Happy Grandparent’s Day today, to all individuals that have grandchildren, great-grandchildren or great-great-grandchildren. Myself, I am blessed to have my share and welcome more.
The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our lives in unthinkable ways. It also gave us an appreciation for grandparents more than ever before. Far too many of us endured unspeakable hardship and loss. The pandemic also made us cherish connections more.
Grandparents Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day. While we honor our grandparents every day, take an extra moment to appreciate all the joy and wisdom grandparents bring to our lives. If your grandparents don’t live near by, give them a phone call on Grandparent’s Day. The thought really counts. Make sure they know you are thinking of them.
The staff of Heritage Manor sends get-well wishes to all of our loved ones in the hospital.
The staff of Heritage Manor wishes a Happy Birthday this week to Laura Marcantel, Mary Darbonne, Joseph Ortego, Alvin Soileau and Raella Armand.

Activities this week include group exercise, manicures, pokeno, in-room rosary tapes, beauty shop, rosary, bingo sponsored by the Bonnes Novelles, mass, Olympic games and snack wagon.
