, roll up our sleeves, and get to work packing applesauce bags—two cups in each. These bags become part of food packages that help children in our area who are food insecure.

Being part of such an important organization makes us proud, knowing our efforts are helping kids in need. Thank you to these incredible ladies for doing the good work! ❤️✨

Party animals ringing in the New Year! 🎉✨ It was a wild night filled with music, dancing, friends, and delicious desserts as we shared well wishes for the future and enjoyed the company of loved ones.

Our musical guests, Prairie Fire, were fantastic, the food was amazing, and the energy was unmatched—so much fun and cheer all around.

Last year, we created a special memory making latkes with our residents and enjoying them together—some for the very first time. This year, Raphael reminded us of that moment, and we decided it should become an annual Hanukkah tradition! 🕎✨

Using a family recipe, we whipped up easy and delicious latkes, drawing a wonderful crowd to taste, socialize, and celebrate. Raphael also shared his Menorah, books, and dreidels, and we even tried a game—spinning dreidels is more fun than we expected! Happy Hanukkah to all!
