Happenings in May!
Here are a few pictures of happenings around Country View lately! Another busy month!
We had a surprise baby shower for Kristal, a caregiver here at Country View who is due in June! She received many beautiful things and was very surprised! Here's a blanket that Carol made for her!
This month, we also went on the Flushing River View walk. It was a very nice nature walk, we even saw a large turtle on the river sunning itself on a rock!
We also experimented this month - making homemade ice cream! We used special bags and with a mixture of vanilla, ice, cream and sugar - voila! Ice cream! It was better than store bought!
And another successful year with the balloon launch! We'll update if anyone found our balloons and told us how far they went!
Just today, the residents went back to the For-Mar Nature Preserve. They made some plants to take home, made a owl out of CDs and foam and got to pet a snake! How exciting!

Cinco de Mayo!
May 5th is Cinco de Mayo, observed by Mexican communities in Latin America and Mexican-American communities in the United States in commemoration of the 1862 defeat of French troops at the Battle of Puebla. So we celebrated the Mexican way! We ordered out lunch at the new Mexican restaurant in downtown Flushing, the food was really good! The dining area was decorated for the fiesta and authentic Mexican music was playing to set the mood. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
