meaningful MOMENTS

During our monthly discussions about Meaningful Moments, Coni told us being “an artist” was on her bucket list. We made sure she got a reserved seat in Carol Ann’s painting class. She created a beautiful canvas of a lighthouse and was beyond excited (as you can see) by her completed work of art.
In another new painting workshop, Vullow, we reserved another spot for her to learn this new and innovative way of painting portraits.
As you can see from the pictures, she had an amazing time, and crossed another item off her bucket list!







meaningful MOMENTS

This month, we were able to provide Barbara with a meaningful moment. Barbara is from New York and loves the water, and of course lobster. We surprised her with her Daughter, Granddaughter, and her good friend Nancey, who flew in from New York. We all boarded a pontoon for a boat ride on the intercoastal and docked at a local restaurant called The Blue Drum for lobster. This is a memory that her and her family will cherish for a lifetime. I am very blessed to have witnessed the smiles, laughter, and enjoyment of this day.
