Heartland celebrated the 4th of July two days early, They had watermelon and fireworks. It was cloudy with some light rain. so most of the residents sat under the large awning on the assisted living side. The problem was that if you sit under the awning, you can't see the fireworks. The staff are really a dedicated group of people and a lot of their spouses and children were there to help.I appreciate all the things they do and effort they expend; it must be difficult to plan and put these programs on with so many residents not caring or participating.
Eleanor enjoyed watching people more that the fireworks, she did enjoy seeing several of her friends from the independent living side. I wonder if other retirement communities have the division between the assisted and independent living residents. It seems that most of the independent living residents don't choose to mix with the assisted living residents at Heartland.
We are having a cookout on the 4th : brats, salads, beer and rhubarb crisp are the planned menu.
Hope everyone has a great day!
