"Harvest Supper felt like a family reunion. My kids still talk about the pie table and the guitarist who knew every song Grandpa requested."
Heather G.,Daughter of a resident"I painted my first watercolor at eighty-one. It is hanging in the hallway now, and my great-grandson tells everyone I am famous."
Bea L.,Resident"Winter Lights is magic. Mom held my arm the whole loop and pointed out every tree. It was the best evening we have had in years."
