Christmas Fun

We have had a lot of fun leading up to Christmas. Several groups have come in to sing and we have enjoyed some wonderful, fun Christmas programs. We cut out sugar cookies and baked them. Then we decorated them for the Christmas party. And what a great party we had! The west wing sang Christmas songs to us and the east wing did a special presentation of "It Must Be Santa". Santa arrived with presents for all and he even brought his elf to help.

A Visit from Big Chuck

Hi everyone,

We had a great visit from Chuck D'Imperio, the DJ from WDOS radio station. He joined us during our Happy Hour on Friday and talked about local history and happenings in the area. What a great speaker he is! He had us all spellbound. Before he left he put on his Santa hat and read us the story "The Night Before Christmas".

Cleo came to visit.

Monday we had a visit from Cleo, a bulldog/boxer mix loaded with charm and personality. Cleo comes to see us on a regular basis and the residents have gotten very fond of her. She lives at the Delaware Valley Humane Society shelter in Sidney, NY. Hampshire House has "adopted" the shelter and makes donations of bedding and other necessities. We just donated a handmade quilt to them to raffle off. Karen Crawford, the shelter manager, says they have the capacity for 37 dogs and 75 to 80 cats and usually they are nearly full, especially with cats. Anyone interested in donating or adopting can learn more about the shelter at: http://www.delawarevalleyhumane.org/. And oh, sorry folks, Cleo is not available for adoption!

Visiting with the students

Hi everyone,

We are continuing our partnership with Hartwick College Nursing program again this year. The gerontology class comes in to work on their communication skills with our residents. This will continue through December. Our residents are happy to share their knowledge and life history, then they give them a tour of their home.

Hi everyone,

We have been so busy getting ready for Christmas but we still found time to enter the downtown gingerbread contest again this year. What fun that was! The theme was favorite children's books. What a great idea. We decided to make our gingerbread house around everyone's favorite Christmas story, "The Night Before Christmas". We made the house like a doll house where you could look inside from the back and see "the children all nestled snug in their beds", the fireplace, Christmas tree and other furniture. The residents had a great time putting the green gum on the sides and front of the house for the siding as well as the wafers on the roof for the shingles. Santa and the eight tiny raindeer were placed on the front lawn.

All our hard work paid off as we again placed 3rd in the competion. Everyone felt very happy with the judges' decision.
