DDM Administration Enjoys Fun and Learning at the Beach
DDM Administration, which includes office staff and state-wide administrators, enjoyed some fun and learning together at the BCH beach cottage this past fall. It’s not often you get to be in a relaxing, stress-free environment and have the opportunity to get to know the people you work with everyday. Building relationships between co-workers is essential in being able to work as a team in day to day life on the job. We worked hard during our trip, as this was our scheduled quarterly meeting. But, we played, too! We visited the Cape Lookout lighthouse, road a boat, saw wild horses, and even helped some local fisherman catch some fish. The weather was perfect for a day out on the ocean! We enjoyed our time at the BCH beach cottage and look forward to doing this again one day!

It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas!
Things around Davis house are beginning to look like Christmas. Residents, Caregivers and Administrative Staff all pitched in to hang the stockings, trim the tree and get the porch decorated. Those three reindeer that were over at Hinkle house certainly made an apperance at Davis! This year Hinkle house returned the favor of the beautiful family dinner to Davis. The ladies cooked their heartts out in the kitchen and then served the gentlemen and their families a wonderful traditional Christmas dinner. It was a wonderful time for everyone to get a chance and sit down and enjoy each other’s company. It was a fun night with lots of great food and loving family and friends. Thank you Hinkle house for allowing Davis to have such a beautiful night!

Davis Plants a Fall Garden
Davis had such a successful summer garden the guys have decided to try their gardening skills with a fall garden. On the menu for the fall is, peas, radishes, cabbage, brussel sprouts and lettuce. The sage plant that Isaac gave to Jeremy on our farm trip also made it into the garden! The guys did a wonderful job planting everything and are anxiously awaiting for the time to harvest! Here is Judd and Zann working on getting the peas and radishes into the garden.

Davis Down on the Farm
For the Labor Day holiday, the residents were out of school. They had a wonderful opportunity to visit Harmony Ridge Farm in Tobaccoville NC. At the farm they met farmer, Isaac who showed them around his 15 acre organic farm. The residents saw a plethora of John Deere equipment, a 4 pound sweet potato, greenhouses and lots and lots of vegetables. Isaac gave the residents good ideas for their fall garden, such as, cabbage, broccoli, beets, radishes, lettuce, spinach and many more! After the tour, residents helped Isaac pick 8 pounds of green-beans, sampling as they went of coarse! After all the hard work, the residents enjoyed a nice picnic lunch under a very very old white oak tree. Once lunch was gobbled up residents took a ride with Isaac to see the rest of the farm as well as the neighbor’s horses.
Here we have a picture of our group with Isaac. As well as a picture of Jeremy and Isaac gearing up for their ride!
It was certainly a great time had by all! The residents have been invited back to Harmony Ridge to help Isaac with his future harvest (maybe we can do some pumpkin picking there!)
Isaac was also very kind in giving Jeremy his own Sage plant for him to place in our garden.
