Thanksgiving is Here at Kirby Pines

I have so many random thoughts to share with you today, so here it goes, but forgive me for no real central theme!

Just came in from the completion of the “Great Kirby Klean-Up” Part II. Despite temperatures starting in the 40’s, we had an enthusiastic group of 30 residents and staff who tackled our task, working the curb and sidewalk areas from our entrance down to Knight Arnold. Where else will you find young people and Seniors alike having fun picking up trash on a public road? That is Kirby Pride!!!

On a bittersweet note, on October the 18th we said “Goodbye” to Martha Fitzhugh. Martha has been an important part of our team for so many years. She leaves with the great news that her long issue of back pain has an end in sight. Don’t be surprised if you see her “Dancing with the Stars” next season.

Man, Oh Man! Aren’t we blessed to have Chef Harold with Kirby Pines Culinary Team? You will read more about him on future pages. What I can say…..his energy, calmness & leadership are making an impact on his team. Harold’s culinary flair is coming through on his menu. Harold’s first “Exquisite Cuisine” was a big hit! More great news…..The Bistro is back open for business and based on the number of clientele, it is a big hit as well.

Lastly, the spirit of the holidays is upon us. Soon, turkey, football, and family will be uppermost on our minds. Let’s all find a moment to share grace, joy, love, and appreciation for the opportunities that our Lord has presented us with. Thank him, then thank all of those you are surrounded by.

Happy Thanksgiving!
