September has turned out to be a wonderful month here at The Carolina Highlands. We have really enjoyed all the Greek culture we have been introduced to this month. We enjoyed visiting Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church for the annual Greek Festival. The food and festivities were simply splendid. Our residents can not quit talking about the wonderful dancing that was seen at the Greek Festival. We enjoyed it so much that for our special entrée night our theme was a night in the Greek isles. Some of the dancers from the church even came out to dance for us that night. We cannot decide what we liked the best; the dancing, the music, or the delicious food!
This month we are also pleased to say that we held a musical tribute for Mr. Otis Lambert. This was wonderful musical was put together by our very own Mrs. Betty Howie and her wonderful team of musicians. Mrs. Howie played the piano and another one of our residents, Mr. Bill Wright, sang alongside of others from the community. It was a very special night for a very special man.
We are really looking forward to the next couple of weeks and the fast approaching holidays. Next week we will be visiting Cypress Bend Vineyard in Wagram, North Carolina. Our sign up sheet for residents going on this trip is continuously growing. With a crowd like ours, we are guaranteed to have a great time. Since we are scheduled to go only one day before the beginning of autumn, we are hoping to have beautiful, breezy, fall weather. Later in the week, we plan to welcome fall with the new wreaths we will be making on our crafty crafts day. We plan to end September with our monthly Birthday Lunch of spaghetti and meatballs. We can hardly wait!
