BLOSSOM CITY BLOG



Last week we celebrated five birthdays with our piano entertainer, Bob Tyler. Happy Birthday to Erlean Mahan, Micki Wagner, Doris Cobb, Eva Featherston and Veronica Kaiser! Their large birthday cake was shared and enjoyed by all at dinner.

A HAWAIIAN LUAU on Saturday afternoon and evening put on by the staff of Garden Place, Red Bud, IL was enjoyed by nearly 100 guests and residents. This year it was special in that it's the 50th anniversary of Hawaii's Statehood! The party was filled with fun and games for all along with good Hawaiian food, drinks and decorations. Our manager, Marilyn Raban, brought a "TIKI MAN" that she hand painted -but he did not have a name! A contest was started to find a suitable name -and the winner was Eyvonne Zipfel, who called him "Ashman". The next time you're here you'll find him at the Salad Bar guarding the Soup Kettle.

This weeks highlights begin on Wednesday evening with Judy Hinkle -Karaoke, followed on Thursday with our St. Louis tour to the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
