Will This Weather Hold?

If Punxatawey Phil sees his shadow and forecasts that we have six more weeks of winter this year no one will be very upset. The winter has been so mild…in fact, January was the ninth warmest January on record…with an average temperature of 31 degrees. Even more exciting than the warm weather has been the lack of snow…all winter we have only received 31.8 inches of snow! We could only be so lucky to get six more weeks of weather just like that! While we are all enjoying our weather, even more so, most of our residents are enjoying following our Syracuse University Men’s Basketball Team this year. Currently we are ranked number 2 in the nation and we hope we can get to Number 1 again. So far we have only suffered one loss. All SU fans have high hopes as we head into some tough competition in February that will (hopefully) lead us to a good position for March Madness! Moving on the football, the SuperBowl is coming up and we will be having a party in the Main Living Room at six o’clock. Come down and join the festivities and watch the game (and commercials) with the crowd! There are a lot of fun activities slated for February and it would be great to see lots of people at all of them, so come on out and join the fun…the more, the merrier!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The year 2012 has arrived. And with it came the snow! While many people hoped the snow would never arrive, just as many people were excited to see the world outdoors covered in white. When the sun is glistening on the snow covered ground it is a really beautiful sight to see! It makes us all realize what a wonderful world we live in, as long as we don’t have to go outside too much! We all know what comes along with the New Year…New Year’s Resolutions. It is interesting to see what people’s resolutions are and if they follow them throughout the year! January will bring a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, a return to the normalcy that everyone needs. The activity calendar is full of our regular activities that will be keeping us busy through these cold, wintery months. We also have each other to keep us company during the long season!

And we are all ready to be jolly! With Thanksgiving past and Christmas right around the corner it is time to sit back and enjoy all the wonderful things the season has to offer. This coming month is full of wonderful things to do, lots of Christmas concerts of all sorts, including boy and girl scouts, church choirs, trips to Lights on the Lake and to see downtown Syracuse. Keep an eye out for new additions to the calendar, there will be other events added! While we are all really looking forward to the upcoming festivities, there is one thing that we can definitely wait for, that four letter word…SNOW. As long as Mother Nature wants to give us these mild days, we will take them with pleasure! The activities this month will certainly keep everyone busy and we will end the month in style with a wonderful Prime Rib Feast and Christmas Party to celebrate the holiday! We hope to see you all there!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it is a wonderful opening to the holiday season! We all are lucky to have so many things to be thankful for and the blessing of loved ones around to spend time with. One small thing we all have to look forward to and be thankful for is the extra hour of sleep we can all get on November 6th when we “Fall Back” for Daylight Savings Time. Make sure you set your clocks back an hour before you go to bed on Saturday, November 5th! Now that most of the leaves have fallen and the weather is turning cooler and there may be some bad weather in the forecast, it is time to settle in for the winter. The warmth of the holiday season makes up for the cold outside. On the day before Thanksgiving Park Terrace will host a fun and festive Traditional Thanksgiving Feast. This is a wonderful day of Family and Fellowship that we look forward to every year. In addition to that, there are a couple of lunches out this month, a music show performed by the daughter of one of our residents and a ceremony on Veteran’s Day to honor all of our Park Terrace Veteran’s. There are also lots of regular daily activities planned and “the more, the merrier” so please join us!

October is such a beautiful month in Central New York. All month long we can enjoy the bright yellows, oranges, and reds that Mother Nature sends our way. The colors of the trees definitely make our scenic rides a treat each week. We have all month to look forward to Halloween and think up a great costume to wear to the Park Terrace Halloween Party. Now that the weather is getting colder and a little more unpredictable our trips outside the building will be fewer. We will still have scenic rides and shopping trips and lunches out…this month we will be going to the Canal Walk Café and Chili’s. Inside, Park Terrace will still have lots of activities to keep us all busy and having fun. Please join us for activities…the more the merrier!
