Events create autumn fun
With her hands guiding the wool,
resident Caroline Deinema (left

yarn on her various wheels for
residents and guests during the
Fall Festival. One of the wheels
is a family antique that her
husband’s grandmother owned.
People also started their holiday
shopping as local vendors
provided everything from baked
goods to soaps and jewelry.
Baking: a delicious fall tradition!
Residents delighted their senses
with peeling, baking, and
enjoying apples bars.
TOUCHMARK AT ALL SAINTS
A popular activity at Touchmark
is the Welcome Tea. Residents
gather and meet the newest
members of the Touchmark
family.
With Christmas and the holidays
right around the corner, residents
made handmade ornaments
for the resident Christmas tree.
Later, they gathered to decorate
the festive tree. Each year,
Touchmark decorates more than
31 trees.

Celebrating the
possibilities
“‘Why not’ is a slogan for an
interesting life.” – Mason
Cooley, professor and aphorist
Year’s end brings a time
for reflection and shared
memories. All of the holidays
and holy days for people of
faith have celebratory events
and traditions. Often the
gifts of the spirit, friendships,
family relationships,
victories, and losses are
remembered.
As 2014 approaches, many
ponder, “What’s next?”
Perhaps the better question
is, “Why not?” Things on the
bucket list might be due for a
move to the action list.
Moments of Pride Curio
Healthy aging means
nurturing curiosity, passion,
and imagination. Lifelong
learning, community service,
volunteerism, adventures,
and new beginnings are
characteristics of Touchmark
champions.
To learn more about
champions and share your
individual talents, strengths,
and skills, contact a member
of the Full Life team.
Continuing to grow and
succeed in self-determined
goals is the essence of active
aging.
Now on display is the original
Emigration Certificate of Elsie
Buehner’s grandfather and the
confirmation paper of Elsie’s
grandmother.
Tree holds thoughts of thanks
With the holidays coming, people wrote down thoughts of gratitude on paper leaves and placed them on
the THANK{FULL} tree.
