Spring 2012

Prairie Pines' Residents enjoy getting out and about and checking out the movies at the Crow-Luther Cultural Center.
Residents and community members enjoyed meeting the Weisbrod Hospital Administrator Tom Hinton.




Phyllis, Dorie, Charles, Lois and Evelyn are all trying for that blackout Bingo prize.


Community members and residents always have fun making new friends and catching up on what's going on around town at our Tuesday afternoon coffee hours.



Spring is such a nice time to sit outside.  Vercene and Emma say they like listening to the birds.





Having a ton of fun in the salon.  We appreciate the ladies who come in and do our hair.







Although Bobby Benet, from Reno, NV was only in town a short time,
 he often provided music for our dining experience.  We miss him.















 
Peggy assists the residents' in activities at both Prairie Pines Assisted Living and for the Weisbrod Nursing Home.



The children from the day care center had soooo much fun hunting for Easter eggs.

Don't you just love our Easter egg tree?  Thank you, Lois, for sharing your tree with us.






Lois, Bunnie, Emma and Doris are just getting started in a rousing game of dominoes.




It sure means a lot to the residents when their family members visit.



Way to go, Lois.  Good catch! 





Eads and surrounding communities are sure blessed to have the Tribute Quartet stop by so we can enjoy that good ole Southern Gospel. 







It was fun to notice that several of us wore lime green on the same day.





Vercene's cousin came all the way from the Western Slope to visit her.






Vercene had another relative stop by - what fun!



Evelyn's spreading fertilizer.  She and Lois grow very lovely flowers.


When was the last time you played horseshoes?

January and February 2012


We welcome the Mennonite  A cappella Singers.  They even let us sing or hum along to our favorite hymns.

Evelyn and friends enjoy visiting by the fire.



Brandye and Alyssa are having fun playing Bingo with Bunnie, Emma, Charles, Vercene and Lois. 



Doesn't the Valentine Tree look beautiful!  The tree is decorated with valentines that Lois has kept since grade school.  Betty and Dorothy are catching up on their reading while enjoying the warmth of that wonderful fireplace.

November and December 2011

 Prairie Pines residents and community members are waiting for the transit van.  The ride to Lamar for the Southeast Colorado Concert Association's Christmas Concert was filled with excitement and anticipation.    Everyone enjoyed the Ark Valley Wind and Percussion, the Valley Jazz Orchestra, and the Main Street Ringers Hand Bell Choir.  What a wonderful way to welcome in December.                                            





Evelyn's sharing some of her cooking secrets with Kemma.



Dorie had a good time visiting and exchanging gifts with the women at the Methodist church.




Evelyn and Annie , Charles, Vercene, Dorie and Betty joined family and friends to listen to the wonderful Choir Christmas Cantata.






We just love it when Emma's son comes and sings for us.  Here he is performing for all the Prairie Pines residents, their family and friends for our much-anticipated Christmas party at Prairie Pines. 










Dorie looks picture-perfect wearing her favorite holiday sweater. 


Lois, Maria, Bunnie and Brandy
Lovin' those elf hats!





Tracy Weeks is treating the ladies to a makeover before the night's festivities begin. 




Barb, Dru and Melinda



Charles is just catching up on the game before rejoining everyone at Jimmy Brown's Holiday Sing-Along. 







As Santa was handing out candy canes, this cute little boy followed along asking each person if he could have theirs.  How cute!!



It was not until 1846 when Queen Victoria and her family were pictured by a Christmas tree that the trend became popular worldwide.  Seems only fitting that Dorothy has her picture taken by the Prairie Pines Christmas tree.
