August 23rd was a beautiful, sunny, blue sky day! What better time to get outside with friends and neighbors to play some bocci? Some played, some cheered, some just sat on the swings and chatted! Everyone enjoyed the gorgeous day.
On August 16th The Williamsport Home Apartments hosted a meeting of World War II Vets that was sponsored by the Williamsport Vet Center. We are very lucky to have several World War II Veterans living on campus. Pictured from left to right are: Laurie Maynard, Al Brown, Andrew Johnson, Claire Keefer, Wilson Redka, Paul Seaman, Don Koons, Bob Creveling and Bob Folmer. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to these fine individuals and their comrades in arms for all they sacrificed for our freedom.
Summer is a beautiful time on The Williamport Home Campus with lots of flowers and growing things. Here is a sampling of our green thumbs with some help from Lady Di's floral service on the areas around the Skilled Nursing Facility. Sun flowers and Pumpkins are courtesy of resident Tillie Houseknecht!
Every August The Williamsport Home Apartments have a campus wide picnic under the "big top" tent. This year however, with all the rain and storms we had to relocate inside. Each building had their own "cook-in" with Shrimp coctail, hamburgers and cheese cake. Everyone still had a good time but we are hoping for better weather next year.
One of the reasons many people do not want to give up their home and move to a senior living situation is to not have access to the outside, or have a yard. One of the great reasons to come and live at The Williamsport Home Apartments is you DO have access to the outside with beautiful grounds, lots of wildlife and if you like flowers you can have some!! Gladys Dapp loves flowers and knew she would miss her house and yard. But she has managed to make her patio beautiful! And we are all lucky to enjoy it with her. Many of our residents have potted plants on their balconies or small gardens on or near their patios... one more reason to love The Williamsport Home Apartments.
