Sharing The Love

We have a friend in our Sunday class who works at a retirement village in our area. The building she works in is where the residents actually purchase their apartments. These folks are active retirees, with means, who no longer want the upkeep of a house and all the responsibility that goes along with that upkeep. It seems like a nice place to live!

They have an activities director and are always doing something to promote the social atmosphere of their building. An easy activity for February, of course, was a Valentine's Day get together. Our friend asked our Sunday class to sign individual Valentine cards to all the residents, which we did. We also had all the ladies at the Ladies Class luncheon sign cards so all the residents received two cards.

When we were deciding on decorations for our Ladies Bible class luncheon a few weeks ago, one of the hostesses suggested offering the decorations to our friend to decorate the dining area for their Valentine's Day get together. I stored all the balloon center pieces at our house this past week and yesterday several of the luncheon hostesses and myself along with a couple of others from our Sunday class met at the retirement village and decorated the dining area. We also helped serve the refreshments and distributed the Valentine cards and visited with the residents. It turned out to be a very enjoyable afternoon!

I can't believe the balloons have stayed inflated for over two weeks!
