Fun and Games

Here at Hampshire House everyone enjoys playing games. They're fun and help keep our residents active.

Can you catch the balloon?

Yes, I can!

I can too!

We also enjoy music. Carol comes in often and plays the piano. She plays many of the old songs so everyone can sing along and some even dance.

Veterans' Day Celebration

Hampshire House celebrated Veterans' Day by doing a program on this special day. Many residents shared their stories about World War II and other wars they and/or their loved ones participated in. We then all gathered in the dining room where we sang many of the patriotic songs, including the songs from each branch of the service. All of our veterans received red, white and blue balloons hung on their doors with a special sign that designated them as veterans.

Baking Monster Cookies

Hi Everyone,

We had a fun time last week joining in in many various activities. One that we really enjoyed celebrating was Cookie Monster's birthday. He was designed by Jim Henson in 1966. We made cookie monster cookies. They sure were fun to make and even more fun to eat. For those of you who are not familiar with them they do not contain any flour. Instead they are made up of good things to eat like peanut butter and oatmeal. Of course, they also contain lots of M&M's and chocolate chips! We had help from a couple of students from Oneonta State College. They not only helped us bake them but they enjoyed helping us eat the cookies too.

Hi Everyone,

What a busy, wonderful week we had last week. We celebrated Halloween in a big way this year because we had an added bonus. One of our residents reached her 100th birthday on Halloween day!

Friday evening we had some children come in to sing for us, show us their costumes and make a Halloween craft with us. What fun that was!

On Saturday we had a dance. Yes, a dance! The staff dressed in costumes and we all danced to Halloween music. Thank you Peggy Davis, for making the dance happen. Then came the birthday party. We sang Happy Birthday to Marion French and all enjoyed the cake that Sue Harp made. Not only was it all decorated in a Halloween theme but it was S0000 good. Thanks Sue, and Marion, we wish you many more birthdays.
