MARYFIELD - Well here we are, one week closer to Christmas.
Last Wednesday night, we had our Christmas light up night and is it something. If you are on a sparkle tour, come to our courtyard entrance and have a look. We started off the evening with some carol singing with Judy at the piano. Then the lights were set on and lunch was served.
Tables were set with festive ware and lots of Christmas goodies and Lois' sticky buns were served, along with hot apple cider. They make us feel special. Our empty chairs are being filled with residents returning after being away awhile. Welcome back.
We also have a new resident, John Selby. Hope you enjoy your new home. He's even brave enough to play cards with the women at night and we enjoy having an added card shark.
We had another visit from Santa on Saturday. He left us boxes of chocolates to nibble on later, courtesy of the Lions Club. Thank you. Santa is also changing with the times. The first one had been on a diet, and the next one had no beard or hat, just a lot of hair but that didn't matter because as soon as you see Santa Claus, it takes you back to being a kid again and getting a treat handed out just for you.
I hope I never get too old to remember how excited I was to see Santa.
The countdown is on.
