Our cooking club met yesterday. Although we were small the two that came made the best veggie pizza. They shared it with the residents at dinner as a bite size sample. It was requested the club make it again soon. I guess that means it was a hit!!

Some of our Bickford residents and their families took advantage of the beautiful First day of Fall weather. They enjoyed reading, chatting, playing on their phones or admiring the fall decorations on the porch. We hope to have a few more of these wonderful weather days to enjoy.

Today is Country Store Day!! Thank you to one of our residents for helping me set it up. Bring on the shoppers!!!

Today we had a guest presenter from the St. Charles Library. Chris shared a presentation on Oktoberfest. The residents had a great time learning about the cuisine, the costumes, the music and more. There was even singing and dancing going on. All that was missing was the German beer and pretzels.
