Valentine's Day was full of Valentine's, music, Red and pink hearts,sweets and sweethearts! The Day started with a singing Valentine for our own Wellness Director, Darlene. The fun soared into our annual Balloon Bouquet Fundraiser to benefit the Area Agency on Aging, where we raised almost $200 again this year! However, the culmination of the day came when the Annual Sweethearts Ball kicked off! 
The festivities began with dancing, and dancing and more dancing and led to crowning of the King and Queen, as voted by the Residents at Juniper Village. Mr. and Mrs. Kline will have been married 59 years this March 22nd. They met at a Diner, where Eugene had worked part time around 1950. He struck up a conversation with Doris and, as he says "that was it!", and by 1952 they were married. Eugene is a man of few words and when asked to provide a few about his marriage, he simply chuckled and said "It's been a long time, we are happily married." The Klines are expecting another great grandchild soon, and from the smile, it is evident, Eugene is proud of his whole family!
Love and matchmaking abounded as the creative version of the Dating Game was played. There were a few sparks flying about as two of the contestants locked lips in a kiss! The crowd clapped in delight as the questions and answer session became quite funny! Happy Valentine's Day from Juniper Village, where we were Awakening our Passion in the most entertaining ways this Valentine's Day!
