My grandmother, who had 5 children and ran a boarding house, said "Dishes are the most patient thing in the world. They will wait until you get to them."

Hello friends of UpRiver Village!
This month has already brought us a mix of cloudy and sunny days, a beautiful reminder that life is full of seasons and cycles. In times of change, I reflect on my grandparents' wise words: embracing the barren moments allows us to fully appreciate the beauty of regrowth.
What invaluable lessons have your grandparents shared with you that continue to inspire and guide you?

Each of our 11 Villages has a Council that organizes activities, programs and services for seniors aging at home. These volunteers manage the day-to-day tasks to keep the Village operating and build a thriving community of neighbors. Consider joining your Village's Council. According to Darl, being a Village Council member is the most satisfying volunteer experience of her life, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Ay6sF11jo
