April 2017
ON THE PINECONE COVER
April means fun times at Kirby Pines. The month starts off withApril Fool’s Day, and while
not everyone appreciates a good joke, laughter is a good way to get out of the winter blahs.
Immediately following, onApril 2nd, is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. I don’t know
about you, but this in itself sounds like an April Fool’s Day leftover. Well, it’s not. There
is actually a day set aside to remind everyone of this childhood treat and of the nutritional
value of this simple sandwich. No need to worry, I am certain that Chef Mark will not have
this on the April Brunch menu.
If you are anxious to get out and enjoy the spring weather, then join the Kirby Garden
Gro’ers as they celebrate National Gardening Week April 10th -16th. Already in full swing,
the group is busy planting in the greenhouse and preparing their garden plots. Then on
April 15, come out and celebrate the early arrival of Peter Cottontail at our annual Easter
Egg Hunt. This event is a real treat for grand and great-grandchildren. Check in with Cheryl
Grimes for more details on this fun event.
This year, the IRS is giving us all some extra time to file our income tax. Normally dueApril
15th, the due date this year is April 18th, because the 15th falls on a Saturday. This allows
each of us time to relax and enjoy Easter festivities with friends and family.
Then early in May, Wednesday the 3rd, make plans
now to attend the first of Creative Aging’s Senior
Arts Series programs at Theatre Memphis. Ron
Jewell portrays America’s greatest humorist, Mark
Twain, with a musical performance by celebrated
vocalist Joyce Cobb. This repeat performance is a
must see.
Happy Easter, everyone.
