Save the Date in 2016! 1/5 1/8 1/10 1/22 Walk Outside - West Courtyard Take A Ride Sing-a-long with Newell Orr Resident/Staff Talent Show Exercise Your Brain We all know the benefits of physical activity, but don’t underestimate the importance of giving your brain regular workouts, too. Studies have found that exercising the brain enhances memory, reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, and improves concentration. In honor of International Brain Teaser Month, build your brainpower with some of these fun activities: Word games. Reach for crossword puzzles, jumbles, word searches or riddles to enhance mental fitness. Number games. If numbers are your thing, give Sudoku, sequence puzzles or math riddles a try to keep your brain fit. Memory games. Remember the card matching games you played as a child? They’re beneficial for adults, too, and a great way to play with grandchildren. Strategy games. Chess, checkers, Connect Four and Tic-Tac-Toe are just a few games that can give your brain a boost while you spend time with a friend or family member. Reading. Already a popular hobby for many, reading regularly is a good way to maximize your mind. This list is just the beginning. If an activity requires you to think, make it a regular part of your routine, and keep your brain brilliant! 2 From the Desk of ... What’s Happening?

Also, THANK YOU for contributing to the Employee Gift Fund; your generosity was greatly appreciated. We are continuing our Throwback Thursdays, so keep those pictures coming! If you have not contributed a younger picture of yourself, please do so. We love “stumping” some of our residents and staff members. In the Multipurpose Room, we are going to start a “Jar of Happiness” for the new year. Every day, think of something that made you happy. It could be something that happened that very day, but it could really be anything. Be truthful to yourself; the simpler things that delighted you are often the happiest moments. The jar and slips of paper will be on the activity desk. We will read the slips of happiness on Dec. 31st, 2016.

Along the way they had 4 children. They were both very involved with their ranching industry. Vangie was a realtor who specialized in farm & ranch properties. She was a member of the first national stewardship program for rangeland started by Sen. F. Church. She testified before a Senate Sub-Committee on wild horses. She was Farm Bureau wife of the year. Will was active in Farm Bureau and various state Associations for Cattlemen. He was inducted into the Eastern Idaho Hall of Fame which chooses only 5 people a year from all phases of agriculture in the state.
