Love was in the air on Valentine’s Day!

From our craft time with our 4-H Friends…

… to the Spearfish High School choir serenading us at lunch time

We all enjoyed the advice given to us by our residents!

We celebrated the new year… at noon!

And, ended the month with laughter and fun!! Nancy came and taught us ALL that we could do artwork like Picasso!

How sweeet is this? Our Dick J just hanging out on the floor with our sweet loveable Rowdy!

Where did this year go?! October, November and December filled our Home with sounds of singing, laughter, crafts and all around great memories!

We had an eventful July at Sandstone Senior Living! Summer finally made its appearance, and we are enjoying it! Among the many activities we enjoyed were: 6 birthdays, singing karaoke, and enjoying great conversation and donuts with our beautician!

On Tuesday, April 10th residents from Sandstone Senior Living toured the Matthews Opera House Art Gallery to view the BHSU Senior Art Exhibit.

On the way home, residents stopped for a sweet treat at Dairy Queen. They enjoyed some sun with their ice cream treats.
