Rainbow Village’s first yard sale of our new season was a big success. It was one way of getting out to meet your neighbors. Thanks to great planning from our security, the traffic flowed great through our resort. Everyone was greeted as they entered, and directed to where the goods were being sold. We look forward to our next yard sale.

Several of our ladies have taken up “Painting with a Twist” and have painted some nice paintings. They have two hours to compete their project, and claim they have so much fun they want to go back, and do some more painting.
Doug Jones, Harry and Judy Hersey, and Fred Darrow prepared Thanksgiving dinner. They did a great job of cooking the turkeys, preparing the dressing and making the gravy.
Each table of 12 residents prepared a dish to complete the turkey, dressing and gravy meal at their table.
The tables were beautifully decorated with fall flowers and decorations. It was a great time to be thankful for all our blessings!
Our manager, Sue Flynn, had two young girls, Alaina and Daina, Glenna Simpco’s granddaughters, decorate the placemats and fill the little cups with assorted candies to put at each place setting. They did a wonderful job decorating the table. We completed the day with delicious desserts, then home to relax and count more blessings.
At our ice cream social, the two young girls, Alaina and Daina, were given the pleasure of turning on the Christmas tree lights.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus arrived and surprised the girls with presents.
The residents at Rainbow just love when there are young people around. It ignites memories of their children and grandchildren.
The girls were full of smiles and giggles with Santa.
It is starting to look like Christmas at Rainbow Village, residents are decorating their homes and some of the upcoming Christmas events will be happening in the next couple of weeks.
We are looking forward to strolling up and down the lanes to see the decorations.
