Hi everyone. Well, finally! Warmer weather. Now if the wind would only quiet down. Granted it’s not as bad as it was. We hope you are all doing well and still have some Easter candy and Peeps to munch on. Remember to come in and exchange your books and puzzles. Reading on the porch or patio is now permitted. Call the Center ahead so we can be there to say hello. Talk loud please. It would be nice to hear voices in the halls.

It’s getting closer. The time when those tootsies will be hanging out of the sandals and open-toed shoes. So give them the pampering they need.

Most of us have forgotten what it’s like to take a trip whether it be a day trip or a couple of days. With your help, maybe we can change that. Several of you have asked when the trips will be back. The only problem is we have no idea where and for how long you would like to go. And how-bus or car-pool. Call (603) 543-5998 with you ideas or email [email protected] or send in the survey found in the monthly newsletter on our website-cnhcs.org. Thanks.
Well guess that is it for this week. Don’t forget to call for the Turkey Dinner, the weekly take-out and your trip ideas.
Thought for the Week
Instead of the John, I call my bathroom the Jim. That way I can say I go to the Jim in the morning.
See you next week. Take care. Stay safe. Stay well.
