We all wore our Easter Bonnets throughout the morning, The Easter Bunny had even made a stop here at the Nurs ing Home and left all of us an easter . egg. Several of the residents were able to go home with family or friends to celebrate this wonderful holiday. Monday, April 20th started off "Activation Awareness Week." This was certainly a busy week for the residents. Monday was titled 'It's Never Too Old to Learn Day." We discussed prices of today's - groceries. Mostly everyone was up to date with the prices but there were a couple of the ladies that were astounded with the inflation of to- day. Afterwards a Microwave demonstration was shown. A lot of the ladies were surprised at what a difference a microwave is from a conventional oven. Later in the afternoon Mr. about "Wills," "'Residents Rights," and then had a Question and Answer _ Period. The majority enjoyed this event as Mr. Davies answered a lot of their- longtime unanswered questions. Tuesday was designated 'Ability Defeats Disability Day."
