All is well at Wascana these days with the staff sneaking a look at the Canadian Women's Curling Championships on Isabel's TV. This has been a busy week with lots of therapy and Isabel watching lots of curling.

An Evening of Fine Music
Our thanks once again to Larry & Marj Middleton for their gift of dance music through sax and keyboard in the concourse of Wascana last Thursday evening.
The residents of Wascana were toe-tapping and wheel-chairs were dancing with the support of a crew of recreation therapists and volunteers.
Isabel loved every minute of the party and particularly the circle of Regina friends who joined her to celebrate Valentine's Day week. She kept busy "burning-up" her letterboard introducing her friends to each other and to the residents who were sitting near her.
We are grateful to volunteers who offer their gifts of music, time, and conversation each time they enter Wascana to bring energy and good cheer from the community.
And a big THANKS to all who sent Valentine's greetings in various forms: phone calls, letters, cards, flowers, chocolates, and a note in a bottle (with sand, shells, and lei) all the way from Hawaii!

The "Middletones" Return as Wascana Valentine's Special
The sunny days of February are bringing much music to Wascana.
This past week Isabel enjoyed a hour of barbershop harmony of 15 women's voices of Prairie Gold Chorus.
Today, she spent 1.5 hours listening to the 40-member Regina Mandolin Orchestra rehearse in preparation for a teacher's convention at the Centre of the Arts.
Thursday, Feb 12 at 7 pm, her friends, Larry and Marj Middleton return with sax & keyboard as the "Middletones" - the Valentine's Week evening entertainment at Wascana. Thanks Larry & Marj once again!
Isabel is organizing a row of friends to come along with her to hear Larry & Marj. The more the merrier. Join her at 6:45 (at the latest) in the concourse.
