Nothing like a good volleyball game for exercise! Shoutout to Tom and Lori for lending a hand to the BFMs and helping set up the lunch tables. So grateful for helpers!

Happy National Plant a Flower Day! Today we had such a wonderful time decorating our very own flower pots and sharing memories of the gardens we used to have when we lived at home. It was a sweet reminder of how much joy flowers and gardening can bring.

Happy National Oreo Day! Nothing better than Oreo sundaes and smiles.

“Yesterday we celebrated National Pancake Day with some yummy pancakes for our afternoon snack!

Today we celebrated Dr. Seuss Day! We started the morning by watching a virtual Cat in the Hat story, then worked on a couple of fun Dr. Seuss counting worksheets. In the afternoon, we got creative and made our own Dr. Seuss hats using marshmallows, strawberries, and bananas — such a sweet and colorful treat! We wrapped up the day with some color-by-number worksheets and watched the Cat In The Hat. It was a day full of learning, laughter, and lots of Seuss-inspired fun! #BickfordSeniorLiving#ReadAcrossAmerica
