Packers
Cindy and Marilee
ready for the game.
Most of us here were pretty excited about the Packers making the
Super Bowl. We do have 1 Bears fan and 1 Steelers fan so they
weren’t too happy about it. The rest of us were pretty happy with
the outcome of the game. We all wore our Packer clothes or at least
green and gold. We had Packer
signs and banners hanging around
to show our support. Unfortunately for her, our Steelers fan
had to wear a Packer jersey after
the loss but she took it in stride
and wore it well. Maybe we’ll
convert her yet. Go Packers!

Birthday Lunch
Waterford Senior Living
As this is being written, the sun is shining, snow is
melting, and can it be??? I think I actually see green
grass! This is so exciting, but it also reminds me of
mud, dirt and filthy carpets. Never fear. We are continuing our rotation of carpet cleanings that we
started last year. I will remind our residents a few
days before your carpet is to be cleaned, then all you

need to do is stay off of the carpet until it is completely dry (usually 5-6 hours). If a family member
would rather take a resident out for a while, that
works too. The next scheduled cleaning is for apartments 200-207 plus Apt 300 on Friday, February
25th beginning at 8:30am. If you have any questions
regarding the carpet cleaning, just let me know.
The snow arrived with a vengeance for
all of Feb 1, 2 and 3. People stayed and
worked extra shifts because the next
shift couldn’t get here and others came
early and slept here so they could work
their shift. One employee walked in to
cook breakfast because the cook couldn’t get here on Wed morning and another kitchen employee walked in with
her husband blazing a trail so she could
cook lunch/dinner. 2 other employees
trucked in so they could shovel out our
doors. The snow was up over some
windows and residents spent days not
being able to see out. But we were all
nestled and snugged in and ready for
anything. It brought back memories of
snow storms when we were much
younger and being snowed in for days.
The residents all agreed that they were
happy not to have to shovel this snow.

Spot Light on:
The Snow Ball
On Saturday, February 12, Waterford Senior Living held its first annual Snow Ball! To
get warmed up, residents won Valentinethemed Bingo prizes, winning off of homemade "LOVE" and "SNOW" Bingo
cards. When dancing time ensued, the
residents wiggled to the dance floor. Peter,
a high school volunteer, offered residents
punch, heart cookies, 'snow balls,' mini
cream puffs, and chocolate éclairs, prepared by our baker, Barb. Amelie and I
took on the role of DJs, playing classics
like Lawrence Welk tunes, songs by Benny
Goodman, and Frank Sinatra favorites. Peter, Amelie, Leah, and I all took turns on
the dance floor, while offering dances to
the residents. Few residents danced, but
most were happy simply swaying to the
music, clapping their pon poms to polka
beats, and recalling fond memories of their
younger years. A special thanks to all who
helped make the Snow Ball possible and
helped make it the best dance Waterford
Senior Living has had thus far!!
