Summerford Nursing Home and Rehab staff, residents and visitors enjoyed each day’s activities during National Nursing Home Week, with special foods as well.  

The last day of the celebration was May 14. Everyone enjoyed the morning and afternoon talent shows, pizza, lemonade, orange punch and ice cream.

The winners were: first place, the grand finale vocal and dance group; second place, Ruby Bailey, who lifted the rafters with the song “Crazy;” third place, Kelsey Wooten, with a tap dance routine to the song “Cotton Eye Joe;” and fourth place, the staff organizers doing a Super Bowl Halftime Commercial tied with Becca, Rhonda and Barbara in Las Vegas style, performing a rousing “Proud Mary” – and everyone did a singalong!

God bless all our veterans  

I would greatly appreciate it if everyone would please remember to shake the hand of a veteran and thank them for their service!  

I pray that we never forget that by God’s grace and the sacrifices of all of our brave young women and men that our great country still maintains the freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

My late grandfather served in the Navy during World War II, and my late dad served in the Korean War!  

God bless all of our veterans!
