Michelle introduced a diabolical dice game that gave candy to all who participated but…..land on the wrong number and it was taken away! Don’t feel too bad for them, at the end everyone left with goodies!

It’s that time of year! Pumpkin flavored everything, sweaters and fall crafts!!!!!!

It took many hands to pull off this game, but they made it look effortless. This game takes teamwork and coordination and definitely brought a crowd.

Today kicked off a casual game of cornhole in the living room but quickly it transformed into an epic showdown! nothing beats the laughter, friendly competition, and those unexpected moments that bring us closer together. Who knew a simple game could spark so much fun?

Lunch at Jessica’s! A family favorite since 1986. Jessica’s is located in Roscoe, Illinois and if you were to ask most of the people that live in Roscoe and the surrounding areas about Jessica’s most would tell you how many times they ate there, or talk about their sausage gravy. On the rare occasion that you find someone who hasn’t eaten there, they know exactly where it’s located.

Here at Bickford Senior Living in Rockford, Michelle started a new book club! Upon our residents a suggestion, she is reading a book to them (think audiobook going live). Currently they are reading the book ‘The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules’. Her first session was a success!

James took some of our residents out on the patio and porch after breakfast this morning before the heat ramped up this afternoon. sometimes all you need to really start your day right is a little time in the sun and fresh air.

Summers are for baseball!!! Sunday our residents last attended a Rockford Rivets game at River Stadium where they played the Kalamazoo Growlers. Despite our cheering, the Rivets lost but the experience was top notch!!!

We took a trip back in time to the 50’s. Sock hops, poodle skirts and classic diners set the scene as we danced to rock n’ roll, played our favorite tunes and even got crafty decorating our own 50’s style sunglasses. It was a blast from the past-and we loved every minute of it!
