What happened this past week.

  • The Highlights of the Week 4/12/26

    Sunday – Because I am quarantined I view the Mass on EWTN.com (Eternal Word Television Network). There was a Church Service here at WFV.

    Monday – Doctor’s Appointments all day, A midday Church Service.

    Tuesday – Errands at 9 AM and 1 PM. The Elm Fork River Band performed. The Book Club Met and so did the Sunshine Committee.

    Wednesday – Doctor’s Appointments all day. Bible Study. A Lunch outing to the Chicken Salad Chick Restaurant for some of the residents. Crafts, Bingo, and an evening Church Service.

    Thursday – An outing to the Bear Creek Community Heritage Park. Musical Bingo, Treasure Show, and Open Pool time.

    Friday – Parkinson Awareness, Earth Day Quiz, and Movie Night.

    Saturday – The Podiatrist came.

    The past week, for me, was filled with Bible verse videos posted to youtube and social media. Time for prayer, reflection, reading and watching videos on YouTube, the daily Mass on EWTN.com and enjoying the great meals that arrived at my door.
    

    Since I was unable to go to the Bear Creek Heritage Park, I watched a video about the Bear Creek Community and also a video on George Strait. That was a bit emotional.

    All in all, it was a great week at West Fork Village. A Place Where Seniors Thrive.

    As for myself I started publishing short Bible Verse videos, which received quite a few views. I post them on YouTube, Facebook, Tiktok, linkedin, and Instagram. I also post on YouTube where, with some searching I can see how many views they get. Many are getting over 100 views. One received over 200 views. The count in views was over 400 for the first 48 hours. Hopefully a good start

    Even so it was a packed week at West Fork Village. A Place Where Seniors Thrive.
