The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

North East England Presentation

North East England Presentation

Claire Watson shared stories and photos of her English hometown, Tynemouth, during her presentation at Ferris Hills last week.

It was a full house and residents enjoyed hearing about the North East of England's weather, food, history and local landmarks.  The Priory Castle, Collingwood's Monument, North Shields Fish Quay and the Long Sands were explored with a quick tour around the local pub.

The beautiful town of Tynemouth rests on the North Sea coastline and is filled with stores, coffee-shops and restaurants with dramatic views.  Its history dates back to an Iron Age settlement and is steeped in history making it a hit with tourists.   

Enjoy the photos below by Claire's husband, Michael Francis.
