Lets face it, there is a lot of hard work in a lifetime. Going to school, a career, raising a family, then helping with grandkids. It can be happy work, and if you’re lucky, much of it is. But it always seems like that rest and relaxation part is always over just one more hill. […]
Spring Is Almost Here! Here we stand in the no man’s land between winter and spring… in other words, March. Full of hope and frustrations, March is tempestuous and teasing. Picture my current frame of mind — I’m watching snow fall as I write. Although winter has been comparatively mild this year, it feels like […]
Did you know that on average we spend a third of our lives at work? When you think about it that way, where we choose to spend those working hours takes on a whole new meaning doesn’t it? As an employer, it’s not enough to just issue a paycheck every week. It’s not enough to […]

Happy New Year! As we start a new year, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude for the generous holiday foods and goodies for the staff. So many gifts and greetings came through our front door. Thank you to all who gave in any way to our residents and staff. We are grateful to […]
New Year’s Resolutions are timeless and charming for so many reasons. First of all, deep down, we know we’re not going to keep them…not most of them, or not for a whole year anyway. But we still make them, year after year, enthusiastically. Second, we probably saw our Mom or Dad make them, and who […]
Season’s Greetings! December is here and it’s truly “the most wonderful time of the year!” Once again, the festivity of the holiday season is upon us, with 2022 soon to come to its close and the brightness of a brand-new year just around the corner. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems […]
