"Take Time to Dream"

Hi All :-D

Oh my, a resident flipped my plan for this blog....she came in and announced our entertainer and friend lost his dad.  She even had two cards in her hand, one from us, Canterbury residents and staff and one from her.  What a nice gesture! That really had me take stock and change gears for a minute.

A working title for today's blog should be Our Town, or Our Residents.  The reason I came here was walking by a residents door and seeing a little sticker, that said a lot.

Take Time To Dream.

I think I have said enough, and I believe you get still another picture of life at The Canterbury.  I will leave you time to dream :)

It's nice here, cozy in the building with a gentle rain outside.  Come on over.

This time of year

Hi All!

I think this time of year is the best around here.  We can still enjoy our lovely patio yet inside just seems cozier.

Our residents are enjoying rides to grocery shopping today, and it is nice that their shopping bags are delivered right to their kitchen counter.

We will enjoy getting together to listen to piano music this afternoon.

By the way, Bob, our fill-in van driver (Brian is driving across country on vacation), picked up some muffins for coffee hour:

"Cinnamon, bananna, raisin, bran...a lot of good ones" he says.

See you soon, it's good to be at The Canterbury.  See for yourself, Come take a tour today!

E mail me and we will set it up, or call 860-232-4833

Dinner; something to blog about

Hi everyone!

My goodness!  Staring me in the face when I opened the Canterbury fridge was a Lobster face-eek!

Quite a dinner served here last night, along with potato salad with dill and tomatoes with mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar (and more dill-yummy).

I checked, the price was $15-.  Not bad!  Dessert, salad, drinks etc. all included.  I pay one price for the month, a discounted rate.

If you would like to visit and come to dinner please contact me at 860-232-4833, or email me with "dinner" in the subject line at Canterburyretirement@yahoo.com

Thanks!  and happy August.  Enjoy the blue moon.
