Oyen Lodge Report: Winter Wonderland
By Dianne Spath
Hello, everyone. January is going so fast. Don’t know about anyone else, but I am ready for spring already. It’s nice that the evenings are getting a bit lighter out each day.
Monday morning started with exercises, followed by whist card games. In the afternoon was bingo.
Tuesday morning was exercises, and the regular bus run downtown. Also Tuesday morning was a one on one with a resident playing scrabble and I must admit I got beat bad this week. Tuesday afternoon was our pub day. Residents were served drinks and snacks during their social hour.
Wednesday morning there was Church with Bill, followed by crossword games. In the afternoon there were shuffleboard games. Wednesday was “National Wear Your Favorite Hat” day. The residents that participated in wearing a hat, got their name in a draw for a prize and Joan Sheilds was the lucky winner.

Thursday morning was one on one baking with a resident. Thursday afternoon there was a Winter Wonderland Tea. Blue and white cupcakes, snowball cookies and white chocolate covered pretzels were served with tea and coffee. The tables were decorated with white trees, snowmen and snowballs with some blue décor. Door prizes were given out for those that attended the tea. The door prizes were biscuit cookies, a snowflake candy dish filled with candy and some snowflake coffee mugs with snowflake hand towels. Lucky winners were Joan Mick, Maxine Girletz, Don Bamber, Madeline Nichols and Keith MacLean. Some of the residents dressed in blue and white to go with the winter wonderland theme.
Friday morning started with exercise, followed by horse races. In the afternoon there was bingo and in the evening the Jorgenson’s played music. Happy Birthday to Sophie Smith on January 16th.
Just a reminder that Maximum Hearing will be at the Lodge on Wednesday January 22nd. The Oyen Lodge would like to welcome a new resident, Tom Tracy. Have a great week everyone. Stay warm and stay safe.
