Bicycles and Chickens

We're getting in shape for bikini season. Spring is here, so summer can't be far behind, right? Some of you may have seen that red bicycle (large tricycle, really) sitting by the Ivy Room door. That bike was acquired because of someone's dream several years ago. (If you don't know about our Dream program...well, I guess that's a blog for another time.)

We decided to get the bike out again, pump up the tires and let people scare the staff and other residents by riding around in the hallways. (Nobody was really scared - it was all very well staffed and controlled.)There were several riders and I caught two of them on video.

Also - this is sort of two blogs in one - I wanted to share some video with you of one of our residents reading to some children. In case you didn't know, Menorah Park has a day care center for employees' children. We get visits from them twice a month. Usually we sing together. Lately, a couple of residents expressed an interest in reading to children. A match was made!
