What advice could you give to the younger

generation about long lasting marriages?

"To always be willing to be flexible. Not only with your

children, but with you spouse as well!"

~Residents Charles and Grace Hammond, married 67 years

"Stick it out and remember it will get better!"

~Residents Arnold and Roz Dano, married 62 years

The month of February is full of exciting events to help our

Residents and the Community to Thrive! Not only is it the month for

President's and Valentine's Day, but also for some fun and exciting

Watermark University classes taught by Residents, Volunteers

and Employees! Resident Meg has her class, Adult Coloring, which

meets every Wednesday at 10:00am in the King Arthur Room. It has

been proven that adult coloring is therapeutic and is also great for

your motor skills. For more great classes being offered, please check

the daily sheet or grab a catalog, which is located in the lobby.

If you would like a catalog/information or would like to teach a class,

please call Gina at 815/477-6582.

The Inn

Baby it’s cold outside! Inside,

however, it's warm and

THRIVING! We will be toasty

warm while cheering Super

Bowl LIV on Sunday, February

2, at 5:00pm. Do we have any

wagers on which team will

win?? Then we will have our

popular Candlelight Dinner

with music by Violinist, Sarah Papic on Thursday, February 13th, at

6:30pm. Finally rounding out the month, we will be celebrating

Valentine's Day with a Valentine's Day Social with music

by LaVerne Bobkowski on Friday, February 14 from 2:00-3:00pm.

February is indeed a great month to THRIVE! with The Fountains,

where Super Bowl parties, Candlelight Dinners, Valentine’s Day

Socials, and friends abound with love and good cheer.

XOXO,

Amy Dunn, Executive Director

Love is in

the Air! You gotta have heart...and we do! Wehave a four-chambered organ thatpumps blood through our bodies. We

think of our hearts as the center of

personality, intuition or feeling. "In your

heart, you know ...;" We place our hand

over it when we pledge allegiance to the

flag. We find solace in a heartfelt

embrace, an honest conversation is a

"heart-to-heart", a difficult conversation

as "breaking my heart." When conveying

the truth, we say, “I cross my heart and

hope to die”. As we age, the word "heart"

seems to be used more frequently in

overcoming cardiac challenges and

discussions about the need to change

eating habits to something more "heart-

healthy." But, let’s “get to the heart” of

this conversation…and ”follow your

heart”!

Path to Well-Being

February is the month of love, and we are seeing plenty of it here with our

many couples who are married or soon-to-be married! Here at the

Fountains, we enjoy seeing Residents make new friends, and LOVE seeing

Residents who find an even closer connection with each other! Connie and

John both moved into the Fountains in 2018 as single Residents and now

are happily engaged! Both Connie and John are active in the Community

with being involved in the Ambassador Club and you can always see them

walking around talking and helping out other Residents. We asked this

newly engaged couple, what advice could you give to others and they said,

"Remember, your're never too old to be in love!" Make sure to take a trip

down the "Tunnel of Love" and see the wedding photos of many of our

Residents living here.
