In celebration of Dance Like a CHICKEN Day, we did puzzles about CHICKENS, ate CHICKEN pot pie and EGG salad sandwiches for lunch, and—of course—we danced with some CHICKENS! We also found time to play a very exciting axe-throwing game in which Paul’s Bunions edged Tony’s Tigers 18-17 to win the championship! We had such a good day having fun and laughing together! 🐥 🐣 🐥

We celebrated BASEBALL today with lots of activities!! ⚾️ We painted baseballs using Qtips. We had a baseball park lunch of hot dogs and tater tots, beans and slaw. We talked about A to Z things you might see at a baseball game. We had a pitching contest. It was close but the Pirates edged out the Anchor Angels 38 to 35. We sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame in music along with other great songs. Fun day! ⚾️⚾️

Today Alabama Wildlife was supposed to bring birds to visit us. Although they had to cancel at the last minute, we still had a bird themed day. We painted pictures of birds using Qtips that turned out so pretty. Everyone’s was unique. We decorated our room with them for summertime. Pastor Mike visited and gave us a great devotion based on Isaiah 40:31, soaring like eagles! After lunch and volleyball, Don and Lynda entertained us with songs about birds. 🦅 🦅

We had a Paint-Pouring Party today and created some beautiful works of art! When the paint dries, we can take our creations home to remind us of what a fun day we had! We also listened to some “oldies” music on our headphones. The WVOK DJs from the 50s, 60s, and early 70s would have been quite impressed with some of the moves on our dance floor!

Today we were all seeing yellow as we celebrated the Savannah Bananas baseball team! We watched clips from the team doing their crazy antics that they are known for. We divided into teams and had a banana toss with the Banana Splits and the Slip and Sliders ending up in an even tie! The highlight was Gina doing a handstand and tossing bananas into buckets with her feet!! And yes, she actually hit the targets!!! It was a jaw dropper for sure! We had a good lunch and afterwards ate banana splits. Good to have Mike back after surgery. 🍌🍌💛💛

It was a great evening at the Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama’s Garden Art party event. Our Anchor friends, Les and Mike, designed and built the amazing centerpieces for the event. We finished painting them at Anchor over the last few weeks. I was delighted Les was able to attend!
