Facts about October

The women always look

forward to their Friday tea time

with each other. They had

homemade cookies baked for

them, with hot tea and milk.

Red Hat Society

Nails

Down Time

The residents love getting their nails done

every other Wednesday! It’s another thing that

they look forward to. We have even been

experimenting with designs for October with

some of the ladies!

In between activities the residents participated

in looking at old photos of the Edgewood

Heights building and past residents that once

lived there while enjoying ice cream sundaes.

We also had Sam and Charles watch the football

game together in the Common area. Our

resident, Bonnie, and Activity Director, Cheyanna

Wright, worked for three days to finish a

beautiful puzzle together.

Edgewood Events

October was originally the eighth month of the

Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word

"octo", meaning eight. It became the tenth

month when January and February were added.

Columbus Day, the second Monday of October,

is a national holiday and celebrated in many

countries of the Americas as the anniversary of

Christopher Columbus’s arrival in America in

1492.

Halloween, which occurs annually on October

31, has been around since Pope Gregory III

designated November 1 as a time to honor all

saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some

of the traditions of the ancient Celtic festival

Samhain. The evening before was known as All

Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time,

Halloween evolved into a day of activities like

trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive

gatherings, donning costumes and eating sweet

treats.
