2016-02-23 07:20:37 PM kgates We could go on a fishing cruise, and look up all the different types of fish that we could possibly catch and see if they are good and how to cook them. Then make the recipes ourselves and have a fishing cruise luncheon. Invite the local police department to visit and have lunch. Talk about the cruises they have been on if any.
2016-02-23 07:20:40 PM timduvelsdorf94 we are having a senior prom again this year
2016-02-23 07:20:41 PM belindaf do they dress up?\

2016-02-23 07:20:50 PM chelcia I know the doctors at my facility will never ever write orders for alcohol for any of my residents. The virgin margarita for St. Patricks day is a great idea for the ladys.
