Hoppy Easter Everyone!! May your Easter Day be filled with cheerful moments and lots of joy. May our lord bless you and your loved ones with peace and prosperity. We had the blessing of celebrating Dick DeMoss for his 92nd Birthday today as well! We hope it was everything and more :)

What’s a better way to spend a Friday before Easter than dying eggs and enjoying Happy Hour with friends :)

Today was perfect weather to “Cruise the Seas.” We enjoyed morning bible study with Pastor Greg, always a pleasure to hear him preach on Thursday mornings. In the afternoon we enjoyed the lovely weather outside, watched ocean documentaries, had a party with snacks and good company and finished off our day with some bingo! We were thrilled to have the guys of Theta Delta Chi from Iowa State University come join us for all the fun today :)

Some Bunny at Bickford Loves You!!! We’re getting into the Easter spirit over here :) Eva with 7C Rabbits was kind enough to bring her bunnies in for us to see again. We absolutely adore them! We got to play some bingo later this afternoon which sure was a treat. Included are some photos from yesterday when we did manicures and watched Grease in the evening :)

We’ve had a busy week so far here at Bickford of Ames! We played some good ole Bingo, Paul Davis came by to do a performance, and lunch club was a hit at Boulder TapHouse. We also celebrated Winston Churchill Day with a good game of jeopardy. We’re half way through the week and it’s been a good one. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings :)

We always appreciate his presence :) Lots of Bingo pictures from Monday and also today, everybody was a winner this week! We also celebrated National Spinach Day today with a delicious Spinach and Artichoke Dip for a snack!
