We were busy part of the week & quiet part of the week – having multiple transportation-related issues but we are working on it!
Herman and Gael both had birthdays last week, Happy Birthday to them. We started working on the pine cones, look for pictures of that next week.
The group worked on laying down newspaper & mulch under our invisible sign so we can put a ground cover garden in. Here’s Amy working on that:
Amy and the mulch
Joann came to see us on Wednesday and brought some gifts, including new karaoke CDs, so we got the karaoke machine out and gave it a whirl. It was fun, we may pull it out again for our holiday party!
Karaoke!
The pine shatters are neverending so we did more raking. First is a group raking shot, followed by our new member Herman helping out.
Raking, raking, raking
And more raking!
We also had meatloaf, baked corn, rolls, sweet potatoes & cake. The cake was in honor of Isaiah’s birthday, and here’s a picture of him working on the meatloaf: 
We had our monthly outreach visit to the GF Horne Assisted Living Community with Sensei’s exercise group (partially funded by the United Way of the Eastern Shore). When we got back to the building, Isaiah’s cousin Pastor Alice Collick had left us bags of gifts from our wish list, courtesy of the Rehoboth Temple Community Outreach Ministry. There was a blender, a wisk, a colander, a skillet, a cutting board, and a rolling pin – THANK YOU!!! 
And finally, here is a “before” picture of the pine cones that fall in our yard. Check back to see the “after” picture as we are getting ready to transform them into lovely holiday decorations for area nursing homes and assisted living centers. Happy Halloween!!
