Happy New Year!

As noon approached on 12/31/09, the Residents counted down to ring in the New Year with some bubbly!
















Can anyone spot which one of these is not like the other? As most Residents sipped on Sparkling Grape Juice, a few enjoyed the taste of white wine. The tables were decorated with horns and decoration as a traditional meal was served.












Mary Tokarcik raises her glass for a toast to the year 2010. The countdown began...10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sounds of Auld Lang Syne came streaming from the small bistro dining room...someone was actually belting out each word! I had to go shake that man's hand, I have never known anyone who actually knew ALL those words. It was Mr. Kreitz, glass raised in a toasting fashion towards his wife, proudly and reminiscently singing the song. It brought joy to my heart. So much joy... that I neglected to snap a photo.

Horns began to reverberate and residents broke into wishes of well being and happiness for their fellow residents.
Jennifer is shown preparing for the festivities. It was another successful celebration in Nurturing the Spirit of Life. Thank you Jennifer, for helping us all ring the New Year in by Celebrating Traditions. Posted by Picasa
