Question: How would you describe yourself and why? Answer: “I like to think I’m a friendly person. My mother yelled a lot when I was growing up and my dad worked six days a week, so he wasn’t around much. Because of that, I have always had a strong desire to be different than how I was brought up.

It’s also rewarding to make something personalized for someone else. I like to make crafts, cards, and boxes to put treats in and share. I’ve taught some classes here and people have enjoyed them. It involves folding, cutting, pasting, creating […]

Question: What do you like about living in Friendship Village Chesterfield? Answer: “I loved living in Denver and didn’t want to move here, but I did it as a gift to my kids. As it turned out, I realized it was a gift to myself, too. I didn’t realize how isolated I had become. I was active in my church, but that’s different. It makes such a difference sitting down and eating with people, and when I walk in the hallway, I see residents all the time, and what I […]
