1950's Reminiscing in Elderly Care

For the month of February, I have run a "Back to the 50's" program with my residents.
We've looked at 1950's headlines and remembered Elvis, Marilyn, The Space Race and The Queen's Coronation.
We've looked at Laurie Richards photo's from the 1950's and reminisced about laundry day, supermarket shopping, black & white television and the pace of life.
We've coloured in Blues, Soul and Rock and Roll colouring sheets as we've listened to Nina Simone and danced a little to Little Richard.
We finished up the month with famous weddings from the 1950's and remembered wedding days, wedding traditions and even wedding songs. One of the ladies shared a little rendition of 'Always.' It was the icing on the cake!

Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

Always, by Ella Fitzgerald
