It seems like I have been on a consistent blogging mode - trying to get something in every week, and then I realized that it has been 5 weeks since my last post. That is no good. So for a couple of updates:
Respite Retreat continues to be a boost for the community. Although our numbers are low, we know that this respite opportunity for caregivers will grow over time as word spreads about this wonderful twice monthly break. We always start with a project such as painting, coloring, creating home decor, or arranging flowers. This is often followed by music and singing or just interconnected conversation. We toss in a game like gin rummy or Yahtzee, games that are usually well known and fairly easy. We conclude with more conversation and plans for our next session. Two hours zips by in a flash.
We are now meeting the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month from 10am-noon at the Winnemucca Boys and Girls Club. This location has a wheelchair ramp right by our door and our gathering spot is quiet and secluded - ideal for our venture.
Please join us!!
