Saturday May 10 2:45 PM Mother’s Day Tea Lilting harp music will create the gentle ambience in which you will enjoy our lovely Mother’s Day Tea. Join your family member to celebrate this special day! At Country Meadows, we call him the “Bard of Manchester.” Bill Thompson, husband of Activities Assistant Jackie Thompson, will share some of his delightful poetry with us. In his poems Bill takes us to places we’ve all been, either physically, like a childhood swing or your first car, or emotionally, like growing pains or happy times with family & friends. In the true spirit of sharing, he also encourages others to read or recite their favorites!
