Yesterday our residents received a tasty treat of pies from our local Village Inn. They had the choice of French Silk, Oreo or Banana cream. It definitely put smiles on their faces. Something as little as a piece of pie can make someone smile, especially a Village Inn pie.

"Every day might not be good, but there is good in every day". This quote couldn't ring more true than it has the last 2 weeks in Eastern Iowa. The storm that rolled through Iowa on Monday, August 10, called a Derecho, is still wreaking havoc on not only our branches, but businesses, farm land, schools, and utilities. Today marks 2 weeks that our Marion location is still without internet and phone service. Thankfully we did receive a generator that ran our branch for over a week, and we had very little other disruption. The amount of love, support, and dedication from our caregivers and families really was second to none. As these folks dealt not only with their own destruction at home, they showed up day after day, caring for our residents, keeping them safe, and providing extra help. Even a caregiver from our Iowa city location, Henry Ramirez-Mesa, spent 2 days in Marion working on clean up, cutting up branches, picking up shingles and siding, helping where he was needed, and did it all with a smile. So even though those first few days weren't all that good, we saw the good in others and are ever so thankful.

Yesterday our cook Dani took our residents for a walk and they got a pleasant surprise lots of bell peppers were ready to be picked. Our residents feel very accomplished when they are able to help out in any way they can. The produce is collected and given to the kitchen and they use in our meals. Our KM Dani was pretty happy she didn't order any bell peppers. Sometimes the small things in life are the greatest.

Here at our Moline Bickford, anyone that comes to see us in the summer knows we plant sunflowers every year and they thrive more than anything we plant. We are always amazed at the heights we see every year. We also love what we believe they stand for. Sunflowers are consider a positive flower, they bow their heads on a sunless day and look up when the sun is shining. Its as if they deny the gloom and celebrate the sun. So this year when we went our to our garden and seen this amazing sunflower head, we were flabbergasted at what we seen. If you look closely, it presents itself like its wearing a mask. In this world today, its good to find some humor in little things of our everyday lives. Kudos to our sunflowers for setting a good example to everyone!

It's halfway through July and the heat wave has officially arrived. Please remember to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and be cautious wearing your masks outside in the high temperatures. We cannot wait to see all our Bickford family and friends as our guidelines change. Take care and see you soon!
