With our June destination being Tanzania, Africa, we didn't hesitate to learn about the culture! 🌍

Kabri, our Resident Program Assistant, taught us all about the traditional dish called Kachumbari. It's made from chopped tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers, often with cilantro, lime/lemon juice, and sometimes cucumber or avocado. 😋

Perfect as a salad or dip!

This past week our Dining Services Director, Charlotte, caught wind that it was National Chicken Salad Day! 😋

Charlotte didn't hesitate and whipped up two different types of chicken salad for our residents to enjoy.

These delicious snacks followed a demonstration of the recipe and origin! 🍽️ ✨

brought the summer vibes with a good old-fashioned cookout! 🌭🍔

Residents and families enjoyed classic favorites like hot dogs, hamburgers, fried fish, and all the delicious fixings while spending quality time together and soaking in the sunshine of great company.

We were also thrilled to welcome the Middle Peninsula Classic Cruisers, who rolled in with their stunning classic cars for everyone to admire — such a fun highlight of the day! 🚗✨

On Mother’s Day, our wonderful mothers enjoyed a highly requested special wine tasting! 🍷 ✨

The ladies enjoyed an afternoon filled with great company, delicious wine, and lots of laughter as we honored and celebrated them.
