Yesterday morning
I had an amazing experience
at our local nursing home.
The Madison Valley 4-H Club
joined forces with the Ennis Arts Association
to bring joy to our local nursing home residents.

Each resident was paired with a youngster
and an Art Association member
as they created art on tiles that will be
combined to create barn quilts …
You’ll have to see the
finished products
to understand.
Do you know what I mean by barn quilts?

In the meantime,
just enjoy the delight
shared by children
and the seniors.
You can’t help but smile,
right?

The children brought smiles to all our faces.
So precious!!

It is following the weekend
of Valentine’s Day.
Many of the resident’s doors
were decorated for the holiday.

Walking through the residence put a smile on my face.
You’re smiling, too, aren’t you?

As the parents came to pick up some of their 4-H’ers,
they often stopped at the entry to admire the birds
in the beautiful aviary there.
One of the residents delighted in telling them
all about the various species

You know there is nothing like children to bring joy!
What a gift their presence was to our seniors!
I’m so glad I was able to be a part of this
delightful experience!

Stay tuned for a future post
when I show you what the
Art Association members
were able to do
with those individual tiles!
I can hardly wait to see it myself!

What can you do
to bring joy
to someone today?

Love,
