Where in the World?

Serenity supporters are still being seen around the world. Most recently Carol Young, a Serenity volunteer from CCRI, went on a cruise to Mexico. While she was on vacation Carol made sure to take a picture in front of an old Mayan ruin for our “Where in the World” wall. Thank you, Carol!

Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits

Sometimes making desserts can be as much fun as eating them! Today Mary and Carol decided to have some fun making fruit and yogurt parfaits. And they were great!

If you’d like to make your own parfaits simply follow the directions below:

Ingredients:
6 ounces vanilla yogurt
4-6 strawberries, sliced
¼ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup pecans, chopped

Directions:
1. Layer 2 ounces of yogurt, 2-3 sliced strawberries, 1/8 cup blueberries and 1/8 cup pecans in a parfait glass.
2. Repeat this layering a second time. Top with remaining yogurt.
3. Garnish with a few chopped pecans and/or a strawberry if desired.

Take a look above at the picture of Carol and Mary working hard at making their fruit and yogurt parfaits!

Patriotic Hats

We’re in very high spirits for the upcoming Fourth of July! Today our volunteer from CCRI, Carol Young, came to Serenity to help out with more patriotic crafts. She helped us put together some fun, festive hats that we will wear to celebrate our Independence Day. All of the crafts we have made so far will certainly make the holiday an entertaining celebration for all of us; we’re looking forward to it!

Take a look at this photo of Carol as she works hard to make the perfect patriotic hat!

Welcome Carol Young!

Albert Einstein once proclaimed, “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” And this type of life is exactly what our new friend, Carol Young, wants to lead! Carol is a participant in the CCRI program and our newest volunteer at Serenity. She will come to Serenity once a week for about an hour to spend most of her time with Henrietta. Just this morning they were found entertaining themselves with an amusing puzzle!

Welcome, Carol Young!
