Music, Mud, and Movement at Elim



The residents of Elim Nursing Home along with the daycare children enjoy singing, playing instruments, dancing, and gardening (weather providing) once a week. I enjoy volunteering my time to add music to others' lives, and when we can get dirty in the garden, it makes it even better.

We sing song about science, history, geography, and praise the Lord. It's great to share stories of past presidents, how to eat healthy, and review the countries in Central and South America to keep our brains sharp. We sing about the Titanic, Pompeii, and the Dirty Thirties, to name a few.

Eleanor and John are awesome at the maracas. Eleanor said she use to play the guitar and that her brother was in a rock band many years ago. You go, girl!
