Washington, D.C. Landmarks continues with the Lincoln Memorial

on Sunday, November 21, at 11 a.m. in the Inn with Mary Jo.

Across the shimmering Reflecting Pool from the Washington

Monument, the majestic Lincoln Memorial rises on the National

Mall. In the open central chamber of the pillared, neoclassical

temple, sculptor Daniel Chester French's massive white marble

statue of the 16th U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln, sits...solemn,

dignified, contemplative. Chambers flanking the statue on the

north and south hold carved replicas of Lincoln's Second Inaugural

Address and the Gettysburg Address. Six million visitors flock to

view this national landmark every year.

Inn & Springs

“Come, Ye thankful people,

come; Raise the song of

harvest home.

All is safely gathered in

Ere the winter storms begin.”

NOVEMBER is here, a month

of gray skies, chilly days,

windy nights and cozy

evenings by the hearth.

Although the trees are bare,

our hearts are full of

gratitude for our many blessings, as we anticipate the 2021

Thanksgiving feast on Thursday, November 25th. Families and

friends from coast-to-coast will gather to enjoy turkey “with all the

fixins'”. In the Inn and Springs, mouth watering aromas of

home-baked breads, pies and cookies will waft through the air, as

we prepare for this historic American holiday, first celebrated by

the Pilgrims and Native Americans in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The

month comes to an end with the celebration of Hanukkah, the

“Festival of Lights,” beginning at sundown on November 28th.

Cover StoryJoin our Nursing Staff at 11:00 a.m. on

Tuesday, November 23rd in the Inn

Lounge to discuss the monthly health

talk: What are some of the ways to avoid

being ill? One of the first and foremost

is to wash your hands frequently. Avoid

close contact with people who are ill.

Try to avoid touching your eyes, nose,

and mouth with unwashed hands. Cough

into your elbow, not your hands. Clean

and disinfect frequently touched objects

and surfaces. Change your pillowcase

and sheets often. Eat foods high

in Vitamin D because they help your

immune system such as egg yolks,

mushrooms, salmon, canned tuna and

beef liver. Get at least 8 hours of

sleep. Drink green tea, calm down &

keep moving!

Path to Well-Being

The Watermark at 3030 is excited to introduce a fun, new program titled

"Art in Progress." This innovative program gives residents the ability to

design a drawing, such as Mandala Art and Drawing What You See, in a

cooperative effort. Together, residents work on the project. As the

picture develops so do the bonds between everyone involved. Residents,

associates and family members enjoy seeing the project progress. They

look to see what's been added; noticing new features and colors. As this

beautiful piece of art comes to life so do our connections with each other.

Working together we create bonds, make new friendships, build memories

and become more creative than we ever knew possible. This is a wonderful

way to view each day through the lens of possibility!
