Happy February everyone.

February is the month of love .Not only for the couples of New Auckland place but for

the staff, resident and visitors as we celebrate Smokey being with us for one Year. I

can only wish and hope that we have brought as much love and joy to Smokey’s life

as he has brought to ours. ♥♥

I would like to say congratulations to the staff & residents of Boyne North. It was

certainly a great team effort in decorating the lift area and the main lounge area for

Australia day. It was great to see some Australian animals come and live with us for

a short period of time, as well as a great display of Aboriginal artifacts. Thank you

Delores for allowing us to display some of your wonderful pieces of art etc.

The display even brought out the soft side of Felix. Felix was spotted curling up next

to” Bandit “our soft toy version of Smokey. Unfortunately the month of love hasn’t

cured Felix unwelcoming nature towards Smokey.

Keep watch this month as the facility receives a bit of a facelift. The painting of the front of the building has been scheduled to commence in the last week of February. A replacement sign for the front of the premises has also been ordered. Until next month Dawn

Valentine’s Day

The most popular theory about Valentine's Day's origin is that Emperor Claudius II didn't want Roman men to marry during wartime. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret weddings. For this, Valentine was jailed and executed. While in jail he wrote a note to the jailor's daughter signing it "from your Valentine". Based on retail statistics, about 3 per cent of pet owners will give gifts to their pets on this day.

In 1537, England's King Henry VII officially declared Feb. 14 the holiday of St. Valentine's Day.

Richard Cadbury produced the first box of chocolates for this holiday in the late 1800sMore than 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate will be sold. . The red rose was the favourite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. 189 million stems of roses are sold in the U.S. on this day. Over 50 percent of all Valentine's Day cards are purchased in the six days prior to the holiday, making Valentine's Day a procrastinator's delight.

220,000 is the average number of wedding proposals on Valentine's Day each year.
