 |  | Residents enjoy making jewelry. Activities Director Dee Dee Cheney led a class on jewelry making. Residents had the opportunity to work with several types of beads to create one-of-a-kind necklaces. They also got to look at some examples of hand-made jewelry. Everyone agreed it was fun to try something new. | |
