Imagine how one item can bring together so may memories and new knowledge; that is Show and Tell! Betty spent many years working on Fort Huachuca. For her retirement, she was given this scrapbook. TRANSPORTATION Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Pete is showing us a very special bottle opener! Marjorie is showing us her weather dial. Ginger is showcasing her Olympic pin assortment. Super cool!

2 September s Photo of the Month Dave wins Photo of the Month. He is showcasing his love for Cheetos and Pepsi. Who wants a Cheeto? Go see Dave and he can help! Just teasing. Thanks, Ingrid and Dave, for the photo! Volleyball! That s What s Up! We all thought we would give Volleyball a try this past August. Boy, was it fun! I had no idea we had so many Olympic athletes! Everyone played an hour straight. Nothing but a good time! Check out the aerial view of our game! Pretty cool! Ingrid and Dave having fun! Lida s Gardening Corner Lida has done an amazing job with the upkeep of the flower gardens behind Mountain View Gardens. It is a tough job, pulling weeds and watering the flowers and plants as needed. Lida does it, though, every day! When you have an opportunity during one of your walks around the community, stop and check out the gardens. Also, feel free to pick a freshly ripened tomato or chili pepper. Just remember when removing a tomato or pepper to twist the fruit from the vine instead of pulling it. It is much healthier for the plant! Lida is watering the flowers. So pretty! Green tomatoes!

Marion participates weekly in our Writers Group that is held every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. Please enjoy her poem: The Robin I saw a Robin swiftly go. Pulling a worm out nice and slow. Then she went and gobbled it up. Babies were waiting there to sup. Those little heads reached for the sky. They were ugly, and that s no lie. She regurgitated a worm. Darn thing could still jerk and squirm. When babies were fed, she left the nest. To find more worms, to do her best. Some people should stop, look and learn. How Robins show their love in turn. Marion Peterson September 23rd: Our first ever Art and Quilt Show will begin today at 2 p.m. This will be an exciting event.
