She is the arts and crafts wizard and there is always a crowd around the table when she is here. Merrily does more than just arts and crafts. She brings her smile, she sings and talks and tells of all kinds of fun and interesting things. The happiest people are the ones who make others happy, thank you Merrily for making so many days brighter and always being such a positive person.

3 Father and Daughter Duo We had the pleasure of Iris Revson and her father, Sam recently. Her father has been in the entertainment business for many years, he also sings and plays harmonica. Iris always makes us smile and we look forward to seeing Sam again in the future! Baking, music, walking or having a manicure, there is always something going on in Cyrus. Pictured above L.to R.

Some of our favorite places are Dania Beach, Markham Park where we can watch the model airplanes flying and driving through Hollywood and looking at some of the homes.

Everyone celebrated with cake, balloons and Sidney enjoyed reminiscing and asking where the years have gone. We also celebrated Bertha Fishman s birthday and Stella Marquez. Happy Birthday everyone!
