Eatonia Oasis Living - December 2009December 22, 2009 Merry Christmas from all of us at EOL. The residents keep warm inside by taking part in decorating the Personal Care Home for the Christmas season. The residents decorated a tree with all decorations which have been made by the residents over the past few years. Thank you to Marie Smith who creates the great crafts that we are able to use to decorate the home. This month we celebrated the birthdays of Sheila Ferguson (December 6), and Frank Longridge (December 15). Our monthly party was December 11, and thank you to the United Church ladies for your gifts for the residents and very delicious cakes. Berneice Wagner moved in at the end of November for a respite stay, the staff and residents are enjoying visiting with her. At the End of December we have a total of 21 residents at EOL. We also enjoyed our regular activities this month which included daily morning exercises, the always popular balloon badminton game, Wii bowling (thank you John Stevens (age 7) for bowling with us!), manicures, bingo, “guess the word” game, and watched a Christmas movie called “The Santa Trap” which was enjoyed by all. The residents also attended the Lutheran, United, Catholic, and Christian Fellowship church services. On December 21st some of our residents enjoyed a Christmas Lighting tour around Eatonia, thank you Glen Wagner and the Town of Eatonia for arranging the tour with the Handi-van. As a special activity on Christmas Eve the residents decorated cookies to enjoy over the Christmas holiday. The residents and staff at EOL created a Football Pool to celebrate the Grey Cup. The winners are: 1st quarter - Holly Pincemin $10.00 2nd quarter - Kara Richardson $15.00 3rd Quarter – Holly Pincemin $25.00 Final - Frank Longridge $50.00 EOL is currently in need of another freezer for our busy kitchen.
