My contribution to adult day is to keep smiling. At home, Freida is enjoying the fresh spring air. The doors are open, the air is blowing and I m cleaning up my home. I have two parakeets and three Pomeranian dogs. It s not quiet around here but at least it s a nice sound, said Freida. I was lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom, she recalls. I Freida Somers have three children. The oldest is Kimberly and the twins are Anthony and Suzanne. The family lived near the Florida Keys and took advantage of the beaches. We had pool parties, said Freida. I was the coleslaw queen and my cousin was the baked bean queen! We had eight months of summer! Dominoes: A game of strategy, critical thinking and healthy competition. You gotta laugh when you put a pipe cleaner hat on your head! Seriously: Making these simple constructions increases eye hand coordination, design skills and group involvement.
