Annual Picnic in the ParkOn Monday April 30th we will be going on our annual “picnic in the park”. We will be leaving for Cameron Park around 10:00 a.m. and returning to the facility around 2:00 p.m. We will be at our usual pavilion which is very close to the bathrooms and right on the river so you can watch the ducks and the boats as they travel past. We also take games to play and there are plenty of tables for everyone to have a seat. We will be cooking hamburgers and hot dogs prepared for us on the grill by Dona and her staff. There will be plenty of chips, soda and dessert as well. So, sign up on the trip sheet at your activity desk and hop aboard for some good food, fun and fresh air.

Christian Rudolph Ebsen, Jr. was born in Belleville, Illinois, on April 2, 1908. His father opened a dance studio in Florida when Buddy was ten years old and taught all of his children to dance. How-ever, the young man looked forward to a career as a doctor and entered the University of Florida in 1926 with this in mind. He was forced to leave college in 1928 because of financial difficulties.So, at the age of twenty, he left for New York City with $26.75 in his pocket with hope of finding work as a dancer.
Buddy went on tour as a dancer during World War II while enlisted in the Coast Guard. In the 1950’s he was cast as Fess Parker’s sidekick in “Davy Crocket.” In the 60’s The Beverly Hillbillies became a television sensation. It is estimated that 60 million people watched the show between 1962 and 1971, when it was cancelled.
Although, he was by this time, a multi-millionaire, in 1973 Ebsen took the role of Barnaby Jones. This show ran until 1980 when it was taken off the air so Buddy could retire.
He was married three times and had seven children in all. He enjoyed dancing, swimming, fishing, sailing, painting landscapes and writing. He published his autobiography and his first novel Kelly’s Quest, in 2001 at the age of 93.
Buddy Ebsen died on July 6, 2003 at the age of 95 in Torrance, California from complications from pneumonia. His body was cremated and his ashes scattered at sea.
Remembering... Buddy Ebsen
On Wednesday (yes Wednesday), April 11th we will be celebrating the residents birthdays at 2:30 p.m. in the Village Dining room. Jay and Tammy, who

Monthly Birthday Party with Jay and Tammyand bring them on down to the Village Dining room to enjoy some good music, cake and punch…….

Pass The Bomb!The numbers for “Pass the Bomb” are growing by leaps and bounds and on the second and fourth Tuesday of April at 1:30 p.m. in the Village Activity Room, you will find a group of people passing a little black bomb around like a hot potato.
Don’t be afraid, they are just trying to tax their brains by coming up with words (the longer the better) before that bomb blows up. Just ask Don Oliver or Charles Tolbert how taxing this game can be, they’re the experts. They can come with some of the strangest words that take an explanation after the round is over, (for some of us anyway).
Sharon draws a card with letters on it and you have to come up with words in the exact order of the letters on the card. They can be in
the front of the word, the middle, or the end.
Everyone should try it sometime, it’s harder than you think, especially if the person in front of you takes your word and you have to think of another one on the spur of the moment and words cannot be repeated during any round.
This is a green dollar activity so if you want to get some of those green dollars to spend at the next dollar store, this would be a good way to get it. Bring a friend and give it a try, you just might get a good laugh and have a little fun in the process. The more the merrier.
Anyone wishing to go, please sign up at the activity table, so we can get a good count of how many we have. Wish us luck!!!!!
Happy Birthday!Don Oliver April 8
