Eggstravaganza Month
All over the world, eggs symbolize the release of the earth from winter and the coming of newlife in the
spring. Since March 20 is the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere, Passover begins on March
30, and Easter is just around the corner on April 1, we are hatching an eggciting plan this month.
Happy Birthday Ressie
On Wednesday, March 14,
Ressie Peters will turn 102 years
old. She is our second to oldest
Centurion at Colonial Springs.
We will be celebrating Ressie’s
birthday with a special party in her
honor. It’s not everyday that you
turn 102!
Come on down to the dining
room at 2 p.m. and let’s sing
happy birthday and help Ressie
blow out 102 candles.
Also, can we send Ressie 102
birthday cards? Let’s see if we can.
Send her card to Colonial Springs
Healthcare Center, P.O. Box 978,
Buffalo, MO 65622, Attention Res-
sie Peters, Room 207.
St. Patty’s Day Party
St. Patrick’s Day is on Saturday, March 17, and since we
already have our activities scheduled for that Saturday and
we cannot change them, we will celebrate St. Patty’s Day a
“wee” early, this is one day early.
We will be decked out in our green attire and change our
last name to O’…. My name will be Patrice O’Melton. That
way we will ALL be Irish, at least for a little while. We will play
Irish games, some LUCKY bingo, and finalize the day with
some Irish dancing, music and food.
Throughout the week, we will be doing some other Irish
activities such as taking a trip to Ireland, making an Irish
craft, and playing a few Irish games.
Watch the calendar for a fun-filled week of going GREEN!

Wreath.
We won’t be celebrating Easter in March, but the entire
last week will be dedicated to this special event. Easter this
year is on April 1.
Easter is a very special time of year for our ladies and gen-
tlemen. This is when Jesus sacrificed his life to save ours. On
Thursday and Friday we will have special devotionals cele-
brating Holy Thursday and Good Friday.
Earlier in the week, we will have fun with crafts, bunny
and egg creations, games and puzzles.
