What fun – sipping tea, munching on cookies,  and walzing at AgeSong’s Forget-Me-Not Cafe on a Friday afternoon, in memory of Marion Rosen’s love for walzing and tea!  Led by Theresa Garcia,  senior movement trainer for the Rosen Method approach to bodywork and movement, we did some warm-ups, gave each other gentle shoulder rubs, and then danced our hearts out to oldie but goodie tunes by Rosemary Clooney or Doris Day. The afternoon ended with tea, cookies and conversation.

As I enter the Hayes community, I ask the receptionist, “Is there anyone around who would like to help me fold newsletters?”  He responds, “I could help you for a couple minutes.”

 

What about members of the community?

 

No.

 

I sit down in the seating area of the lobby.

You have an East Coast accent.  Where are you from?
