Dog Days
By Diane Dare
Named for Sirius, the
Dog Star, “dog days” refers to the hot sultry weather of August,
and is also defined as a “period of stagnation and inactivity.”
This is NOT true at our Elfers Center! Cars fill the parking
spaces as folks participate in cool summertime activities or
board our air-conditioned bus for day trips to cool
destinations. August 1st is Friendship Day. Remember
that summer camp verse about “make new friends but keep the
old?” You’ll find new and old friends here at Elfers. Speaking
of summer camp, did you know August 10th is National
S’mores Day? Graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows –
sounds healthy to me. Yum!
