2018-04-03 06:37:53 PM doreenschaffer I need ideas on men who are mechanics or worked on electronics.

2018-04-03 06:42:29 PM kristenamrein @caryhernandez, tangram puzzles are pieces of construciton paper (usually tan, hence the name "Tangrams") that are cut out into goemetric shapes. They are then placed strategically on a page to make a different shape. Each shape has to be placed correctly or it won't work.

2018-04-03 06:49:54 PM doreenschaffer We have a common room/dining room. I replaced someone who was AC for 30 years. First thing I did was clean the place up and make room for resdients to come down for 1:1 or very small group activities. Yesterday 3 women came to get their nails painted. It was awesome. I love having that space for them. Tomorrow 2 members are coming down to play scrabble. It was a group activity yesterday and it went ok, but it was obvious those who wanted to play a real game. This gives them an opportunity to do so.
