Well here we are approaching the holiday season again already. I\u2019m really not sure how that happened so quickly, but it did and we are going to really enjoy the last two months of 2019.<\/p>\n
We kick off November with some furry fun! Pope Memorial Humane Society will be here for a visit with some of their cats and dogs. It\u2019s always a good way for the animals to get a little more socialized and our residents just love being able to cuddle a little fluff ball.<\/p>\n
We have some serious wine lovers here at Bartlett Woods, therefore every year we take a trip to Lincolnville to enjoy a little wine tasting at Cellar Door Winery. It\u2019s always a fun trip with some beautiful views to enjoy while sampling their delicious wines.<\/p>\n
Camden Hills Regional High School has an amazing drama department and each year they put on a fall musical. This year it is Mary Poppins. Our residents have once again been invited to the dress rehearsal. We like to make an evening of it and enjoy dinner before the show. It\u2019s always a fun evening out with some incredibly talented students.<\/p>\n
In October the activities team welcomed a new assistant, Karry. She has been with us for a few weeks now getting the lay of the land and learning the ropes. Now she wants to get to know our residents. Karry will host a tea on Saturday the 9th for the residents. It should be a lovely afternoon of tea, cookies and conversation.<\/p>\n
November means Veteran\u2019s Day, a day to honor all who have served and are serving our great country. Every year we try to find a way to honor our own veterans. This year, we will have our honor roll as well as a house wide \u2018Ice Cream Social\u201d to show our appreciation for all they have done for their country.<\/p>\n
November 11th is also National Origami Day. Just so happens we have a local lady who is no stranger to Bartlett Woods, Nan Haid will be here for a little Origami fun!<\/p>\n
We have several entertainers who have been coming to Bartlett Woods for many years, but none quite as long as pianist, Arlene Gamble. Arlene has been playing at Bartlett Woods for 15 years! So this month on her regularly scheduled visit we will be surprising her with a cake and celebration of all her years of entertainment!<\/p>\n
If you grew up in Maine, chances are you\u2019ve been to Moody\u2019s Diner at least once! Well, lucky for us it\u2019s just a 20 minute drive away and even luckier for us, the owner is a friend of our new assistant, Karry. Dan Moody has offered to give a brief history of the diner when we visit for lunch on the 18th. It will be interesting to hear how the diner got its start, not to mention enjoy some of their delicious food!<\/p>\n
It just wouldn\u2019t be right to skip National Play Monopoly Day! So if you are looking for your loved one here at Bartlett Woods on November 19th, chances are they will be in the game room playing this iconic game!<\/p>\n
With the weather turning colder, we tend to find more indoor activities to keep our days full. We have many movie buffs, so we like to take advantage of the matinees at Flagship Cinema. This month we will be going to see the newly released \u201cHarriet\u201d. A story about the life of Harriet Tubman, this looks to be an incredible movie.<\/p>\n
Another long time entertainer, Michael Perry will be here with a slide show presentation of his 32 years of traveling around New England, complete with history and stories. He is always a crowd pleaser and usually has a packed house for his shows.<\/p>\n
We have some great music this month also, All that Jazz, Harborside Harmony as well as the Finnish Lap Harp group.<\/p>\n
Lastly, Chef Aaron will be preparing an incredible Thanksgiving Dinner for our residents. We will also have the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day parade on the big screen and after dinner we will show the traditional Thanksgiving night movie \u201cHome Alone\u201d in our media room.
\nAs always we have our exercise classes, discussion groups, dining out, shopping trips, games, cocktail parties, church services, knitting groups and in house movies. We saved a seat for you!<\/p>\n
