A View from the Hill
By Doris Brosnan
Residents and staff at
Willow Creek Terrace view
volunteerism as an impor
tant component to life on
the hill, and almost every
day of the week includes the
routine and welcomed visits
from area volunteers. This
month has also brought ad
ditional volunteer guests to
entertain and to work.
On last week’s “Mus
tang Mop-Up” day, a group
of 10 seventh-graders put
in a full day of hard work
with their teacher-assistant,
Jeanne C ollins, to help
spruce up the Terrace. Man
ager George Naims compli
mented the workers as an
other "great group” that left
behind greatly-appreciated
and significant changes.
Having the HHS choir
return on the S“1 with an-
other entertaining selection
of songs was a treat, and the
residents loved the concert
that the lone school choir
brought them on the 16th.
The Terrace staff is
good at thinking up en
tertainment, so the month
has also held many laughs
and activities provided in-
house. Limerick Day, on
May 12, is one example,
as some residents enjoyed
reading limericks, trying
to remember some from
years ago, and laughing at
Naims when she started a
limerick and too late re
membered the off-colored
ending rhyme. Laughs were
plentiful at exercises the
morning o f Dance-Like-
a-Chicken Day, the 14,h.
Between the Elmo doll
that dances like a chicken
and the staff members who
demonstrated their exper-
tise, the residents couldn't
decide which was more
entertaining.
Last week was National
Backyard Games Week,
so residents had daily op
portunities to participate
in “outside games,” played
inside because of inclem
ent weather. Players have
noticed that manipulating a
ball with a parachute takes
team work, golf takes indi
vidual finesse, and "bolo-
toss,” which involves toss
ing two golf balls connected
with a string toward three
bars, is difficult to master.
The community on the
hill celebrated Cinco de
Mayo w ith decorations and
a Mexican dinner. With
a big "thank you” and a
fruit pizza, it recognized
the hospital nursing staff
and the home-health nurs
ing staff during National
Nurses Week.
M other’s Day was a
busy day of visiting with
guests; Brother’s Day will
probably be a quieter day of
discussion and reflection as
residents think about their
siblings; M emorial Day
will surely see more visitors
at the Terrace and an oppor
tunity for some residents to
reminisce.
M arge Burgess will
get in on these and other
coming activities after re
turning to her apartment
earlier this week. Marge has
been missed during her two
months away.
R esidents w ill miss
their respite visitor Nona
Grace, who completed her
rehab stint and returned
hom e. B efore leaving,
however, Nona shared her
birthday with her temporary
neighbors and had about 10
friends in for that afternoon
check o ut these
o f celebration. Two days
later, on the 9th, Lois Allyn
and the other residents cel
ebrated her 84th birthday.
A few items from the
Terrace garden have be
come part of these birthday
lunches and other meals, as
volunteer spinach and let
tuce complement the salads.
Bud Batty and Naims have
completed the planting of
the garden, and Bud checks
almost daily for signs of
growth. Other sources of
garden harvest and foods
have come from Jerald and
Leann Rea, George and
Myrna Seiler, John and
Dorothy Edwards, Jack and
Jo Meligan, and the Odd
Fellows— more evidence
o f volunteer support that
is so important to Willow
Creek Terrace, support that
residents and staff view
with fondness.
