Making greeting cards with a summertime theme was a great way to spend a summer afternoon with our dear friend. Our “Hello Summer” cards will be given to residents in the Memory Care and Assisted Living areas of our retirement community just to let them know we’re thinking of them.
Making the cards was an enjoyable visit for our Lady-Links and our dear friend, prompting many memories from when we were kids involved in summertime fun!
We shared memories of playing games such as Hide and Seek until it got dark. Our dear friend described the sandbox she had as a little girl and the fun she had in it. We laughed as we sang the “Summertime, Summertime, Summer, Summer, Summertime” song. That’s all we could remember…no one could remember any more of the words!
Making and giving away our summer crafts and cards makes us feel good, knowing that we’re delivering some of our love and laughter into the lives of others. Hello Summer! Hello Love! Hello Laughter! We’re having a great summer and hope you and your loved ones with cognitive issues are too.
