I had always heard Meadowlark Hills is for older adults, but when I moved in, I found out Meadowlark Hills keeps us young.

House Warming Party
Last week we had a great turnout at the Hallway Party – A Small Meal with a Big Reveal! The big reveal was the official unveiling of the newly renovated Honstead and Sloan Houses in our long-term care living area at Meadowlark. These two houses are the oldest houses at Meadowlark – they turned 36-years-old in June!

With the oncoming week, predicting some cool down in the weather, now would be a good time to ride or walk for a visit to Leons Glen.
On a recent walk, I spotted a lot of different flowers. There was a lot of tiny white blossoms (fleabane) golden coreopsis and cone flower. There was a spiky purple verbena and small lavender puff balls on sensitive cats claw, bee balm and wavy leaf thistle.
On the upper path, lots of purple poppy mallow. When you visit, take your time and look into the Glen.
The Duggans are celebrating the 4th of July 2016 with our first-ever family camping trip! We are joining a group of our friends at the lake for a few days of fun, food and relaxation. But, we’ll be back for one of the best Independence Day celebrations in town, complete with music and fireworks right here at Meadowlark Hills.
Dear Meadowlark Hills Foundation,
Thank you for the beautiful award that Meadowlark was so kind and generous to give. I appreciate it very much. It is now prominently displayed in my office. Again, sorry I was unable to be there, but my absence did not diminish the honor or your thoughtfulness. Thank you again. All the best, Cam (McConnell)
P.S. Thank you for the great work you do!

The excitement was breath-taking. I had hired to work in a store! I would earn twenty cents an hour working at S.S. Kresge 5 and 10 on Saturdays.
Calling all men! The Meadowlark Hills, Men’s II Club are looking for new members to add to the current group of great personalities.

Holiday LIGHTS! Bring your CAMERAS! A variety of ACTION awaits when the Meadowlark Hills Travelers visit Oklahoma City and the Grapevine, Texas, area in early December. A five-day/four-night tour planned for Nov. 30 through Dec. 4 has been designed to put you in the holiday spirit by enticing your five senses. There will be twinkling lights and holiday exhibits to see, live performances to hear, locally made food and wine to smell and taste – Grapevine is aptly named! – and artisan-made items to touch.
Some days just sort of go along. Others are spectacular. Yesterday, for me, was a spectacular. No, I was not preoccupied with the colorful botanical effulgence that newly surrounds us.
I got to spend three hours watching dead trees! Concerning fallen trees, John Muir, the naturalist, explorer, and writer of Yosemite Valley fame, once remarked that "The burial of a tree is a beautiful thing." But let's begin with the standing dead.
