Never a dull moment with our outstanding Seniors for BINGO Monday‼️ … It’s always a pleasure getting to know our seniors and establishing connections through volunteering throughout the community.

We have the best time together laughing and anticipating that one number to be called to yell out B-I-N-G-O‼️ 🎉

What a truly uplifting morning sharing the room filled with incredible Mothers enjoying the Mother’s Day Tea Party with their kiddos at Little Bee's Academy … ❤️ … 🫖🌹💐🐝

The Moms & Kids picked out a special piece of jewelry of their liking, a meaningful touch that resonated deeply with all.

We also celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week, a special time to honor our dedicated educators. 🍎
We are grateful for our teachers and staff, who inspire us every day. ❤️

… What an amazing time we had at Deerfield Beach Elementary School‼️ … 🍎

… Friends of Sammy was spreading joy with bubbles for all. 🫧 🫧 🫧 … While the children were doing their Autism Awareness Walk, they had the best time blowing bubbles.

… The sounds of laughter is what makes our heart full and being able to spread happiness is why we love what we are able to do in our community. ❤️

Thank you to Principal Griffiths, Assistant Principal Joseph and the whole staff for the warm welcome.
520 Amazing Students‼️ Thank you for having us. ❤️

In honor of Sammy for National Pet Day … 4-11-2026 … 🐶🐾

This special place has been taking care of Sammy for 15 years from boarding, spa treatments, grooming and vet care.

We will always cherish the kindness and the love they gave Sammy throughout the years. ❤️

In the back office (which they shared with me today) … Sammy’s driver’s license is on the wall with the many special furry friends of heartfelt notes and letters from their owners. I couldn’t help but smile and cry that he was a part of this special facility. ❤️

Friends of Sammy was spreading the love at Clintmoore Animal Hospital, Pet Resort & Spa … sharing with the furry friends dog beds, blankets and treats.

We will continue spreading the joy, the unconditional love and happiness throughout the community always in honor of our Sammy whom we miss so much. ❤️

From our Home to Yours …
Happy National Pet Day to All … 🐾🐶❤️♾️
