Dr. Smoller shared his passon for teaching about wine with Clark Meadows.  Our residents were enthusiastic participants as Bruce regaled us with his knowledge on wines from France and the various regions that produce the grapes that make the different varietals. It was a real treat for our residents and the staff were quite jealous.  The picture of Terry and myself was posed.  We did not imbibe!

Local artist, Benji Carr, was on site to show his latest project to our residents.  The Ghost of Roseland sculpture is his latest commissioned piece.  He brought the model to show us how it will look and explained that there will be moving parts.  What a thrill for our staff and residents to get this up close and personal presentation of such an exciting project.  The discussion brought out a lot of reminiscing about Roseland Park.  So many of our residents grew up in Canandaigua and Rosleand Park was a big part of their youth.  The art reflects the history of our town and the importance that the park played.  Pat Rini Rohrer, gallery owner and Art Tuppen, Canandaigua local, were two of our enthusiastic audience participants.  They are photographed here with the artist.

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.
