Frisco, TX 75034

In November, the Dallas Arboretum

changes its scenes of autumn to that of

the Twelve Days of Christmas. Throughout

the beautifully landscaped acres of flowers, you find large

structures that depict every part of the song from the

partridge in a pear tree to the twelve drummers drumming.

We will bundle up and take a tour of these wonderful sights

and enjoy a terrific lunch together, so be sure to sign up at

the front desk.

As a community, we are always taking the opportunities to grow

and learn through a variety of ways. On a recent trip to the Frisco

Heritage Museum, not only did we learn from our wonderful docent,

but our own, Betty Shaw, shared a wealth of information regarding

the history of Collin and Grayson Counties as they were in the

earlier days when they were primarily farming communities. She

shared so many interesting facts that even our docent did not know,

which made for an especially fun time together. Upon leaving the

museum, we took a tour of some of the various landmarks in Frisco

that we had just learned about which made things come to life even

more.

The Inn

Residents of the Inn had a

Jones' 87th birthday on a

recent outing to Medieval

Times! With 1000 attendees

in the arena, we all gave a

cheer as the king announced,

"A very special birthday wish

to Lord Jones as he turns 87!"

Judd said that it was the most

fun birthday he's had. We ate

with our hands, and watched the various events take place in the

arena. As we ate with our hands, just as they did during the middle

ages, residents enjoyed watching the dancing horse show, the

falconry demonstration, and the knights of each team joust and

battle until there was a final winner, which just so happened to be

the red knight...our team! Once the show ended, our group had an

exclusive opportunity to hear background information about the

show, it's knights and it's horses from the manager and then had

our own private photo session with the knights, making it a perfect

ending to a perfect outing!
