We are so close, yet spring still feels so far away! To keep our minds off the fact that there is still 3+ feet of snow on the ground, we have been busy attending the many programs offered right here at home...

| Afternoon at the spa is a new activity that has been well received by residents, especially during this extreme winter weather! Vibrant Living Assistant Anne Cavalieri shared her expertise and all were pampered with parafin hand wax treatments as well as short massages. We look forward to continuing this activity! |

Judith Kalaora of History at Play, brought us Tinsletown Inventor: Hedy Lamarr. What a fascinating show! We can't wait to have Judith back again for another enlightening program.
