July at Devonshire

Activities have begun!!

How would you like to sit on your balcony and view scenes like this. This picture was taken recently by a tenant from her balcony. Tenants can enjoy scenes like this as well as deer, squirrels, many types of birds and wildlife and yet be only a mile from the closest shopping, medical facilities, and main highways. What a great place!!

This month began the start of our activities, Bingo, Coffee and Do-nuts, and Happy Hour. It was wonderful to see old friends getting together again and to welcome new tenants. People are enjoining the Indoor and the Olympic sized outdoor pool which has again opened after a year of COVID. It is especially great just in time for this hot weather.

In addition our card players and Mexican Train players are again challenging each other. Have you ever played Mexican Train? What a fun game. It is a game of skill, luck and lots of fun. Our knitters are back meeting again, chatting and knitting scarves and hats for the homeless. During the COVID they continued to knot at home, but it is so much more enjoyable getting together, chatting and knitting. In total they have donated several hundred scarves to the homeless shelter in Allentown, Pa. Way to go Ladies!!

Our first social event will be in a few weeks. We will be starting with the popular Ice Cream Social with everyone making their own ice cream sodas, sundaes or both. What a yummy way to spend an evening! We may end the evening with a game of "Name that Tune".

A group of residents recently attended the Pines Dinner Theatre in Allentown to see "Under the Boardwalk" and are looking forward to going to see "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" in August. They also enjoyed lunch at "Madelines" and are looking forward to having lunch at the "Plaza Axteca Grill" this month.

Looking ahead to August will see another Yard Sale on Saturday, August 14th from 8:00 until???? This event was so popular in June that we are going to repeat it.
