the holiday of St. Valentine.

~ In the 1800s, doctors commonly advised heartbrokenpatients to eat chocolate to soothe pain.

Jennie Hofkamp

“Being stuck in a snowstorm in Iowawith my aunt got me started on

crocheting,” claims new residentJennie Hofkamp, M-I.

Growing up in an itinerantmilitary family, the changingArmy communities offered

opportunities for helping eachother, a natural for Jennie with her

3 siblings (including a brotherdisabled with polio)!

Whether using a crochet pattern orcreating something from years ofexperience, her collection covers

all ages of appeal. Rushing tocomplete for the Holidays, twenty

sets of her scarves & hats weregiven to the VA Hospital to warm

both bodies and hearts!

Jennie enjoys lunching in M-IIamong other social occasions, and

we are grateful she chose ourcommunity for enriching her

already large circle of friendships!~~~~~~~~

“Happy 10-Year Anniversary, M-II ‘A.L.’!”

2007 saw the huge addition to Manor II of a diningroom to accompany the enlarged apartments for

residents needing Assisted Living services!

This photo pre-dates the months of heavy machinery,dust and gracious residents willing to be shuffled and

inconvenienced for the final remodel.

To be a true ‘Continuum of Care’ campus allows a most important element:staying near friends and acquaintances and familiar places along each stage

of each precious life.________

February 2017Mother Teresa’s Verses about ‘Passing Love Forward’:

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-serving; Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, others could destroy overnight; Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.It was never between you and them anyway.
