The residents have participated in many creative and mental-based activities.
They gathered for Tell Me All about It and Show and Tell for a brief discussion and then broke into groups doing puzzles, watching videos and some enjoyed the weather on the front porch.
The Country Store was open on Tuesday and a large group participated.
The tables were filled with wonderful items that had been donated and purchased by various groups and staff.
The residents selected envelopes containing play money and then shopped until they spent it all.
To express their creative side, they created beautiful Easter portraits. They were given their choice of mediums including crayons, markers, paints, glitters or water colors.
Everyone did a fantastic job and they are proudly on display in the activity room
