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!

“Welcome to delicious”… a meal spent at Culver’s is always a delicious treat. Our group headed to a Rockford favorite for frozen custard (oh ya, and other food too) But more importantly….. frozen custard

Take a good look at our up-and-coming celebrity artists. Stainglass was the object of their creativity. Beautiful fragments of color to capture the summer sun in the most amazing way-throwing bits of colored reflection on the walls.

Many hands make light work. Boy was this a massive project that several of our residents worked on with Michelle. This flag turned out beautifully and what a festive reminder of how grand pur flag is! we also were treated to some additional patriotic decorations around the branch.
