Crestview Highlights February 11, 2014

Greetings from the Crestview Residents

The weather has been very bad as of late, that we have been missing our trips to the Windsor center in Lundbreck. We normally go there once a month to play horse races and visit with friends. Now with the new hope of better weather we will coming to see them very soon.

The birthday party was a bit on edge as our entertainer had a bad mishap at home and was not able to come to Crestview. It was so very wonderful that the Schoenings were able to come up and play for us on such short notice. The residents enjoyed their enthusiasm and the music they played. Thanks again for coming to our rescue!


We received an invitation to come to the Pincher Creek Legion for their senior’s party. We could not pass it up. It was a great time with friends from all over. The legion supplied the food and drinks which we did enjoy too much. The music was so wonderful that some of us sang along. The afternoon ended with two of our residents winning door prizes. Many thanks to the Legion for their wonderful hospitality.

Yvon Lebel, a very well-known photographer, came to Crestview to present us with a side show of his work. His photos can be seen in geographic magazines and around our area. Yvon also had a showing at the Lebel Mansion not long ago. It was beautiful and breathtaking show. All the residents were thoroughly pleased with all they saw. Yvon stayed to chat with many of the residents which made it all even more of a treat.

 We also were treated to some Scottish dancers coming from Lethbridge to entertain us near Robby Burns Day. The dancers came from a senior’s center not unlike our own Huddlestun center here in town. Their age range was around 60 and they danced the traditional dances near reminisce of a square dance. They were an absolute treat to watch and we hope to see them again.

Our coffee outing to Vista Village was wonderful as we were able to see some old friends. We were warmly greeted with friendly hugs by Cathy Klein the activities coordinator for that day at Vista. The residents also were able to visit with more friends in the community as Whispering Winds also joined us at Vista. That was wonderful afternoon with everyone. See you all again soon.

Pub night was a blast! We had Mary Resek come in from Calgary. She sang Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn favorites. She was fantastic! It was a real treat to have a woman entertaining all by herself. We did wish it could have been even longer!
