Happy Halloween from your friends at Shoreview Senior Living, we hope it is spooktacular!
Pumpkin painting was a blast at Shoreview Senior Living, so much talent in one room. They all showed there spooky side, fun to see them all lined up outside!!
Trudi joined us for an “Awesome October” sing-a-long. It was filled with all the songs we love and songs to get us in the Halloween spirit. Residents loved the broom repair shop commercial!
Read MoreMonday we took a trip to Silverwood Nature Center, a beautiful place to experience apple pressing. Residents learned how to make apple cider and made some cute clay ornaments and pines for fall. A shout out to Sam and Galby for their time and dedication to making this a terrific afternoon for us all. Residents learned that there are over 2,500 varieties of apples in the US and over 7,000 in the world. The U of M is creating an encyclopedia set which will consist of all apple varieties ever created. I was surprised that there was only one apple that is native to the US , which is the crab apple. We also learned that 1 apple had just as much fiber as 2 servings of Metamucil. We voted on eating the apple!!! At the end of the class we enjoyed our homemade pressed apple cider…YUM!!

Jill and Cathie joined us and sang all of our favorites and even taught us a new song, “Banana Split.” It was such a cute song and fun to hear the residents sing their part.
