Seniors' Time Out
Monday
Check in Monday at 4 pm, enjoy dinner and a movie, get instructions for the next day and relax!
Tuesday Day Trip to Hagley
Tuesday morning we’ll board a comfortable coach bus to the birth site of the DuPont Company situated on 235 picturesque acres along the Brandywine River. The Hagley Museum depicts home and work life in a 19th century industrial community. We’ll take an extended tour of the museum, with a tour guide and a pace that is just right for us. We’ll see the first DuPont family home in America, participate in a school day, stroll through a formal French garden and see period machines, powered by water and steam, in action again. You will also see the first office of the DuPont Company and a barn filled with antique vehicles including a Conestoga Wagon. Learn about the intricacies of making gunpowder and watch the energy of the Brandywine River’s falling water turn a sixteen-ton iron wheel.
Transportation around the grounds is by minibus, though you should be fairly mobile to best tour the house, gardens and exhibits. *This trip is limited to the first 53 people! If there is enough interest, this trip will be repeated October 20-22.
We’ll break during the tour for lunch at the Museum and return to Sandy Cove in time for dinner and an enjoyable evening program with Paul Pitts and a well deserved rest!
Wednesday Seasoned Citizens' Day Program
Gordon Douglas
Imagine what you would have if the "Energizer bunny" and Gilligan had a child -add a touch of GOD’s grace and you get GORDON DOUGLAS. He has been a husband for over 25 years, a father of 19 kids, ( yes that is not a typo, 19 kids !), and he is the owner of a construction company, has been a pastor of a church, and, oh yeah, someone who lives and loves to laugh!<br><br>His comedy skills took him from the nightclubs in Philadelphia to Hollywood- only to end up in ministry ! But 10 years ago a wild thought came to him…. he didn’t have to give up comedy for the ministry… he can do both, usually at the same time!<br><br>So since returning to the comedy world, at last count Gordon has been in 17 states and 3 countries performing for all kinds of groups, from corporations to community centers. He has the unique ability to connect with everyone from teenagers to senior citizens. His comedy program has been seen on both Royal Caribbean and Carnival cruise lines. But his favorite events are for Church groups where there is a mixture of fun and faith using his gift of encouragement.
Paul Pitts
Named the Pavarotti of Christian music and described as "having one of the most beautiful voices in existence today," Paul has been heard worldwide in over 5300 performances on 7 continents.
