We have a residents dinner every two months. Sometimes we have a theme to dress for. This dinner was a Spring theme as we are nearly there and the weather is already here. This dinner was a bit special because our usual chef was unavailable so the Catering Students from Rochedale High School, who usually serve us and help in the kitchen, actually cooked for us as well this month. They are supervised by their teachers.
As I have mentioned before we pick a number out of a container to find out which table we are at. We were lucky to sit with a friendly lot of residents that we knew well. Its a good system as everyone gets to know new residents. We have had a few in the last month. Unfortunately they take the place of those who had to move on to full-time care facilities. Our village is quite small compared to other retirement villages. We have 123 homes where as others have up to 400 or more. We are so glad we moved here 9 years ago.
