Clean Funny Senior Citizen Jokes: "The Old Days"

A grandpa was telling his young grandson what life was like when he was a boy. "In the winter we’d ice skate on our pond. In the summer we could swim in the pond, and pick berries in the woods. We’d swing on an old tire my dad hung from a tree on a rope. And we had a pony we rode all over the farm."
The little boy was amazed, and sat silently for a minute. Finally he said, "Granddad, I wish I'd gotten to know you a lot sooner!"

Easter Celebration

On Thursday March 28th we celebrated Easter with our annual Easter Celebration!


We couldn't do an egg hunt because of rainy weather but we had eggs filled with prizes and candy for everyone!


We also had a bonnet contest! How creative are these?

All of the bonnet contestants:

And the 1st place winner is CAROL!

2nd place winner is Charlotte!

3rd place winner is Valerie!!


The best part of our Easter Celebration is the egg drop. Contestants had to package an uncooked egg so that when it is dropped from the roof of our 4 story building, the egg doesn't break!

Waiting patiently for Mark to make his way to the roof:



The eggs flying off the roof:



Our favorite Social Services Coordinator surveying the damage to the eggs:



7 eggs were dropped from the roof, 4 of which DID NOT BREAK!! Pretty impressive guys! Thanks for a fun day, we'll do it again next year!
