Peggie’s Fawn won top honors.

Tonight was the second annual Mansion Art Show, the residents competed in sixteen categories from wood art to tape art to watercolors.

Maria and I judged while a harpist played music in the background. The refreshments were punch and ginger cookies and cheese. Maria and I judge, we gave out 25 lst, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons.

There were more than 80 entries and we gave the “Best In Show” ribbon to Peggie, for her oil painting of the fawn.  A lot of the residents were missing Red.

Peggie has a lot of spirit.

She makes the most of her life at the Mansion, playing video games, working on jigsaw puzzles,  Bingo games, plunging into craft and art activities, dying her hair. She is always busy, always engaged.

It’s not simple to be a resident in an assisted care facility, but Peggie makes every day count.

She has a great heart and a passion for living. Maria and I were both happy she won Best of Show. She reminded us that she won it last year as well.
