OYEN LODGE REPORT: Special birthdays celebrated this week

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. It's another week of seasons: rain, snow, wind, and sunny days. I think most of us are okay with that kind of weather because the residents are still outdoors walking.

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

Monday morning started with exercises, followed by Phase Ten card games. This card game is a favourite among regular card players. In the afternoon, there was bingo. Door prizes were given for two blackouts.

Happy Birthday to Mona Belovoir, Donna Hogan (who had a special birthday), and to Madeline Nichols on November 4th.

Tuesday morning was the regular bus run downtown, followed by one-on-one with the residents. On Tuesday, the Halloween decorations came down, and some Remembrance Day décor went up. On Tuesday afternoon, the residents enjoyed an ice cream parlour and then a resident council meeting. Resident council meetings are for residents to discuss old business and their concerns, and then they are presented to Gloria. Before supper hour Taylor Neilson played piano.

Wednesday from 10-2:00, Alberta Clothing was at the Lodge, so many residents did some shopping. It is so nice that these clothing companies visit the Lodge, for the convenience of the residents. Wednesday after lunch, the Legion members were at the Lodge to do some visiting, and in the afternoon, there were shuffleboard games.

Thursday morning was spent one-on-one with residents, followed by card games. Happy Birthday to Marvel Jorgenson, who also had a special birthday on November 7th.

Friday morning was spent exercising, followed by horse races. Friday afternoon was spent playing card bingo. Happy Birthday to Bev Haag on November 10th. Have a great long weekend, everyone, and a wonderful week.
