The other day, I came to Hopewell to lead a tour. Little did I know, the cows let themselves out of the gate and were taking their own unguided tour.
Through an all staff round up, all twenty of our cows were safely led back into the pasture. We hurried to the store and invested in some additional locks to ensure they did not go on unguided tours anymore.
On March 1st, ten students from Xavier University arrived at Hopewell to participate in a week long alternative spring break. The students spent the week living on campus and participating in work crews and working on special projects with our Facilities Director, Rick Polch.
Two mornings of work crew involved helping Norman Wengerd, Farm Manager, tap maple trees for sugaring. It was really great to have these visitors from Xavier and we are so thankful that they chose to spend their break at Hopewell!
What’s happening at Hopewell these days? Well spring is here and with it is a new song from the Hopewell band.
Every morning we at Hopewell have a music therapy group in the dining room. The music is produced by the Hopewell Band. The band includes 4 residents and 4 staff members but this number changes depending upon the residents that want to be involved. You can come and play or you can come and listen to the music. All winter long we have been practicing hard to produce a song for the Hopewell web site.
A few weeks ago, the band went out and made a recording of the song called “I can see clearly now” originally written and recorded by Johnny Nash. The song’s optimistic lyrics and unabashedly upbeat tempo in D-major is a great theme for Hopewell residents.
We had a great day out recording the song, stopping first at a local diner for lunch and then punching it out for 5 hours in a local recording studio. We also want to thank Tom at the recording studio Kick a Mix Recording Studio for working with us. He was very patient with us and had excellent suggestions for us.
