❄️❄️January was full of energy, activity and plenty of ways to keep the winter blues away!

Trailside Farm proudly represented our community at the PA Farm Show, while Winter Storm Fern delivered a foot of snow and turned campus into a cozy winter scene.

We enjoyed wonderful musical performances by Quentin Jones and Jane Weik, and we were excited to welcome new residents this month.

Our calendar stayed busy with yoga, men’s billiards, game afternoons, sketching and drawing studio, trivia, happy hour, the ladies luncheon, and a lively Benevolent Care Bingo.

Dining Services kept us smiling with a wings and pizza pop‑up and a delicious Italian Night.

With so much happening, January proved that winter can be one of the warmest seasons here—thanks to community, creativity, and plenty of fun.

🎱 Men’s Billiards

The Men’s Billiards group continues to meet in the Wellness Center Club Room on Tuesdays and Thursdays, gathering for friendly games, skillful shots and plenty of good‑natured commentary from the sidelines. The atmosphere is relaxed and full of camaraderie—part strategy, part storytelling and part seeing who can pull off the smoothest bank shot of the day.

Laughter tends to travel faster than the cue balls and tall tales about “legendary shots” grow a little taller each week. Whether it’s debating the physics of the perfect break or celebrating a lucky bounce, the group brings a spirited energy to each session.

🍕 What a Great Pizza Pop‑Up Day at the Manor Café! 🎉

A big thank‑you to everyone who stopped by today for our Pizza Pop‑Up! It was wonderful seeing so many residents, staff and friends enjoying fresh, hot slices and a sweet treat.

Our Buffalo Chicken, Meat Lovers, and Classic Cheese pizzas were a hit — and the $8 combo with a drink and an ice cream novelty brought plenty of smiles! 🍦🥤

Dining Services loves hosting these fun food events and appreciates your enthusiasm and support. Stay tuned for more pop‑ups and tasty surprises coming soon! 😄

Good Morning!

Posting Monday evening’s sunset over the historic Buckingham Mansion gardens this morning because some beauty deserves a second debut. Starting the day with a little reminder that endings can be just as inspiring as beginnings. ✨

🎶 Yesterday’s melody is still lingering! 🎶

We were delighted to welcome guitarist Quentin Jones, who treated our residents to an engaging and heartfelt performance yesterday. His skilled playing and relaxed style filled the room with familiar tunes, toe-tapping rhythms, and plenty of smiles.

The combination of Quentin’s musical skill and experience has led him to work with some of the biggest names in the music industry. A seasoned musician and songwriter, he is a Hall of Fame guitarist and proudly holds a guitar endorsement from Gretsch, representing the company’s Panther guitar.
