Advised that this happens every A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan April began on a mu- sical note at Willow Creek Terrace, as residents and staff enjoyed the concert featuring the local Hand- Chimes group. Their har- monious sounds result from their weekly practices for their own pleasure and for appearances around the area. “We have chimes, will travel,” says George Nairns, who is one of the seven chimers. May 1 wasn’t filled with music, but it was filled with reminiscing for sever- al residents and a visitor. Everyone could remember making “May baskets” to secretly leave at neigh- bors’ doors, a gesture to bring sunshine into some- one’s life, to celebrate the coming of spring and “to see if you could get away with the surprise without being caught in the act.” (Sometimes, picking flow- ers from a neighbor’s yard for the construction-paper baskets was necessary and necessarily furtive.) “Do young people still do this?” everyone wondered. May also began with a full day of some music, some tasty foods, some laughter and some remi- nisces of family matters. May 5 celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Mexican music and menu items. It was also World Laughter Day, so jokes were flying and laughter rang out. (Read- ers are reminded that they can find some of the Ter- race jokes on its Facebook page.) And May 5 also launched National Family Week and daily discussions related to family. May 6 was Melano- ma Monday, a reminder to do a body check for suspicious-looking spots that warrant a second opin- ion. Although Monday has passed, today is not too late for checking oneself out. Next Tuesday will be a special day on the hill because the Terrace will hold its second annual High Tea Party. Every resident is invited to don his or her best party clothes and hat and attend the event with one invited guest. Featured at the decorated tables will be a variety of tea pots that once belonged to Alvina Padberg, who used to live at the Terrace. Next Thursday will see many teenagers at the Terrace, and they will be hard at work, unless taking a break over cookies and drinks with residents. Mus- tang Mop Up brings HHS students each spring, ready to take on the wish list of administrator Nairns. On Saturday, the 18 th , Raymond French will cel- ebrate his birthday with family and friends. All rel- atives of all the residents are also invited to come to the Terrace some time that day, National Visit your Relatives Day. Backyard Games Week will begin on the 20 th , so an outdoor game will be featured each day of the week, weather permitting. Also on the 20 th , discussion will focus on the 146 th birth- day of blue jeans. How old were you when you wore your first pair of jeans?

On the 23 rd , the resi- dents at the Terrace will host their local nurses for lunch, demonstrating their sincere gratitude for their services, on Nurses Appre- ciation Day. The next day, brothers of residents will be thoroughly examined during discussion on Broth- ers Day, surely with some laughter and probably some long sighs. John Wayne will be remembered on his May 26 birthdate, born Marion Robert Morrison in 1907, and a favorite of many movie-goers for years. May 27, Memorial Day, will render some serious discussion in the morning and possibly some visits to the neighboring cemetery, but it is also National BBQ Day, so everyone is hoping for sunny skies for the visits and for the outdoor lunch being planned. Norma French will cel- ebrate her birthday on the 29 th with friends and family, and the last celebration, of sorts, for the month will follow on the 30 th , when residents will be looking for flowers in their many planters, to make certain they are receiving the at- tention needed on Water a Flower Day. Nairns reports that a full house of residents is ex- pected as June rolls around, a reason for staff and resi- dents to look forward to the new month, and a reason to hire additional staff. And June 1 will bring closer the Rocking the Longest Day event on the 21 st , which will raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association by hosting individuals who will rock in chairs for peri- ods of time throughout the day and donate funds for the privilege. Plans are being made and a sign-up sheet is posted with the many open time slots. Anyone who is interested in rocking or who is willing to volunteer to help during the event can come to the Terrace or call 676-0004 to get signed up. Since the community on the hill looks forward to new neighbors joining their ranks and looks forward to events that bring visitors to the Terrace, everyone views the month of May and coming of June with enthusiasm.
