Oyen Lodge News: Mother’s Day weekend

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend. The weather has cooled off a bit again. The rain sure seemed spotty this last week, but some places sure had some nice showers to spruce things up.

Monday morning started with exercises followed by a one-on-one scrabble game. Before lunch Amanda and her dog Bob were at the Lodge. The residents enjoyed some puppy love with Bob, and Bob enjoyed interacting with the residents. In the afternoon there was bingo. Congratulations to Donna MacLean, who got a bingo on the number I29, so she won a $20 gift certificate to Alberta Clothing.

Tuesday morning there was exercises and the regular bus run downtown for shopping. Before lunch we did some walking. In the afternoon there was a pub day, on which refreshments and snacks were served. Before supper there was piano music with Taylor Neilson.

Wednesday morning there was Church with John followed by crossword games. Before lunch there was walking, and another visit with Amanda and Bob. In the afternoon there were shuffleboard games.

On Wednesday the maintenance men put some of the fish in the pond. Everything looks wonderful in the courtyard.

Thursday morning started with exercises  followed by baking. In the afternoon there were card games. A shout out to all the residents that planted flowers all around the Lodge, they look wonderful.

Friday morning started with horse races. #3 horse, Lazy was the top winner that day.  In the afternoon there was card bingo, and in the evening was music by Jorgenson’s and Dale Houston. Happy Birthday to Joan Mick on May 18th.

On Wednesday May 21st, Personal Touch Clothing and Avon will be at the Lodge from 10:00-2:00.

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend whether it was camping or just getting yard work done, or socializing. Have a great week everyone.
