Oyen Lodge News: High school graduates

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. I hope everyone had a great long weekend. Congratulations to all the high school graduates on the long weekend. It was nice to get a little moisture. It’s nice to freshen things up, but we need a lot more.

Monday was a stat holiday, Victoria Day, so there were no office staff or activities that day.

Tuesday morning started with exercises and the regular bus run downtown for shopping. Before lunch, we did some walking outside. In the afternoon, there was an ice cream parlour where floats, sundaes and banana splits were served. Taylor Neilson was at the Lodge to play piano before supper.

Wednesday morning there was Church with John. Personal Touch Clothing and Avon were at the Lodge from 10:00-2:00 on Wednesday. In the afternoon there were shuffleboard games.

Thursday morning started with exercises, followed by a one-on-one with a resident to do some baking. In the afternoon, some of the Consort Lodge residents came to the Lodge for a tour of the Oyen Lodge, had coffee and snacks and did some socializing with the residents and staff.

Friday morning started with horse races. #2 horse Mariah was the top winner that day. In the afternoon, there was bingo, and in the evening, there was music by the Jorgenson’s and Dale Huston. Seniors’ week is approaching soon, so there will be lots of activities going on in the community.

On Tuesday June 3rd, there will be a new clothing line coming to Oyen Lodge. “Clothes 2 You” by Jodi from Coronation will be at the Lodge from 1:00-4:00 in the afternoon.

Have a great week, everyone. Keep smiling and enjoying the sunshine.
