Sometimes simple activities are the best. Our watermelon social under the awning, looking into the freshly landscaped courtyard and eating cold melon slices was a great example of this. Yes, I did set aside red balloons to decorate with black "seeds" to add to the mood. Otherwise it was just about sitting back and letting the residents talk to each other about the great weather.
I worked especially hard to invite a new resident who is here on hospice. He doesn't care much for food or being around other people, but he did allow me to convince him to join us in the fresh air. He even ate!
My only regret is that I didn't call it Watermelon Tellin'.
