Every year February is time for Country Fair at NTM HOMES. Though the weather this year was a lot cooler than it generally is folks put on a jacket and went out to watch or participate. Horse shoes, shuffle board, and Top Toss were outside. Indoors there were darts, Wii bowling, and billiards going on.
About mid-morning I was glad to see that the baking competition had a good display of products made from coconut. Folks were welcomed to try anything and judge them. After the first try I thought I might have to try some of them again just to be sure which one was best!! But Les assured me that one taste was enough:).
Many of our residents find that they have more physical limitations and more aches and pains than last year. It is tempting to stay at home and dwell on what they can’t do. As a staff we try and plan events that will encourage people to get out and spend time with each other. When we laugh together our burdens get lighter. God’s Word says “A joyful heart is good medicine”. Judging by the smiles and laughter the day was a great success.
