Recently we’ve struggled through difficult times here in our community, . . .
. . . but Boy, Oh Boy! Do we feel lucky!
Water, Water, Everywhere…
… and we’re almost on the brink.
We are lucky, though, to live on an avenue where we all pull together and help each other cope: we slug around sand bags and drain hoses; we deliver sandwiches and coffee; we offer our driveways and extra sump-pumps; we share tears and hugs of support. And we manage.
A Richer Life For Us — Health Care For the Community
Most of us volunteer on a daily basis. We hold doors open, put out the neighbour’s trash, deliver soup to a sick friend, babysit a rooster or pick up a pound of butter. It’s a natural instinct to help, that comes from feeling that we are part of a community. It’s one more way to Show We Care.
The Road is Long With Many a Winding Turn
When a friend is feeling blue, discouraged, or lost, she wants support–not criticism or ridicule. Don’t throw more obstacles in her way. Help her find the right path–for her.
[She] ain’t heavy; [she’s] my [sister].*
Indeed, we can all go astray for a day, and just need encouragement to find our way.
Show you care.

It’s Not Rocket Science
Why is it so difficult for people to understand that they must speak clearly, slowly and loudly if they expect seniors to hear and understand the questions being asked, or the instructions being given?
Social Media!
Social media can be fun!
Indeed, it is fun once we get to the social part of it. But, boy oh boy, can it be challenging if we want to try something different; or make changes to something we’ve already learned how to do; or do something quickly, because “Hey! I already know how to do this!”
