TOUCHMARK AT HARWOOD GROVES THE{FULL} LIFE All are invited to fun presentations and events! The {FULL} Life Series starts March 19 at 4 pm with presentations by The Touchmark Choir and Erv Inniger (pictured), the former championship coach and current senior associate athletic director at North Dakota State University. See back page for details about the MIND{FULL} event. Discover. Play. Learn. March 2014 John & Norma Finnie - “Mother knows best” The saying “mother knows best” applies to how John and Norman Finnies met. John’s stepfather was the chauffer for the NDSU president, who was Norma’s uncle. One day, John’s mother told Norma, “You need to meet my Johnny when he gets home from the service.” Norma describes the moment she met John. “Here was this tall drink of water in full-length Army uniform, and I thought, ‘Well ... maybe this will work.’” Indeed it did. John and Norma celebrated their 62nd anniversary last August. Irving & Alaine Naas - “I guess we always knew we belonged together.” Irving and Alaine Naas can’t remember not knowing each other. In fact, they’ve known each since they were babies. Both grew up in McVille and went to Our Savior Church. One day they started walking down the road together, and they have been inseparable since. “I guess we always knew we belonged together,” says Alaine. The couple will celebrate 71 years of marriage this month. Jim & Joyce Holter - “Love at first sight” In February 1953, Jim’s fraternity and Joyce’s sorority got together to plan the Bison Brevities Spring Show. From across the room, Jim spotted Joyce and immediately thought, “My God, she’s beautiful!” He walked over to her, and the rest is history. Jim walked Joyce home later that evening, stopping at the Hasty Tasty for a bite to eat long the way. The Holters will celebrate their 60th anniversary in June. Love can happen when you least expect it— and it can last a lifetime

Connecting the GenerationsWhat’s the best thing about being a grandparent? Or what is your best memory of/with a grandparent/grandchild?

Not all of us are grandparents or great-

grandparents—but all of us are grandchildren. At some time in our lives, we were able to experience the opportunity to know—or know of—our family history. ...Touchmark’s intergenerational program provides opportunities to connect with children of all ages through activities and celebrations, both at Touchmark and in other settings within the community. ...

“I love it here! We have wonderful staff and residents. I enjoy access to all the amenities, including great food and transportation. What’s not to like about Touchmark?”

-Gerry Sunde, resident

What New Year’s resolutions? Have you already given up on your resolutions? If so, it’s time to recommit to them and remember why you set them in the first place. Try these ideas; recommit; and succeed!

1. Make small goals that are attainable and help you reach the larger goal.

2. Map out a plan for each resolution.

3. Ask for help. A personal trainer can help you with your fitness goals.

4. Be kind to yourself and don’t give up.

5. Have fun, and celebrate your successes!

Do you need to relax from March Madness and taxes? Ongoing massage therapy can help you relieve pain, improve your sleep, and more. Call 701-212-0246 to make an appointment with Touchmark Massage Therapist Brenda Nelson. Rates: $50 for an hour or $30 for 30 minutes.

Join the new Kettlebell class Kettlebell training incorporates total-body exercises and requires the use of all major muscle groups and core stabilization. This intermediate-level class is 30 minutes and will help increase strength, endurance, and muscle toning by focusing on the muscular and

cardiovascular systems. Classes start March 4 and will be held in the exercise studio Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15 pm. Certified KettleBell Concepts® Instructor John Hume will lead the class. There’s no charge for club members. Space is limited. Sign up at the club front desk.

Club hosted SilverSneaker® certification training for Fargo community

Instead of dealing with the frozen snow, residents enjoyed making snowmen out of terra cotta pots. Two granddaughters also joined the group. Later, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, a talented group created green floral wreaths.

Although not a single record was broken, Fargo did have a streak of 21 days of zero-or-lower temperatures. To heat things up a bit, residents made Cranberry Hootycreeks. They make a wonderful gift when the ingredients are packed in jars, and a group of ladies gathered to make these delicious cookies. Check out the recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cranberry-hootycreeks/.

Regional instructors gathered to earn their certifications for teaching SilverSneaker’s Yoga, Circuit Training, and Classic exercise classes. Touchmark team members John Hume, Heather Muscha, Laura Sundquist, and Gayle Cummings were among the participants. New SilverSneaker classes will be added to the schedule soon!

Perfect timing for the cold weather: a chili-tasting competition with nine different entries and eight different breads, all provided by Touchmark staff. The Maintenance team surprised everyone by serving much-loved chili dogs. The afternoon wrapped up as the ballots for best chili and best bread were announced: Katie’s Home Grown Chili (pictured) and Mark’s Golden Cornbread won. The popular event raised $330 for the local Alzheimer’s Association.

Infuse your lifestyle with fun and friendshipsThe lifestyle at Touchmark makes it easy to connect with friends and take part in activities. You’re able to enjoy the comfort and privacy of your home—and participate in what we call the {FULL} Life. Looking to infuse your lifestyle with fun, food, and friendship?
