Whimsical Fun Filled Night at The Seussicals

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again…we love any reason to celebrate. So, our most recent celebration was to honor one of the best children’s writer, Dr. Seuss. We planned an entire event around some of his most famous works as he would have turned 100 this March (on the 2nd to be exact). “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere”. At Juniper, we find that our days pass much more quickly if we’re enjoying ourselves by smiling and laughing, and this event gave us the perfect opportunity to do just that.  We dusted off our Dr. Seuss character costumes, put together a small skit, and then handed out fake awards as if it were an awards show.

We handed out awards for best comedic actor, best supporting actress, among many other awards…and, of course, the Grinch made a special appearance. With his grouchiness aside, the evening was filled with joyous laughter and at the end of the night we were reminded of Dr. Seuss’s words, “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” So, now that it is over, we can reflect back on this event and smile at the fun that we had while reviewing the pictures. Hats off to Dr. Seuss, who has always been able to captivate our imagination for both the young and old, and also to one of our Partners in Caring, Home Instead Senior Care, for helping us pull off such a fantastic event.
