Oyen Lodge News: Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. It has been chilly this past week, with some snow. The shovelling has begun. The tree branches covered in snow look beautiful, like a winter wonderland. Residents are getting excited and are helping to decorate for the Residents' Christmas party.

A Mini Bake Sale was held on Thursday along with a shopping opportunity with “If The Shoe Fits.”

My deepest sympathies to Inga Andersen's family on her passing. Inga was a resident of the Lodge before she moved to the Auxillary. Inga was a special lady and will be missed by many. Condolences also go to Walter Walker's family. Walter was also a Lodge resident before moving to the Auxillary.

Monday morning started with exercises followed by whist card games. Monday afternoon was bingo.

Tuesday morning was the regular bus run downtown. Tuesday morning was also one-on-one with a resident who loves to help decorate. Tuesday afternoon was ice cream parlour and piano by Taylor Neilson.

Happy Birthday to Ed Hiller on November 26.

Wednesday morning was Church with Catherine Holland. Wednesday afternoon was shuffleboard games.

Happy Birthday to Owen Hausauer on November 27.

Thursday morning was one-on-one with a resident. "If The Shoe Fits" company was at the Lodge from 10:00-2:00, and there was a mini bake sale.

Friday morning was exercises followed by horse races. Friday afternoon was bingo, and Friday evening was music by the Jorgenson's.

Happy Birthday to Helen Kroker on November 30.

The Lodge would like to welcome a new resident, Dan Hertz.

The Oyen Lodge would like to send our deepest condolences to one of the Board Members of Acadia Foundation, Daryl Swenson and family on the loss of his brother Bill Swenson.

Have a great week everyone and stay safe and warm.
