Sending Off Summer

As all good things must, summer came to an end this week, with the celebration of Labor Day. Here at Greenview Place, we sent summer off with a “flurry” of fun as we had a snow cone bar! These delicious and refreshing treats were a fantastic way to say farewell to the warm weather, and relive all our great summer memories.

While reminiscing, Bob O. commented that he “felt like he was on a tropical island vacation” as he sipped his lime snow cone. Others commented that it had been a very long time since they had a snow cone, and one resident, Roy H., said that when he was little they were called “snowballs.” One lady even mentioned that she remembered having something like a snow cone at the state fair when she was a child.

The afternoon was all smiles and laughs as we remembered the past, and enjoyed the present. It was a great way to finish off the summer, and get ready for the fall.

  1. The end of summer reminds me of a poem I once read.

    Nothing Gold Can Stay
    Robert Frost (1923)

    Nature's first green is gold,
    Her hardest hue to hold.
    Her early leaf's a flower;
    But only so an hour.
    Then leaf subsides to leaf.
    So Eden sank to grief,
    So dawn goes down to day.
    Nothing gold can stay.
