April is a great month for many reasons. We usually have nice weather and the temperature doesn’t get too hot until May and June. April is a month where we play jokes on each other. Many people use the entire month to be aware or observe certain causes. April is Autism Awareness Month, International Guitar Month, Keep America Beautiful Month, National Frog Month (not sure why we need to have a month for frogs), National Child Abuse Prevention Month, National Garden Month, Stress Awareness Month, National Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and a slew of other things to be aware of. It sure would keep one busy if they were to observe all of these things. Out of all of the things that are celebrated and observed in April National Humor Month has to be the best. Everyone likes to hear jokes and laugh. Many people say, “Laughter is the best medicine.” I know I feel better when I am laughing, so I will end this article with a joke courtesy of www.lotsofjokes.com. Innkeeper: The room is $15 a night. It is $5 if you make your own bed. Guest: I’ll make my own bed. Innkeeper: Good. I’ll get you some nails and wood. Rachelle and Bruce during our American Heroes: Portraits of Service event. Jokes and Hoaxes and Pranks, Oh My! While its origins are not entirely clear, April 1, commonly known as April Fools’ Day, has been a date for playing pranks for centuries, sometimes on a large scale. For example, in 2000, a news release was issued announcing the 15th Annual New York City April Fools’ Day Parade. Besides throngs of spectators, two major news affiliates showed up to cover the phony event. To read about other classic capers, visit the April Fool Archive at www.MuseumOfHoaxes.com. Join us on Saturday, April 2, at 2:30 p.m., for more jokes and puns! Bring your jokes and funny stories to share!

Having fun at Saltgrass Steak House!
The theme for March in theCircle of Friends was “Women’sHistory Month”. We learnedabout Indian and pioneer women,women during times of war, andthe Women’s LiberationMovement here in the US. It’samazing to consider how the roleof women in our society haschanged so significantly in such ashort period of time, and even
more amazing is that many of ourown residents played a significantrole in this evolution!
JoAnn and Monica: 4 green thumbs!
We’ve been busy gardening inthe Neighborhood courtyard.While some of last season’sflowers were still salvageable,many were not and we decided toplant herbs in their place! JoAnnhas a long history with plants andproduce and she led the way,teaching us all about the properway to grow various items. One ofour themes this month was“Agriculture Day”...Very fitting!
Our ’50s party was a smash hit!Belmont transformed back in timeto a decade of poodle skirts, maltshops and juke box tunes. Thank
you for joining us!
The music had our toes tapping!
The diner menu and milk shakeswere crowd favorites.
Thank you to our wonderfulJosephine’s Kitchen team for doingan outstanding job.
The Bistro transformed into a 1950’sdiner with Katie’s Milk Shake stand.
Helen played the part with her highponytail and big bow.
