AAAT We are pleased
to announce that we have retained our 4 star
status, both in the cabins and the park (they
are assessed independently). Our assessor
Margaret, noticed a few upgrades and changes in
response to suggestions she made last year, so
that was favourable. She was kind enough to take
the time this year to explain the rather
complicated assessment process to Sel, as she
did for Karen last time, and listen to
Selís thoughts re flying plans in cabins.
While we all know why and what they are
assessing, it is very interesting to have their
thought processes explained...such as why
stainless steel handles on cupboard doors are
preferable to plastic ones, no matter if less
expensive. We were also pleased to retain our
4.5 star rating in Amarco. Cleanliness and
Maintenance rated ëOutstandingí so a
big thank you to all our staff who work hard to
maintain this good standard...pressureís
on for next year now!!
Karen and Anne
attended the presentation dinner for the second
CRBE Awards. There were 12 Categories to enter;
we entered only one...and won! This submission
was difficult to prepare as most awards expect
an A4 page answer to the questions, whereas this
selection panel required 1/2 page at most. The
questions were quite broad, so the difficulty
lay in accurately replying while being succinct.
However, we must have done well enough...or
maybe it was the photo of the staff wearing
funny glasses & bunny ears?! Who knows? Our
sexy trophyís on view at
Reception!
Here they come!
Some are already here. It gets earlier every
year and every year we are eager to see them. We
know that we are entering our fun, social time
of the year!! Lots of laughs and silly costumes.
This year we hope the crew notice our lovely new
easy to wipe table tops - because of course
Graeme was thinking of you (visitors +
residents)...when he chose was told which ones
to buy!!
Not to put
pressure on Graeme and Anne, however our next
Cuppa Day will be the very day they return to
work from their Canada Holiday! We will have
raffles as usual and of course, we will look
forward to travel anecdotes - we know there will
be a few! (We have seen a few of their photos on
the Net and it all looks so very beautiful...and
cold!) Time will be 10am as usual, bring pennies
for raffles, mug and join us for some frivolity
and food! Date is Friday 23rd May. See you
there.
* Tried to
change batteries for the park
camera, but put them in upside down
and then got cross because they
wouldnít work. * Left the
drill outside near the bird bath for
a few days...the height on the roof
must have gone to his
head? * Forgot that
Koffee, Kats and Keyboards do not
mix! Formula: One cat +
spilled coffee x blue air = no
keyboard + scared airborne
cat!! The
children were lined up in the
cafeteria of a Catholic elementary
school for lunch. At the head of the
table was a large pile of apples.
The nun made a note and posted it on
the apple tray: ìTake
only ONE. God is
watching!î Moving
further along the lunch line, at the
other end of the table was a large
pile of chocolate chip
cookies. A
child had written a note: ìTake
all you want. God is watching the
apples.î

THE FINAL INSPECTION
The Soldier stood and faced his
God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his
brass.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other
cheek?
To My Church have you been
true?"
The Soldier squared his shoulders and
said,
"No, my Lord, I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully
rough.
But, I never took a dollar,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too
steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their
fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll
understand.
There was a silence all around the
throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's
streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
