Fred Lind Manor is dazzling with merriment and glad tidings this holiday season.  Thanks to all the friends and family that attended our marvelous feast!  Kim and her culinary crew designed a Christmas dinner that was a real crowd-pleaser.  The salmon and prime rib received rave reviews while the eggnog punch brought smiles to many.  Every year we are reminded that the spirit of the holidays will come alive when friends, families, and communities gather together in simple celebration.  Thank you for all that attended!  Check out our Facebook page to spot your family photo!

The sun came out just in time for the Fred Lind Manor BBQ and Jazz Festival.  Mouths were watering as grill-master Marcel prepared steaks cooked to order along with fall-off-the-bone ribs.  Jazzbestos set the tone for a delightful afternoon filled with Pasty Cline, Frank Sinatra, and all the heart-warming classics.  Don’t miss our next backyard BBQ, August 31, from 12-2 pm. 

The residents of Fred Lind Manor enjoyed a summer day in Seattle fishing on the lake.  While there were many ‘a fish story exchanged as they baited their hooks and cast their lines, they did not come home empty handed.  John and Dee caught multiple perch and Harry reeled in a trout.  “This is good eatin’ fish,” Harry exclaimed as he held the trout up for a photograph.  Harry brought his catch back home to Fred Lind and had our chef fry it up for supper!

The residents of Fred Lind Manor are excited to transform their Capitol Hill alleyway into a fruitful pea patch!  Thanks to the craftsmanship of our activities coordinator Denis and maintenance supervisor Chris, the Fred Lind Manor gardening coop can now sow their seeds in a senior-friendly planter box on wheels.  This raised bed is handicap accessible and allows residents to easily work the soil from a chair.  Residents are certainly excited!  Just ask Art, a retired avocado grove farmer from San Diego, “I needed a place where I could get my hands dirty.”  Art is planting a tomato crop as well as an herb garden.  We look forward to updating you on our yields as the Seattle summer sets in.
