Ronda’s Weekly Column

Week of April 20, 2026

Hello everyone, it’s Ronda with the weekly HPV News-

Here we sit, still waiting for some nice Spring weather. I saw on the forecast this am that there is some hope for warmer weather and if they could leave off the wind part, that would be great. It never hurts to ask. While I am typing Joan is having a little sing along with the residents. When your happy and you know it clap your hands! It makes your heart happy when you hear them sing songs from their childhood.

They are counting the days until the flower planters get planted and the patio gets set up for a little sunshine.

A reminder about our 2026 Fundraiser. We are hoping to purchase some new wheelchairs and some specialized wheelchairs to meet the needs of residents. If you would care to make a memorial or a donation to this project we would be most grateful. If you have any questions, you can all Amber Thykeson for information.

Did you ever make a May Basket as a kid? I remember that we did. My mom would save the baskets that strawberries would come in and on May Day she would put a pretty napkin in them and we would fill them with a few treats.  We’d run around the neighborhood placing a basket on the porch, knock and run. We always waited for that day.

May Basket

A tiskit a tasket

A green and yellow basket

I wrote a letter to my Love

and on the way I dropped it.

I dropped it, I dropped it

and on the way I dropped it

A little boy picked it up

and put it in his pocket.

Let’s all hope for a great new Month filled with sunshine and happy days! Until next week stay well and have a great week!
