Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries Ingredients: •

3 dozen large fresh strawberries

•

•

11 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract

•

Grated chocolate, optional

1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar

•

Graham cracker crumbs, optional

•

Instructions: 1. Prep the strawberries. Remove the stems from the strawberries. Cut a deep “X” in the tip of each berry. Gently spread the berries open.

Tip: Line a baking sheet with parchment and stand each berry on the hull end while making the filling. This is also how you’ll present the cheesecake-stuffed strawberries for serving.

2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar and extract until light and fluffy. Pipe or spoon about 2 teaspoons of filling into the cut side of each berry. If desired, sprinkle with grated chocolate and/or graham cracker crumbs. Chill until ready to serve.

February is known to be the month for cupid, love, flowers, candy and the flowers in our yards will be plentiful. We have had so many rainy days since even before Christmas and today is actually a cloudy, rainy day. We are grateful for the weather we have in California and thankful for such great weather. Along with our New Year’s resolutions, which we set for ourselves each year, we are all loving our retirement, having time for ourselves, our family, our friends, and the personal time we take for our hobbies and interests. We have had a chance to rest from the holidays and now we have the opportunity to make new memories, to enjoy our lives, and reflect on those great moments.

Social Club General News: The new board is busy working on activities for your enjoyment. The board, committees, and all of the volunteers look forward to putting on fun activities and events here at Twin Oaks.

In the past they have had games, bingo, great food, entertainment, dancing, raffles, and much more throughout the year. Keep an eye out for the flyers that go out in your media boxes which are put there as an invitation to come have some fun. Looking forward to seeing you at the events and with this new board there will be new events, different activities, for everyone to have fun.

WMFG: The WMFG returned to their weekly friendship gatherings in the clubhouse from 9:30 to 10:30. Althea and the group invite you to come and have coffee, hot tea, sweet treats, and various conversations. There is no membership, come once, come any time you are free, come check it out, and you are promised a lovely hour. The ladies and the coffee buddies are just here to make you feel

welcome at Twin Oaks. No gossip, and no distension is on the agenda. Just an opportunity for you to get out of your home each Wednesday morning. They do have an end-of-the-month breakfast outing on the last Wednesday of each month. Senior menus, carpooling if needed, is taken into consideration, we celebrate birthdays during those breakfasts, celebrate with balloons, songs, and a birthday treat.

Alumni News: Helen Witmyer who moved three years ago, celebrated her 100th birthday with a large party with 70 plus guests. It was held in the assisted living facility in Ontario, Christian based. I was told by her old neighbors, here at Twin Oaks, she looked beautiful and amazing. Dottie, Althea, and Susan had a lovely lunch which was provided, a large spread with sandwiches, salads, and fruit. There was a large, decorated cake and a cupcake tree along with pink roses, her favorite flower.

Her entire family was there in attendance to celebrate. While living at Twin Oaks she was very active in the crafters group they had in years past. She was part of the Social Club for many years and is a faithful member of Purpose Church Pomona. She is currently back to crocheting and knitting beanies for your head, which she gives her purpose in life again.

Birthdays: There is a group that goes out each Wednesday evening to the Magnolia Bistro in Claremont. This group goes primarily to hear Micheal Ryan and his band and have a light dinner. In December they took the opportunity to celebrate Gail Pellettera’s birthday that evening. Micheal Ryan and his group came to the table to serenade this lovely lady with her birthday song.

Happy birthday to all of the February and March babies. Please celebrate your special day filled with love, fun, laughter, and the making of new memories.

Update/Enhancement: When I wrote the article about the Christmas Open House, I was unaware that those lovely handmade ornaments that we put on our tables as decorations were made by Sally Huskey, our manager. They were very intricate, beautiful and you were able to take one home as a keepsake. A big thank you to Sally for the time she took to make each and every ornament as a special memento from Twin Oaks.

Sad News: Sharon Carter, a long-time resident, passed away in early December.

She recently moved into a care facility which she completely loved. She was a member of a private bunco group, the Shady Ladies, WMFG, she played cards in the past with a full house of residents in our card room.

Eventually this group went to a group of 4 who continued to play weekly. In her early years here at Twin Oaks, she was very active in all of the social Club activities, volunteered, and had worked at Cal Poly.

Sharon loved to travel. Cruising was her favorite way of seeing the sights. No information on her service was provided. A celebration of Life was held on January 10th in Claremont at the home of her son. Sharon had 2 children, a son and a daughter.

Daryl Bissell (space 63) passed away in December. He originally moved into the Park with his mother and father until their passings. He developed multiple sclerosis and handled it with a lot of dignity. He was a really sweet man who sat in his driveway for hours in a special chair waving and greeting everyone who came around the corner. He was a serious Lakers fan and went to games

as often as his health would allow. He had lots of friends that came in and out to see him and sometimes they would even have a jam session in his home. Daryl loved music and loved his 2 furry friends who were with him all the time, a cat lover. There were no details made available for any time of burial or memorial service. May God bless him and we will miss seeing him as we go around that corner.

Kim Garant passed away on November 26th at the age of 98. She was preceded in death by her husband James and daughter Susan.

She grew up in Tokyo and met her husband as he was stationed in Okinawa. She was a professional seamstress and a loving, devoted mother. - Brian, son Condolences to all our residents who have lost friends and family. Grief is difficult yet it is part of losing someone because we loved and cared for them so much.

Inspirations: We welcome February with love in our hearts and smiles on our faces.

February is the border between winter and spring.

The Lighter Side

Plan ahead

A groundhog named Phil woke up on February 2nd, peeked out of his burrow, saw his shadow, and sighed dramatically.

He turned to his wife and said, "Six more weeks of winter... but at least we'll have Valentine's Day to look forward to!"

She rolled her eyes and replied, "Honey, you say that every year. And every year you still forget to get me flowers."

Phil thought for a second, then grinned.

"True... but this time I'm prepared! I already ordered them."

"Really?" she asked, surprised.

"Yeah," he said proudly, "I got you a dozen roses... they're just six weeks late because of the shadow thing."

The Lion Tamer A man tells the circus master that he wants to join the circus as a lion tamer.

The circus master asked if he has any experience and the man says, "Why, yes.

My father was one of the most famous lion tamers in the world, and he taught me everything he knew."

"Really?" said the circus master. "Did he teach you how to make a lion jump through a flaming hoop?"

"Yes he did," the man replies.

"And did he teach you how to have six lions form a pyramid?"

"Yes he did," the man replies.

"And have you ever stuck your head in a lion's mouth?"

"Just once," the man replies.

The circus master asks, "Why only once?"

The man says, "I was looking for my father."
