Mr. Grasshead

A smile is one of the simplest pleasures in life. Today a few of us here at Serenity had a lot to smile about as we made Mr. Grasshead projects. Once we had gathered a group of ladies looking for a fun way to spend the afternoon we began by filling nylons with grass seeds and potting soil. After the nylons were filled with enough dirt to make a round ball-shape we decorated this figure to look like a funny face. Once the initial projects were finished we watered them so that the grass will grow to look like hair. It was such a fun way to enjoy the afternoon. Just take a look below at a few of the funny Mr. Grassheads that we made!

Art Frees the Mind!

The artist John Updike once suggested, “What art offers is space – a certain breathing room for the spirit.” And this space is exactly what some of the ladies of Serenity needed as we made craft projects today. About seven ladies from Serenity painted a few small clay pots which were then strung up and made into wind chimes. The bright colors certainly cheered all of us up and we had a great time chatting, laughing and painting. When the pots were finally dry we had enough beautiful pieces to make four wind chimes which will be hung around Serenity to be enjoyed throughout the summer months… But that is only if our RN, Jodi, doesn’t decide to borrow one! Once Jodi discovered what we were up to, she slyly hinted that she would really like one of the completed wind chimes. So we had better all keep an eye on Jodi or she just might take one!

Take a look above at Claryce, Henrietta and Arlene T. as they paint a few of the beautiful pots! Below is a group shot of the whole gang finishing up their projects.

This One's for the Birds

To celebrate the national 'Great Backyard Bird Count,' our ladies at Serenity spent the afternoon making yummy treats for the birds around Serenity!

Love Bugs

Today we made love bugs! They were cute little bug-gers! Pictured here is Claryce Stohle and her adorable creation.
