We’re Celebrating Spring!

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” — Anne Frank

We’re finding ways to stay safe, healthy, and happy while following the Buncombe County “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order. There’s so much we have to be thankful for, including an amazing and dedicated staff, milestones to celebrate, and a gorgeous spring! The grounds at Ardenwoods are bursting with trees and flowers in full bloom, including begonias, dahlias, and tulips, just to name a few. We encourage you to take a walk (practicing social distancing, of course!) around the grounds to see if you can spot some of the flowers in this post — then don’t forget to snap some photos of your own!

Happy 100th Birthday, Hedi!

Because of the coronavirus outbreak, Hedi may not have been able to celebrate her one hundredth birthday with a huge party like she’d planned, but her son Bruce and daughter-in-law Tricia were still determined to make her day memorable. They showed up along with WLOS to surprise this spectacular centenarian on her special day!

Watch the WLOS video to learn more about Hedi’s amazing life and some of the funny gifts she received from friends!

This recipe will come in handy if you are entertaining family and friends, or if you want a meal you can eat on all week long. This little formula works great for one to ten quiches.… Read More
