CROFTON, Md. — Millie wished for a Rita, Dorothy, a spring necklace, Joan wished for a blanket and pillow.
"I came up with this idea because I thought it would be fun for each resident to make a wish."
Each wish splashed on a four leaf clover, open to all who had the power to grant a wish.
"I wish for yellow roses," one resident said.
"I wished for popcorn," said another.
"This job is not a job, this is a calling."
The boss of this place was right, just the look on Ms. Shirley's face said it all. She turned 100 years old on St. Patrick's Day.
She wanted a shrimp dinner with cocktail sauce, and of course, a wish for dessert.
Barbara wished for a pretty spring blanket, Mary Jane an extra large hot fudge sundae.
All their dreams came true, thanks to the staff at Spring Arbor.
