We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here ‘neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you’ve given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.

– C W Johnson

Last week the residents at Carrington Court made these wonderful kites! They made their own  unique designs by using shaving cream and food coloring. They hung them outside of their doors. Next time you are walking around the hallways make sure you take a look!

To celebrate the wonderful mother’s that we have here at Carrington Court we held a dinner for our residents and two of their very special guests. It is our own tradition to hold the Mother’s Day Dinner each year. Being a mother is a wonderful gift. Each one of our residents have not only cared for and raised there own children, but have also loved and cared for the Carrington Court staff as much as we love and care for them. Each one of these mothers has taught and shared so much with us. It was wonderful so see so many smiling faces as we celebrated these amazing women and mothers in our lives. We are so honored to have so many wonderful mothers in our community, each of them have such amazing stories to tell.

Happy Mother’s day to all of you!
