💌 **A Letter, a Memory, and a Pair of Knitting Needles!** 🧶❤️

We recently started a pen pal program with the **Adult Day Program here in Jaffrey**, and today our residents had the opportunity to respond to the letters they received!

What started as a simple exchange of letters has turned into something even more meaningful. 💕

Through the letters, we're learning new things about our residents and being reminded of hobbies, interests, and talents they have enjoyed throughout their lives.

**Take Millie, for example!** 🧶

Thanks to the pen pal program, we were reminded that Millie enjoys knitting! Our Recreation team wasted no time digging out her knitting supplies, and just like that, Millie was back at it! Judging by that smile, we'd say she's pretty happy about it, too! ❤️

Now we're all excited to see what she creates!

A huge **THANK YOU to our friends at the Adult Day Program** for being part of this wonderful experience. What a great reminder that sometimes a simple letter can spark a memory, rekindle an old hobby, and create a whole new opportunity for connection.

At Jaffrey Rehab, we're always learning more about the people who call our center home. Sometimes all it takes is asking the right question! 💙💛

**Let's show Millie some encouragement! Drop a 🧶 or a ❤️ in the comments, and tell us what you think she should knit!**
