All about Alcoves

Gary and I now live in Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community (VMRC) in Harrisonburg, VA.  Our building is called Park Gables and we have 88 apartments.  I took a photo of all 88 alcoves.

I invite you to take a little break and click on some of the photos so you can take a closer look.  I didn't show all 88!

Residents "decorate" the alcove to their apartment.  Some people keep their decor the same all the time. 
Many folks change the decorations for each season.

People often leave notes and various items for each other or we can have meals delivered from the dining room.  So, it's handy to have a little table for these deliveries.

 I'm fascinated by the little tables and stands that people come up with.

One of the best deliveries is the loaf of homemade bread, still warm from the oven, on the day you move in.  Charlotte Burkholder does a beautiful job of keeping up with this kind and welcoming act.

 Our alcove will appear on another post.
