Valentine's Day the Parisian Way

Valentine's Day at Villa Serena
 
The day started out with a lovely surprize from a little visitor from the neighborhood whohad come to give us Valentine's Day gifts.
 
 

 Our ladies were very happy to receive their flowers and impressed with how brave he was.
 
Villa Serena 2013 King and Queen
Patti and Earl Elam were crowned.
 
A resident, Carol, sang to the newly crowned royalty while they shared a dance with each other.
 
Before Dessert was served,
candy and flowers were presented
to all of the residents.



 
During BINGO we had another surprise when the
Bay Area Showcase Chorus
came to sing us a few songs.

 
 
Friday was our Paris themed party where
Ron Borelli serenaded all who attended. 
Chef Peter prepared a wonderful French-inspired dinner with chicken cordon bleu, crepes and best of all fresh strawberries with a chocolate fondue fountain!



Happy Valentine's Day
from everyone at Villa Serena.
 
 
We can't wait to see what surprises are in store for next year's Valentine's Day!

Magical Time at Villa Serena



We truly did have a Magical Time!
 
 

It was a very rainy day but none of our residents seemed to notice because they were all captivated by Phil's wonderful tricks!
 
 
 
Phil called upon an audience member to pick a card, any card!
 
Up next, Bill and Lia had to make five rings disappear.


Shirley had to practice coloring inside the lines for this portion of the act.


 Here she is showing off her artistic talents.





 

 




Julius helped float a table above some of his neighbors’ heads.





 
 For the grand finale our magician,
Phil, turned a balloon into a cute little bunny!

 We had the chance of meeting the
little performer after the show!
