Hill View crowns Valentine's King and Queen

ESTEVAN — February was a great month at Hill View Manor.

The Valentine's King and Queen were crowned. This year's queen was Pauline Benko and the king was Ken Geisel. Both were chosen through votes from residents, families and staff.

A very special thank you to the businesses that came together and donated carnations for Valentine's Day for the residents. The flowers were very much loved and appreciated by the residents. They brought big smiles to their faces.

Many activities happened in February. In addition to the Valentine's party for the residents, there was an ice cream social, exercises, Bingo, card games, crokinole, bowling, bean bag toss, crafts and various board games, to list a few.

The last Friday of the month was loonie bingo, followed by a wine and cheese social. Fruit juice was for anyone not wanting wine.

Outings in February were to Make Music with Friends, which is an all-time favourite. We also went to Black Beard's for lunch and Walmart.

In February we had three birthdays: Alan Davis (94), Irene McKinny (86) and Grace Carlson (99). Happy birthday to all.

Entertainment this month included the Caragana Ramblers, Maggie, the Szakacs Family, Susan Shepard, Wilma and Val, and Keith and Gary. They are slated to perform in March as well.

Welcome to our new residents, Ron and Pauline Edwards.

March will be a great month as well. March 15 is to be our annual coin hunt for St. Patrick's Day. A prize will be given to the resident who finds the most hidden green coins. This brings lots of excitement for all the participants and it is great fun for all.

We will have one birthday. Janet Ternes celebrates her 82nd birthday. A happy birthday to her.

Also, a happy Easter to all from our home to yours.
