Art Gallery Open House

For the last several months, we have been collecting art from our CCV Artists for the last several months. They have been displayed in our Art Gallery. Yesterday, we hosted an Open House and opened our doors to the public so that we could showcase the wonderful art to all of Hot Springs!

Chef William created wonderful snack trays.

The Sparkling Grape Juice was flowing!

We were elated to have Alisa and her beautiful harp back!

The snacks were perfect!

We had a great crowd!

A photographer from the paper was here, too.

The artists were on hand to answer questions.

Yum!

We enjoyed taking the time to look at all of the original art. It was so wonderful to be immersed in the fabulous art that was created by our own talented neighbors.

Congratulations to everyone who participated!

It's Freezing Outside, But It's Warm in Here!

For the first time this winter, we saw single-digit temperatures this week. But we didn't mind, we had a Luau inside! It felt a balmy 85 degrees and sunny in here!

When you walked in the door, you were greeted with a mocktail out of a tiki hut-served with an umbrella!

Jim and Tom brought out their best Coconut Bras!

Carson adopted a pet parrot.

The buffet was just beautiful. It looked like it came straight off an Island Paradise!

Once again, Chef Lee outdid himself.

Yum!

Even Juan got himself a drink!

There were leis at each spot in the dining room. As soon as you came down to eat, you were dressed and ready to party!

Jennifer looked great!

After lunch, we carried the party upstairs. The Caravan Band was here to preform!

Some things can never be unseen. Thanks, Bob!

What a great show!

OH MY!

Lynn and Bob put on a great sideshow!

LIMBO!

We had a GREAT time watching!

The Line Dancers got up and did a dance, as well!

We had a great time at the Luau! Let it rain, let it pour. Let it be snowy and freeze-y! We're nice and warm here in CCV Paradise!

Jubilee Choir Comes to CCV

We were excited to welcome the Jubilee Choir from Hot Springs Baptist Church to sing for us! They sang some wonder Christmas Carols that we all knew and loved. We even got to sing along!

Beautiful voices!

Can you see that stunningly handsome man in the back/center of the choir? That's one of our neighbors, Dewey! We loved to hear him sing!

Round of applause!

There is something truly magical in hearing the old Christmas Carols every year. It brings us back to our own childhoods...where Santa flew silently overhead and joy warmed your bones. We loved hearing the choir sing and can't wait to have them back next year!

Handbell Choir "Jingles All The Way!"

The handbell choir has been practicing all year for our big Christmas Tour and today was the day! We had a last minute practice this morning at 9:45, the loaded the bus for our first performance at 11am at Brookfield Nursing and Rehab. And that was just the start!

Ronny decorated the bus for us! Don't you love the lights?

Our 11am performance went beautifully!

And look who we found! Stell used to live with us at CCV. His late sister, Verna, was one of the founding members of the Handbell Choir! We wrangled him into playing a few songs with us.

After our morning show, we were hungry so we took a trip to Mr. Whiskers for lunch.

We were starving!

Doesn't that look wonderful?

After lunch, we went over to The Pines Nursing and Rehab for our second, longer performance. This show lasted an hour and we were WHOPPED at the end of it!

Good job, gang!

We recruited a few folks to play with us here, too!

Even thought our tour is over, we aren't done yet! We still have another big performance at CCV. Be sure to join us-you won't want to miss this show!

Daisy Kicks Off Book Tour for Oswald & I

One of our most beloved residents, Daisy, recently published the memoirs of her late husband, Nick McDonald. History buffs may recognize that name. Officer Maurice N. "Nick" McDonald was the Dallas Police Officer who arrested Lee Harvey Oswald 50 years ago in relation to the assassination of Presidents Kennedy.

Before Nick passed away, he asked his family to publish his account of the arrest. Daisy did so and the book has been titled Oswald and I. On Sunday, we hosted a hook signing in the Stardust Room to kick off the tour. Yesterday, Daisy and her daughter drove into Little Rock to do a TV Interview. Today, she has two radio interviews and travels to Dallas tomorrow.
