Let’s Pig Out!

Today is the day! It’s time to Pig Out for Parkinson’s at Cox Bros. BBQ to support the Meadowlark Hills Parkinson’s Program. Join us as we raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Michelle Haub, Parkinson’s Program Leader, and the members of our Parkinson’s Core Team will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30 to 9 p.m. to educate people who stop by about PD and the services offered by the Parkinson’s Program. Cox Bros. will donate 10 percent of the sales from this day to the program.

The Olympiad has been a lot of fun so far, with teams showing their competitive spirit in an attempt to earn points!

Continue tracking your physical activity on the Week Two tracking sheets, which will be due at the Hospitality Desk or Caul Fitness Center by 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 26.

The Sudoku Puzzle Challenge will be Monday April 25. Puzzles can be picked up at the Hospitality Desk. Each participant can complete a puzzle, with one point being earned per puzzle. The resident and employee who correctly complete their puzzle in the fastest time will earn a prize!

The Olympiad has now begun and all participants should be recording their physical activity on the tracking sheets. Week One tracking sheets will be due by 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 19. They can be dropped off at the Hospitality Desk or in the Caul Fitness Center.

It was one of those days when the wind wasn’t blowing a gail; so I took a walk to the pond to see if there was any evidence of early wild flowers. There were many small sprouts, so we should have many blooms in May. On the way back I cut through the stillman trail to the quary trail on a path which is mowed and easily walked. There were purple blooming ground plum and prairie parsley (a fern plant with small yellow flower). Both these plants are safe to eat, the parsley tastes like celery and when the plum appear they are good in salads.
