What’s Going On in May? In store for us this May: Mother’s Day memories on the 6th. Tea for two, “or three or four, or more,” poems, stories and art activities to honor the moms we had, and the moms some of us are. Flowers, fun and fine dining, so mind your manners, like your momma said! Wednesday May 18th finds us doing the salsa dance in Latin America, from Mexico to Brazil to Peru and all and in between. Ole!
The air is filled with the lively music of Michael and Paul.

Touring the ice cream shop: Vanilla bean, rum raisin and a puppy
Ted’s favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough.
And she could probably eat some while riding her bike.
Marc’s vanilla bean looks like mountain snow.
The place where we got it was called “Ultimate.”
Dennis enjoyed his fancy rum raisin.
We played with a puppy there, and Bill got bit.
Barbara’s Belgian chocolate cone was amazin’.
How can someone get hurt when we go for ice cream??
Someone ordered Heath bar, but got coffee instead,
And Ted answered “Well, it might be time to scream.”
While I spilled my strawberry on Geraldean’s head!
(note, Bill’s sister Sybil was there too, and assures me that Bill didn’t really get bit, we’re just using poetic license, our imaginations fueled by a really good treat!)
Alan says these are treats that his wife would like

Participant SPOTLIGHT
Mel Soles
Leslie Capps, one of our Lead Program Guides, shares her thoughts of Mel: “One of my favorite encounters of my friend Mel was when I was working the in the lobby. He walked over, sat on his walker seat in front of me and we began to chat. Then he told me to take off my glasses that they were crooked. A little surprised at this request I was happy to oblige as I was curious to see why. Mel explained that he was an Optometrist and took pride in helping people see better. Mel is a kind soft spoken gentleman and it is a delight to have him in our program.”
After earning his Doctorate in Optometry, Mel joined the army where he served for 28 years and rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel. Mel and his wife, Martha, raised three children, two daughters (the eldest, now deceased) and a son. The family has great memories of living in Germany and camping in the forest. The Soles recently attended a Givens Estate affair, “Spring Fling,” where they enjoyed a three-piece band, wine and hors d’oeuvres. Music brings back our memories and Mel’s wife recalled that while a high school student, Mel sang in a double-quartet, placing high in state competitions.
On right: Last month’s Literary Celebration gave us the opportunity to combine the written word with the visual arts. We explored Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, Charles Dickens’ The Adventures of Oliver Twist, Herman Melville’s Moby Dick and more great works.
