This week at the Manor Shoppe!

🐰Preparing a special meal and need ideas? Try the Manor Shoppe. We have a great selection of Stonewall Kitchen sauces and jams. For example, the Salsa Verde is a wonderful accompaniment to grilled meats, fish and poultry. The Chicken Marsala Simmering Sauce cooks well with chicken and pork. The Lemon Herb Aioli is bright and zesty with a smattering of garlic, dill and tarragon. It is perfect with crab cakes, salmon and asparagus.

For dessert, nothing is easier than ice cream with a special sauce such as the Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce, the Coffee Caramel Sauce or the Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Sauce.

All are available in the Manor Shoppe and are from Stonewall Kitchen. The Manor Shoppe is open Mondays, 9 AM-3 PM; Tuesdays-Fridays, 9 AM-1 PM and on Saturdays, 11 AM-1 PM and is located in the Freeman Community Center.

Learning theatre as an activity in a senior living setting offers residents a delightful and enriching experience. Through workshops and classes, they explore various aspects of theatre, such as acting, scriptwriting and stagecraft. This learning process not only stimulates their minds but also encourages creativity and self-expression. Residents often discover hidden talents and gain confidence as they immerse themselves in the world of theatre. A new component to this year's Artful Connections, check out our residents already learning their lines! 🎭

Special thanks to our Mt. Gretna neighbors Don and Vicki Kensinger for presenting this fascinating program today on Navajo rugs! We are delighted to offer life-long learning opportunities on a variety of topics.

When avid Navajo rug collector, Don "Stone" Kensinger and his wife Vicki, moved into an idyllic Mount Gretna cottage in 2012, one of Pennsylvania's historic Chautauqua towns, they were given a mysterious item that had been handed down from owner to owner since the cottage had been built in the late 1800s. Casual conversations with new neighbors led to a multiyear, cross-country adventure as Stone began to uncover the connections between the original owner of the cottage, W. Theodore Wittman; the forested, lake-front town of Mount Gretna; and Stone's continuing passion
for the Diné and their weavings.

Eleven hundred miles separate the Navajo Reservation from Mount Gretna, PA. Despite this vast distance, numerous Navajo rugs have migrated to Mount Gretna. The stories associated with these wonderful weavings and their provenance are the topics of this presentation.
