After learning about the different kinds of tortoises in our Animal of the Day chats, Lone Mountain residents finally got to meet them in person. Their favorite part was feeding them carrots and petting them. Who knew tortoises loved affection 🐢❤️?
Our residents put on their chef coats 🥼 for this one! Miniature Pineapple Upside Down Cakes 🍍🍰! We whipped up the cake batter, melted the butter & brown sugar together, carefully placed the pineapple slices & cherries, & popped them in the oven. Once they baked & cooled, ...Marilyn flipped them out & enjoyed the treat! Dave, our community's biggest dessert & wine connoisseur, requested we make these for #Bakeology this week because they are one of his comfort foods 🍽️ He even offered his taste-testing services to us! 5 stars, he said! We're so happy to give you a sneak peek into our future cookbook👩🏻🍳
Residents at Las Palomas took over Osaka Steakhouse in Mesa. Oh, what a show they put on for them! They laughed so hard at everyone attempting to catch flying food and sake in their mouths.Some of them are trained seals 🤣 "Cheers!" Or, should we say, Kanpai 🍶.
The first-ever #CookieClash between The Oaks at Algonquin and Silver Glen was a success! Silver Glen’s team, “The Sons of Batches,” SOBs, battled out for a chance to get their chocolate chip cookie recipe featured at @uprisingbakeryandcafelith ! The two categories judged in this cookie clash ...were 1. #BestChocolateChip, and 2. #BestDecoratedSugarCookie. Our cookie, “Chip Off the Old Block,” a potato chip-based chocolate chip cookie, was a salty showstopper. We choose geodes-inspired cookies with edible rock candy and glitter for our sugar-decorated cookies. The battle was a tight race, and both teams came out on top due to a split decision. Come purchase The Oaks’ “The Chocolate Cherry Chew” at UpRising in February and our “Chip Off the Old Block” in March!

Another day another great outing🚌! A few of the members from our #TimeTravelers club took a trip to the History Museum today 🏛️ They walked through several different exhibits & decided their favorites were “Currents” and “Reflections”📜. Joyce was very excited to see a whole ...section devoted to Women’s Rights 👊🏻 & woman power 💪🏼! They both had fun pointing out photos that “looked like each other” and giggling throughout. Dougherty Ferry’s biggest historians continue to discover more & more!
The #SouthviewCrafters got a visit from a special friend last week ❤️ Anita, Doris, Laura, Jerry, Cuca, and Linda greeted little Millie with the refurbished pony they crafted for her.
Thank you to our Regional Director of Operations, Dan, and Lauren for bringing Millie! The ladies had ...a blast spending time with Millie!
Millie may not know yet, but her family has a lot of history with #Southview. Her dad, Dan, was raised in #Affton and helped open Southview 10 years ago! She also has a great-great-great aunt that has made #Southview her home for almost a year now!
