Happy Birthday Rubber Duck!
The residents in our Oshkosh senior community gathered to pay tribute and to help celebrate the birthday of Rubber Duck. It was National Rubber Ducky Day!
In 1970, Jim Henson performed the song “Rubber Duckie” as Ernie on Sesame Street, and the rubber duck bath toy has been an iconic American symbol ever since. Rubber ducks have been around since the rise of the rubber industry in the late 1800s, but no one knows their exact origin. For the residents at Azura Memory of Oshkosh, it was a day filled with lots of fun activities from floating rubber ducks in a pool of soap filled water, to joining voices together to sing happy birthday to our friend, “Rubber Duck”. They shared stories of raising their own children and using a rubber duck to provide comfort to them and shared how it would make their children laugh. The day was filled with a lot of fun, laughter and great memories of a time true tradition. “Rubber Duckie, thanks for the memories!”
"We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you." - Gail Sommers and Deborah Guse
