Is is always sad when we lose a resident. However the memories and time spent with their family at their funeral is quite special. We get to share in happy memories. We talk of our time spent with them and listen to the family stories.

I was particularly tickled to hear a story today at recent funeral. She was a great animal lover. At one time while driving to the lake there were many frogs on the road and she did not like to run over them so she had her grandchild, who was riding with her at the time, walk in front of the car to shoo them away!

It is times like this that make us realize how much of a family we all are and how blessed we are to be part of their lives.

May you rest in Peace and know that you will always bring a smile to our and your families faces in thinking of you.

We have had one wonderfully busy summer!

Our first of 4 fishing trips was June 14th. Let’s Go Fishing, a volunteer organization provides us with guides and all the equipment needed to catch the big one. 

We visited Prairie Wetlands facilities in Fergus Falls MN, where we got to see many butterflies and had a ride through the prairie on a golf cart.

A Red Hawks baseball game in Fargo was history making, there were two triple plays that day and a win!

Loran Hudson, a local musician, invited us and other facilities out to his farm in Lidgerwood, ND> Food and entertainment was provided and we danced our socks off!

Along with all of our daily and monthly activities a fun time was had by all!

In September we wii travel to Maplewood State Park to see the changing of the leaves. October brings little ghosts and goblins to our facility.

Please join us for coffee and snacks at 3:00 pm everyday.

 

Recently we took a most touching bus trip. Fern was anxious to see her husband’s grave in rural Lidgerwood, ND. Others had sites in the area so a bus load of us took off. Starting in MN then on to ND and SD. Residents had the chance to visit their loved ones and reminiscence. We got to see Fern’s old home and take a look at the crops and old farmsteads around us.

All and all we had a wonderful ride!

As I embark on the start of the 2016 Thanksgiving week, I am greeted with an aroma of caramel apple dumplings baking for this afternoon snack today, my mind reminisces of the wonderful thought that this Thanksgiving will mark my third year of being the Executive Director at Twin Town Villa.

I am extremely grateful for my amazing staff and loving residents and their families. Each year marks new faces and new stories but the kindness and love are the same.  I pray for continued happiness and health as we enter into the holiday season and look forward to making new friends and numerous memories.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Twin Town Villa!
