After years of hanging around, I figured it was time to me to step up and make myself heard. I mean, after all, I do have the best hang out spot at The Carolina Inn…right below my mom, Nancy’s desk…and you know what that means…I get to hear everything! So, I have decided to write each and every one of you once a month to fill you in on everything that goes on while I am pretending to be asleep! *wink* *wink* As always, summer at The Carolina Inn has been a blast. My only complaint is that I haven’t gotten down to my swimsuit size yet; but all hope is not lost…we still have several weeks left. July has been such a wonderful month here at The Carolina Inn. Not only have I enjoyed nibbling on some great hors d’oeuvers at Happy Hour (which might account for inability to shed these extra pounds), but I have found my second favorite place to be…the new lanai! Have you seen it yet? If not, you should definitely make the trip downstairs! No matter how chaotic it gets upstairs, I know I can find peace and quiet, gather my senses and take a great nap on the cool, newly concreted patio level. The gurgling of the fountain combined with the beautiful plants makes for such a calming environment…guaranteed to rival any of those doggie grooming places. The residents seem to love it as well. Lots of times I am not alone down there. I think that the our family members enjoy getting their loved ones out there to get some fresh air…and it’s the perfect place to do so because it is shaded and you know how the sun makes me squint! I can’t help the wrinkles, but I’m trying to keep my crow’s feet down to a minimum at all costs. So, if you’re looking for a great place to relax, get some fresh air while staying out of the sun, the lanai is the place to be! And I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but wanted to tell you all that Cathy and the ladies in the Activities Department are planning some great activities down there as well….one of which will be our annual Assisted Living Week Celebration. This year we will be heading to the islands and celebrating in true Hawaiian fashion. More details to come, but I’ve already got my coconut top and grass skirt ready! Hope to see everyone soon! Please take the time to check out the new lanai. You won’t be disappointed! And be sure to stay tuned for next month’s….View From Below.
