Gracewood of Hugo-Halloween

/

Halloween was a fun and busy day for the residents of Hugo.  In the morning, a group of preschool children from a local childcare center came trick or treating.  The residents enjoyed seeing the children dressed up in their costumes as the preschoolers were handed their treats. A few of the residents were also dressed in costumes.

          During the afternoon, the residents bowled using a pumpkin, listened to silly Halloween riddles and frosted pumpkin cookies for their snack.  Fun was had for all ages.

Gracewood of Hugo-Read Stories

/

Gracewood of Hugo has been fortunate to have the librarian from the Forest Lake library read stories to the residents once a month.  During her first visit, she read stories from a Minnesota author.  The residents recognized the familiar places in Minnesota.  In October, she read the story of Ichabod Crane.  We all gathered around the fireplace together as she read the spooky legend of sleepy hollow.

White Pine of Fridley-October

October has been a great month.  We have been staying busy baking fall treats with our baking club, watching the Vikings and World series, listening to country western music with Andy and cleaning out or flower beds to get ready for winter!  One of the local churches that provides mass brought one of their nuns to visit with. As of today, we are getting ready for our Halloween party!   Halloween is one of our favorites! Getting dressed up is so much fun!

Our Pumpkin Give Away Was A Smash!

   White Pine Inver Grove Heights celebrated fall by handing out free pumpkins to family, friends, and neighbors. We also celebrated with hot cocoa, hot apple cider and delicious cookies.  We were very lucky as the weather was perfect. It was a sunny, warm day, bursting with fall colors. The day was perfect for taking lots of pictures with friends, and loved ones, in our beautifully decorated gazebo.  A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, we loved having you visit with us.
