My favorite musician is the Chipmunks, I play them with the grand kids.
The best gift I’ve ever received was a pair of toe socks – why? “Everyone need toe socks, don’t you”
If I could go back in time, the year would be 2010; the year my mother passed, just to hear her voice one more time.

I don’t really have a favourite musician. I like listening to Pop, Country and a little bit of Rock – but not Hard Rock. I like Nickelback, Bryan Adams and Adele.
Have to say this past Christmas – I received a 3D picture of a wolf head. Also having all of my family here is the best gift of all …
It would be when my other was growing up in the 1940’s. When rent was only $27 a month, you could buy a house for $3,000 and bread was only 10 cents a loaf.
My time at MLP has taught me to have more respect for seniors. We are all going to be there one day as well. Listen to what they have to say and appreciate that they have their own opinions … extend towards them a helping hand when needed

My favourite bands are Nickelback and AC/DC. However, I like pretty much all types of music as long as it has a good beat to the tune.
The best gift that I have ever received is my lovely wife, and soon to be born my first child!
I would go back to my childhood. Life was carefree with no worries or responsibilities. Life seemed so very simple then.
Although I am new to MLP Team, I have learned and realized the importance of team work and the great benefits that come with being part of a wonderful group of people – whose aim is to serve the amazing residents who live here.

My favorite musician would be my best friend, Bobbi-Jo Vandenburg. She has such a pure soulful country voice that I could listen to for hours.
The best gift I have ever received are my 3 beautiful children. They make me not take life for granted. I cherish each and every single day with them.
I would say that I would choose the 80’s. Mainly because it has the basics of everything we have today. It was a peaceful time in which life wasn’t, no economic crisis all around.
My time at MLP Residence has taught me that whether your young or elderly we all have a purpose here on earth.

The best gift I have ever received was a bouquet of flowers for no reason.
If I were to ever travel back in time, it would be in the 1920’s to get a better understanding of the depression and its effect on life.
I have understood what it really means to be a part of a “team” – one which cares for their residents and their well-being.

As I am aging and becoming more humble and grateful for my presence, I find I am enjoying music that relates to the strength of spirit. I love chanting hymns, opera, foreign languages like Spanish, and more recently the Indian language.
The best gift I have ever received is my partner. He gave me the gift of joy. His spirit is light, while very grounded to the earth. I am of spirit so he is my balance with earth’s connection.
If I could go back in time it would be to the year 1989. My strength of spirit awakened. This was a journey of self, but not selfish. My year of physical accomplishment in body building championships. I overcame insecurities through training, which I recognized were not necessarily my own. My journey has awakened the depth of a strong spirit within me. Today I found joy in helping others with their strength of spirit, their voice within.

Hands down the roaring 20’s dancing the Charleston new freedom for women, jazz age drinking, music, smoking, fancy clothes and just carefree.

Its hard to pick just one musician as I love all types of music. But, if I had to, it would be the band, Elevation Rhythm from my Christian genre. It really helps hype me up for the day and reminds me that God loves me and is always there walking the journey with me.
The best gift I have ever received is my two handsome, healthy boys. Being a mother has taught me so many life lessons and the pride and joy I experience as they continue to grow into these little humans with their own personalities is such a wonderful gift.
I would travel back to when I was in grade seven. It’s the year I became friends with my amazing group that I am still very close with today. We would spend our days laughing so hard that tears would stream down our face. We were silly, and carefree and didn’t have to worry about jobs, bills, or other adult responsibilities.
Executive Chef
I love all types of music, but don’t have a single favourite musician. Country music would be my favourite genre. I grew up listening to country, so whenever I hear it, it brings me back to my youth.
The gift of life. God has blessed me with the most loving and caring parents and siblings. He also blessed me with the most precious children and grand children.
I would go back in time to when my children were little and living at home. I’d love to see them grow and shape their lives again. It has given me a sense of pride and accomplishment to see how they’ve grown into the amazing people they are today.

The best gift I’ve ever received would be my two daughters who light up my life. If I had to pick another, I’d say my Bose Stereo would be next. It was given to me by my husband.
I don’t think I would go back in time. I am looking forward to a brighter future!

I don’t think I could pick just one favourite musician. I have a very eclectic taste in music, but I’d have to say that my favourite genre of music would be country.
The best gift I have ever received would be my children, but I was also given the gift of being able to create another family by being a surrogate mom.
