Hill View Manor summer
Residents continue to enjoy activities in Hill View Manor.

ESTEVAN - Residents at Hill View Manor have had lots of reasons to enjoy the summer.

June entertainment was courtesy of the Szakacs Family and Maggie, while the Caragana Ramblers, Wilma and Val, and Keith and Gary will perform in both June and July.

Father’s Day was in June, so the fathers and grandfathers from the home went to the Souris Valley Museum on June 14. They enjoyed exploring and viewing the historical items that were on display. Some family members joined the outing. Thank you to the museum for the coffee and cookies.

The SMILE Services Parade that kicked off the Energy City Ex. was once again enjoyed by residents. Some watched it from the big windows inside and others were outside.

We went out to Walmart for shopping and Fired up Grill for lunch on June 20. We also went to the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course on July 9. This is always very much enjoyed by the residents who attend. Residents were taken out on carts, and lunch followed the tour.

Our ice cream social for both months is another event that the residents and staff enjoy very much.

We had two birthdays in June. Henry Lischka celebrated his 95th birthday, while Ed Fischer turned 87.

Four residents have a birthday in July: Arnold Zimmerman (91), Mary Mack (94), and Mervin Wolgram and Winona Raiwet (88 for both). Happy birthday to all.

Many activities were planned for June and July for the residents. The first Wednesday of the month was Catholic mass, followed by the Trinity Lutheran communion in the afternoon. The first Thursday of the month was the residents' meeting, in which they give feedback on what is going on. The Gospel Chapel comes the third Sunday of the month. Non-denominational devotions for the residents are held Wednesdays in the late afternoon.

We also enjoy exercises, Bingo, card games, indoor curling, a large dice game, crokinole, bean bag toss and various board games, to list a few.

The Estevan Public Library book exchange is on the second Tuesday of the month.

 The last Friday of the month is loonie Bingo, followed by wine and cheese, or fruit punch for anyone not wanting wine.

We also said farewell to one of our residents, Millie Culbertson, who passed away at age 97. She will always be remembered for her unforgettable smile.
