Assisted Living Tip of the Day

Also:
Don't run away from walking water.
Don't stand in standing water.
Don't sit in frozen water.
Don't walk away from Running Water especially if "Running Water" is a Native American. It would be rude.
Don't swim in the Cuyahoga River water.
Don't drink the south of the boarder water.
And never walk away while passing water.

Call Us Ishmael

Here are some images from our outings on the Goodtime III over the last two weeks.

The Goodtime III is an excursion ship here in Cleveland. We took the lunchtime cruise and guided tour of the Cuyahoga River. We also went out onto Lake Erie for a bit. The weather was perfect for both days of our outing, and some of us went up onto the second deck to get a bird's eye view of Cleveland.










The Captain came and sat with us for a while.

Me at Work. Again.

She Had Them Kvelling in the Aisles

Sharon Daniels, the daughter two of our residents, lives in Florida and is a professional performer. While here visiting, she graced us with a show of unparalleled splendor. Sharon is a singer, comedienne and does impersonations.

I have never seen our Ivy Room fill up so quickly and so completely. We opened the wall and the dining room was filled half way back. Sharon did not disappoint!



Here she is as Joan Rivers.



She had the entire audience laughing and clapping for an hour.



Here she is as Dr. Ruth.



The best part, though, was watching her parents. The kvel factor was high that night!

Me At Work

Correction

I included a link in my last in my last posting about Hy Snell. I identified the link as a link to an article in the Sun Press about Hy's recent Art Show at Stone Gardens. It was a link to an article about Hy Snell and his art, but it was from a February article. Here is the correct link http://blog.cleveland.com/sunpress/2010/08/menorah_park_resident_92_to_di.html
We do not really regret the error since Hy, at 91 years old, seems to be a very busy artist, and we think that's pretty good. In fact, we are constantly inspired by our residents.

Tiny Bubbles

We had a Hawaiian themed day on Tuesday this past week. It included a Hawaiian style BBQ for lunch, and a "Tiny Bubbles" Cocktail party out on out Lanai (aka the Rose Garden).

Wine and Roses and Our Artist

Last weekend was our resident artist Hy Snell's Art Show here at Stone Gardens (See the post from last week).

So, to kick it off, we had a Wine and Roses reception in our Rose Garden.



Here's the artist dancing (yes, we had music out there) with Dee, another resident's daughter.

The Sun Press ran a very nice article about HY. You can find it here: Hy Snell Article

And here's Hy with his daughter, Amy.


Here are two of his works that were shown on our walls. Hy's work is for sale, and he sold a few pieces last weekend. I'm sure he'd be willing to talk to you about a beautiful addition for your den or office!

Stories and Music

Catching up on some blogging! There's so much going on here. it's hard to keep up!

On August 11th we were fortunate to have a visit from nationally known Jewish storyteller Corinne Stavish. Corrine is from Michigan and was in for a Jewish Educator conference at the Siegal College of Judaic Studies. We were so glad to be ale to get her to come and do a program for us.




On Tuesday, Aug 10th, Sarah took a group to the Beachwood Aquatic Center for an outdoor concert. As you can see, a good time was had by all.
