Message From The Founders

Last month’s Message from the Founders was a focus on Breast Cancer Awareness Month. October holds a special place in all of our hearts here at Aging Times however this October became a whirlwind of a month full of flooding, storm damage, and a whole lot of chaos not just for us but for many of you. We hope you are doing well and are on a road to being back in a routine of calm and back in your everyday routine.

In the mix of all the chaos we certainly did not lose sight of the iconic month and participated in many community events and pinking out wherever possible. We want to take a moment for special recognition to the month of October. To our heroes, our family, and friends we hope you had the opportunity to celebrate in your own way. We may have lost half of our month to clean up and working through flooded homes, streets, schools being out of service and more but we certainly did not lose our fight and honor.

November however, is a time of reflection and monumental history. First and foremost, it is National Literacy Month. This month Adrienne is going to take us on an adventure through time and go back to the evolution of ink and text. Yes, I am referencing books and not just e-books we are experiencing paperback and hard cover books! I have a passion for literacy and how far it has evolved; classics like The Odyssey and A Tale of Two Cities remains two of my all-time favorites. Literacy can tell so much in so little; it can also bring us into a world that no one knows except us and the characters in our readings.

Literacy also gives us history. History like we’ve never known it before. We use these readings to tell stories and create imagery of events including some of our most important monumental moments and people, this includes our Veterans' experiences both witnessed and lived through. Veterans Day also is celebrated this month and what an appropriate time to reflect on our history and our heroes. We want to salute all of our Veterans and thank you for your service past, present, families and friends we thank you for all of your sacrifice and dedication to our country.

November is also the kick off to our holiday season. We absolutely must acknowledge Thanksgiving and the holiday season kick off. With the countdown beginning and what we hope are the best times around the corner we wish you blessings and joy in hopes you have the opportunity to be with your family, friends, and loved ones this Thanksgiving. We are blessed to have all of you in our lives and thank you for your continued support.

From Our Family to Yours; Priscilla & Bruce Kincaid, Founders/Owners
