ESTEVAN — Hill View Manor had a lot of activities planned for residents in June.
Father's Day was June 18, and we had a special lunch for the dads here at the home, followed by an outing to the South East Military Museum at the Royal Canadian Legion in Estevan.
We requested a letter from each family, telling us what they thought was special about their dad. We read the letters from each family member to their father right after they finished lunch. The letters were then given to the dads as a special keepsake.
The gardens and flowers have been planted, adding beautiful colours to our yard.
Other activities for the month are daily Bingo, exercises four times per week to help us stay fit, card games, movies, crokinole, bowling, bean bag toss, Yahtzee and shuffleboard.
We will also be having an ice cream social. This is loved by all the residents and very yummy to say the least.
Shared read is a group activity we do for anyone who might be visually impaired or maybe just wants to listen to the short stories.
The last Friday of the month is loonie Bingo, followed by wine and cheese or fruit juice for anyone not wanting wine.
Outings this month were to Black Beard's Restaurant for lunch and Walmart. We went to the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course for lunch and cart rides. This is always a very nice outing.
June 8 was a trip to the Energy City Ex to enjoy the fair and rodeo.
On June 25 we had a family fun day, which was a fun time for all. Entertainment was provided by Laurie Fornwald. Bugsy the pony made an appearance, and there were games for anyone wishing to play them.
We had two birthdays to celebrate in June as Henry L. is 94 and Ed F. is 86. Happy birthday to both.
We have a couple here in the home, Bob and Ivadelle G., that will be celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them. They are new to the manor.
We would like to welcome a few other new residents: Bruce B., Shirley A. and Lucille W.
We also had to say goodbye to one of our residents, Leo S.
Entertainment this month are Wilma and Val, Keith and Gary, Laurie Fornwald and Susan Shepard.
