Hill View Manor residents celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Easter

March was a fun time for residents of Hill View Manor.
By Jeannette Betteridge

ESTEVAN - Our St. Patrick's Day Coin Hunt and Easter Egg Hunt offered good times and loads of fun.

March 15 was our annual coin hunt for St. Patrick's Day. Prizes were given to the resident who found the most hidden green coins. Our first place winner was Ken Geisel, second place was Henry Lischka and third place was Vivian Leptich, Congratulations to our winners. This brought lots of excitement for all the participants, and it was great fun for all.

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt was held on March 22. Prizes were given to first and second-place winners. First place went to Mervin Wolgram and second place went to Henry Lischka.

Our monthly ice cream social will be held March 27. This is an all-time favourite for our residents. It is a great socialization time for them and offers some very yummy treats.

Entertainment this month was the Caragana Ramblers, Maggie, the Szakacs Family, Laurie Fornwald, Susan Shepard, Wilma and Val, and Keith and Gary.

Happy Easter to all from our home to yours.

April outings will be to Make Music with Friends, which is an all-time favourite. We'll go to Walmart for shopping and Eddie Webster's for lunch.

In April we have three birthdays: Waunie Thompson celebrates her 68th birthday, Millie Culbertson will turn 97 and Dave Schell celebrates his 74th birthday. Happy birthday to all.

Many activities are planned for April for the residents. The first Wednesday of the month is always Catholic mass, followed by the Trinity Lutheran communion in the afternoon. The first Thursday of the month is the resident meeting where the residents give feedback on what is going on.

The Gospel Chapel always comes on the third Sunday of the month. I hold non-denominational devotions for the residents on Wednesdays in the late afternoons.

Crafts with the Estevan Public Library, exercises, Bingo, card games, crokinole, bowling, bean bag toss and various board games are among the other activities.

The last Friday of the month is loonie bingo followed by wine and cheese, or fruit juice for anyone not wanting wine.
