Helen couldn't wait to try a sip.

Henry was one big smile.

Anne enjoyed hers and meeting new friends.

George loved his.

Wally did too.

San Carlos Elms Starts to Remodel

After nineteen years San Carlos Elms is changing the look of the interior of the building.

We are starting with the third floor and working our way down to the first floor, each floor with its own look.

Thanks to all the great workers in the building, the residents, family members and staff for being so understanding it has been an exciting process to see the new buildings form take shape.

We all look forward to the finished project and look forward to share it with everyone.

This is a great picture showing the new colors with a hint of the old rose color on the left.

 

San Carlos Elms Goes to The Famer's Market & Dinner

Last night we enjoyed a walk to the Farmer's Market on Laurel St.

We nibbled on some of our favorite fruits before listening to the live music at the park.

After we were done with our appetizers and dancing it was time for dinner.

We had a wonderful time laughing and eating a magnificent meal at Piacere's right on Laurel St.   

 

Helen showed off her moves when the music started.

Nelly had a few moves too.

 

All smiles when the music comes on.

Shirley always enjoys a glass of white wine with dinner.

Thank you Piacere's for a lovely evening.
