March Birthday Social

Featuring Lyle Stang



Yesterday we enjoyed our birthday social in celebration of our birthdays in March. This month was a busy month with a total of eight birthdays for the month. Not only did Lyle play the keyboard for us, but we also got to enjoy some electric guitar. Periodically throughout the hour he would ask us to "name that celebrity!" He would play a clip of a famous person, and we would have to guess who it was. We also got to enjoy some more Irish music! We can't wait to see what's in store for our next birthday social!

Fowler's Chocolate

Kelly from Fowler's Chocolate visited us on Monday so that we were able to buy chocolate for our loved ones and ourselves. While we were deciding whether to buy sponge candy, jelly beans, chocolate suckers, or chocolate bars, Kelly explained to us that this year Fowler's Chocolate would be celebrating their 100th anniversary! It was interesting to hear the story of how Fowler's has evolved over the years. We look forward to eating all of our chocolate candy!
