april showers

The proverb “March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers,” first recorded in 1866, or the shorter, trochaic version, “April showers bring May flowers,” are common expressions of the English-speaking countries.

April showers bring May flowers,That is what they say.But if all the showers turned to flowers,We’d have a quite a colorful day!

There’d be bluebells and cockleshells,Tulips red and green,Daffodils and Chinese squill,The brightest you’ve ever seen.

EVENT RECAP

valentine “sweetheart” dance/valentine cookie bakingWe celebrated the lovely residents with a “Sweetheart Dance” and special Valentine pictures.

Then we baked up sweet Valentine cookies for a special after-dinner treat.

IT’S OUR PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU … word from your executive director“Happy April. It’s a new month meaning new opportunities.

Stay positive, confident and patient. Work toward your goals and smile more.”

—Unknown

“First day of a new month means that no matter where you’ve been ... today you get to start again. Seize it!”

—Unknown

“If you are steady either in success or failure, that is called yoga. Don’t mind for the success or failure. Do act on behalf of the Supreme Lord. And if you are steady in that position, then your working in the spiritual platform is successful.”

THIS MONTH’S heart heroHOSPITALITY, EXCELLENCE, APPRECIATION, RESPECT, TEAMWORK

My name is AARON.

I’ve been in the fine dining/hospitality business since i was 14 years old, which is half my life by now. It’s always been my pleasure to provide excellent service, while maintaining a good repertoire in whatever position I’m in. I’m from Baton Rouge, and like to add a dose of that unique hospitality to my professional life. I’ve been in the Senior lifestyle atmosphere for roughly four years. I find that it has taught me absolute patience and given me an opportunity to learn from residents, a wisdom that cannot be bought or taught in any other field. I intend to immerse myself in this career path fully.
