Dear family members and friends of Andrews Senior Care,
We had an amazing October at our homes
We celebrated Thanksgiving with special meals and teas, visited pumpkin patches, apple orchards and held harvest parties. We also celebrated Halloween with parties, pumpkin carving competitions and, in the case of Andrews of Summerside, a haunted house for the residents. It was such a fun month.
This month we will honour our veterans at Remembrance Day services and start preparing for the Christmas season It should be a very fun November!
Sincerely,
Andrews Senior Care















































































‘They died for what they believed in’

I would certainly advise them to be as versatile as they can be, willing to accept change and willing to change career direction as doors open up for them - Michael Morrison


There’s so many men now who physically mature but don’t have that sense of responsibility They start a family but they don’t take the responsibility that goes with it.
- Raymond Toews

Listen to your better half, which I don’t necessarily do You should listen to the people that you care about - Wayne Schleyer

He’s gotta have some initiative, enough to get him out and not hanging around Don’t smoke and don’t drink - Ervan Sonier

I think sometimes when we think of manliness we think of our heroes, of the athlete who reaches the top of his sport and has fame and he’s like the kind of the walk Or the business person or professional who, along with their skills and their hard work, achieve great heights Or the average Joe who always seems at ease in any situation and never has a sense of butterflies or anxiety of any sort, just always relaxed I think often we think well “I’d like to be like him,” but I think there’s more to manliness than just that
When you consider the growth in relationship with women, how today we treat women with a new sense of respect that perhaps past generations didn’t. They’re allowed to go forth and excel in their careers and we speak to them with good manners and a good sense of our appreciation for who an what they are.
I would hope that in this generation there might be a revolution in what we call manhood in that perhaps all of, or many, will come to the point of appreciating who they are, where they are in life, also willing to give that same sense to those around them who treat others with a sense of admiration and affirming of who and what they are and offering friendship and encouragement. I think much of what I say is summed up in a poem by Rudyard Kipling entitled ‘If’. It was a poem penned for his dead son who died in war and has many, many verses but it closes with this one:
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And which is more you’ll be a Man, my son! - David Hamilton
-

I would say to stay away from drinking. - Terence McKenna

If I had to do it over again, first thing I’d do is learn about spending money and how to save money and invest money for your old age. Make sure you keep enough to have some fun in life while you ’ re going through it
- Lenny Williams
