Ivan (Butch) Edwards, originally of Primghar, donated geraniums to Community Memorial Health Center to celebrate National Nursing Home Week, May 9 – 15, and the great care he receives there. This year’s theme – Through the Seasons – was marked with special activities highlighting each season throughout the week. Monday, Spring Fling; Tuesday, Summer Hawaiian Luau; Wednesday, Summer County Fair; Thursday, Fall Oktoberfest; and Friday, Winter Carnival.
Spring was celebrated by residents Monday afternoon as they planted the geraniums.
Edwards purchased the flowers from Shea’s True Value Hardware Store, where he has purchased his greenery and flowers for years. But also because of his gratitude for the way the owners looked after him and his late wife. Nine CMHC residents planted the flowers. The will add brightness to the residences.
