Celebrate the ’60s

Join us on August 22nd as wecelebrate the decade of the’60s.Drag out your old bellbottoms and tie dye shirts.Our Happy Hour that day willfeature the songs of that era.Should be lots of fun!!!

Did you know that it has been48 years since the firstWoodstock??

Stories Behindthe Buzzwords

Bees have fascinated humans forcenturies, contributing not only to ourenvironment, but our language, too.Comb through these familiarbee phrases:

Busy as a bee. Worker bees laborconstantly, so industrious people areoften compared to them. The similemay have originated in a story fromGeoffrey Chaucer’s “The CanterburyTales,” written in the late 1300s. Acharacter says women are “busyas bees”—a fitting comparison,considering worker bees are female.

A bee in one’s bonnet. Someone

who is troubled or preoccupied bya problem is said to have a bee inhis or her bonnet. The idiom datesback to a 16th-century translationof Virgil’s ancient poem the“Aeneid,” which described a personwith a “head full of bees.”

The bee’s knees. An example ofRoaring ’20s slang, this phrasemeaning something stylish orexcellent has nothing to do withbees or knees. However, there arebee species that carry pollen backto their hives using pollen basketson their legs where their kneeswould be—if they had them.

Put the bee on someone.Whether focusing on quilting orspelling, certain social gatheringshave been called bees sinceColonial days, possibly due to thesocial nature of a beehive. Frontierfolk would hold fundraising bees tocollect money to pay their churchleaders, leading to the modern-daydefinition of “put the bee on,” whichis to ask for money or donations.

LifeEnrichment

Nature AppreciationOnce a month we feature a

beautiful part of nature to focus on.Last month it was penguins. Learningabout how animals survive in frigidconditions was a sharp contrast to thehot, humid weather we experiencehere in Florida during the summer. Toset up the talk and video, residentswere given a choice of popsicles orice cream. The video featured theemperor penguins of Antarctica, andall residents who attended wereeligible for a raffle prize. Below are thelucky winners.
