Summer Greetings from Heritage House of Blackduck, we have been busy here, building bird houses and having Birthday Parties. Jared the son of the House Manager has been coming in and doing crafts every Friday , the month of June we built, painted and decorated the Bird Houses shown here. Everyone had fun and the houses are decorating our dining room tables and rooms.

Watch next month to see what the project is for July! We celebrated the 84th Birthday of Pete on July 13th. We had balloons and Cake, and a good time was had by all. Pete sure looks excited to show off her colorful cake.

August is going to be just as busy we are going to have a float in the Blackduck Backwoods Bash. Watch for pictures of this exciting time. We also have a Cook out planned with the Senior Apartments in town; all will get together for some fun, food and conversation.

Heritage House of Blackduck invites you to stop on by and join in all the fun! See you next month!

GO BACK TO BLACKDUCK

Soon the summer will be gone and all the children will be back in school and I'm sure there are some parents who can not wait. The summer has been extremely hot and our Residents have been unable to spend much time outside due to it so all of a sudden one day they started playing cards and have continued ever since. Some days the same group keeps on going all day stopping only to eat. It is a great past time for them.

Kimball days is coming the weekend of the 13th through the 15th with much to do for all ages. We plan to be in the parade on Sunday in a horse drawn handicap accessible wagon. We are praying for the low 80's weather wise so our Residents can tolerate being outside.

We like to welcome to Heritage House Kathy Jensen, who moved in with us on the 31st of July. Kathy and her husband Bud (who is deceased) owned and operated Bud's Texaco and Kathy's Café in Kimball for many years and all of their children graduated from Kimball High School. We are so happy that she came back home to live.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and take care of yourselves.
Blessings.

GO BACK TO KIMBALL

It's been a rainy start to June, but is doing wonders on the vegetable and flower gardens. Our fishing trip we had planned for the 8th was cancelled due to rain, so we are hoping for a warm sunny day on the 22nd to plan our fishing excursion on Gull lake.

The lower lodge tenants had fun planting flower seeds in separate potting containers and marking them with their names to see whose grows the biggest and best, they are doing just fine! We had a first time performance from a One Woman Band, "Fran Gack", from Akeley, MN. She is also a member of the Frank Lamb Band, who also entertains at Heritage House, Fran plays guitar, mandolin and fiddle and sings. The tenants really enjoyed her performance.

Pictured is a photo of Fran playing her fiddle ioutside in the Lower Angel courtyard. Cathy Finn, our RN brought in her 5 month old grandson, "Garrett", and showed him off to our tenants. Garret is shown in the arms of Jean Brown, one of our tenants. What a little bundle of joy !! Will close for now and keep you posted on the results of our upcoming fishing trip. Pray for sunshine !

GO BACK TO PEQUOT LAKES

Fresh watermelon and cantaloupe at breakfast will make anyone smile.

We've also been enjoying some wonderful concerts at Heritage House. The "Singing Grandmas" have entertained us with songs from the good old days and their unique brand of humor. Denny and Elaine Carlson, playing the stand up bass and guitar, get toes tapping with country and rockabilly songs. It's so good to hear the residents singing along and enjoying the music.

The staff is putting together a "Baseball Day" for our residents for the end of August. All the meals have a baseball theme. All of our activities for the day will be baseball related. The residents are looking forward to pitching strikes to the staff and calling them out during a game of baseball.

Next time you're in Sebeka, stop in to visit us. The coffee is always on and we love company!
