San Carlos Elms started their morning with a great treat from Heidi's class from Brittan Acres School. Heidi has been coming to The Elms with her class for the past seventeen years, Thank you Heidi. Today the students brought their Halloween spirit in song, costumes and stories for our residents. Our residents also brought spirit in costume to the celebration this morning.

Billie is starting a painting during our memories in the making. Lida is showing off one of her paintings. Emmie loves to work with the color purple. Carol is concentrating hard on her painting.

We had such a great time watching the game today at The Elms in the Recreation Room. Some residents brought a bag lunch in to watch the game. It was awesome to see everyone that came into the building today sneak a peek at the game, it made it that much more enjoyable. Thank you Giants for keeping our community together through baseball. We love every minute of the TORTURE, especially the 9th inning today.                      Congratulations on being the first team in the NL to come back from 0-2 in NLDS.
