Blueberry Saskatoon Crisp
Today residents made Blueberry Saskatoon Crisp. They prepared it this morning and plan to enjoy it this afternoon.
Cucumber Harvest
We posted a picture of our garden a few weeks ago and shared that the residents would be enjoying the harvest. Here are the cucumbers harvested from that garden. Residents got to enjoy them with their lunch.
Spontaneous Bird Experience
Yesterday, we saw a little bird outside in the Simkin Courtyard. By the way the bird was acting, we thought it might be injured. Nurse Febin put his hand out and the bird climbed onto his hand and arm. He was able to show the bird to several residents before the bird regained its strength and was ready to fly away home. Residents were in awe and loved the spontaneous experience.
Trembling Like a Leaf in the Wind
Many of you may know that artist Susan Turner has had a long association with The Centre (and The Sharon Home) as an employee, volunteer, and family member. Her artwork can be found in The Centre and her husband Myron created the etched glass in the Stall/Gobuty Synagogue.
More recently, Susan was the curator for the synagogue exhibit at the Asper Campus. This video was produced and directed by Susan whose mother, Babe Hershfield, was a resident of the Simkin Centre from 2009 to 2011.
Thank you to our Spiritual Care Volunteers
Our Shabbat Services are conducted in our Stall/Gobuty Synagogue by Steven Hyman throughout the year. Residents enjoy being able to attend these services right in their own home. During the summer months, Steven takes some well deserved time off. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the following volunteers for stepping in during this time to conduct the services in his absence. A huge thank you to …..
Larry Fishman, Sid Halpern, Harvey Cohen, and Mel Hornstein. Your time and love for the Simkin Centre is so very much appreciated.
