Last, but not least, the Cribbage Tournament!
Brenda, our Activity Director was the moderator for the 24 players vying to see who could get the highest hand total over the course of the day. There were 7 winners who received various gift certificates to local area businesses.
We hope to see you next year as Brenda says she wants to do it again!
Grace Lodge residents are looking forward to the fair that starts tomorrow! We are bringing whomever desires to go and plan on having a fun time. Our Activity director Brenda is running a bridge tournament for the Oneida County Department on Aging and it looks to be good fun with lots of nice prizes. The tournament starts at 2:00 PM and runs until is finished. Hope to see everyone there.
We are finnaly harvesting some produce from our little garden! We have picked about 8 cups of green beans and 10 yellow cherry tomatoes. Not too bad since we only have 2 bean plants!
Here are some pictures.

One of the residents at Grace Lodge, Ruth, received a bouquet of flowers last week with an extra surprise! Attached to the bouquet was a Monarch butterfly cocoon! The cocoon is the greenish blue thing hanging at the bottom of the flower arrangement. The instructions given said that the butterfly would emerge from its home in a few days. Once it dried off it’s wings it was to go to the top of the bouquet and then be transferred outdoors so that it could go free.
Here is Ruth the day she received it

The residents of Grace Lodge enjoyed the lunch outing at Pat’s Garden in downtown Rhinelander. Check out our activity calendar to see when the next lunch outing is!
Here are a few pictures.
Our population at Grace Lodge is growing older every day. (aren’t we all!) In order to accommodate this fact we have started playing Dominos. You think that Dominos are not for seniors? Think again!
We have purchased some large format Dominos and the residents can enjoy Dominos again!
July 4th was a very wet day, so we could not light off the fireworks then. The next dry day was July 6th, so that is when Grace Lodge had our very own fireworks display!
Here are a few pics for your enjoyment!
The residents at Grace Lodge enjoyed a concert at the park on June 30th. Music was provided by Jim Pekol’s Bridge Street Dixieland Review. The weather was beautiful here in the Northwoods and the music was great!

Grace Lodge has had a lot of fun with our Wii gaming system! The residents mostly enjoy bowling. In fact, they enjoy it so much that they bowl every Wednesday!
Here are some pictures!
