OYEN LODGE: Residents ring in the new year

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday with family and friends.

The weather was great for some outdoor activities and travelling. Christmas Eve, Santa arrived at the Lodge and left Christmas Stockings on the residents doors filled with goodies. Some residents went out to spend Christmas with their families and some families came in to the Lodge to spend some time with residents.

Monday December 30th morning started with exercises followed by domino’s. in the afternoon was bingo.

Tuesday morning was the regular bus run downtown and exercises. Tuesday afternoon the residents celebrated New Years Eve. Champagne and orange juice, wine or coffee was served along with sausage, cheese, crackers, devilled eggs, cookies and chocolate treats. The residents sang a couple of new years songs and enjoyed socializing to ring in the New Year.

Dianne was away January 1st -3rd, so there was no activities. Hopefully everyone rang in the New Year with love, happiness and cheers to a fresh start. The Oyen Lodge residents and staff would like to wish everyone a year filled with happiness, success and good health. Every day is a new beginning, embrace the new year with a heart full of hope and cherished moments. Happy New Year!
