Love and Chocolate
“All you need is love. But a little chocolate
now and then doesn’t hurt.” —Charles
M. Schulz
Please join us on Tuesday, February 14th, from
12:00-2:00 for our Valentine’s Day Banquet.
Entertainment will be provided by Mr. C. This should
be a great opportunity to enjoy family time with loved
ones. Seating is limited, so please RSVP to Jamie or
Amanda by Monday, February 6th. We look forward to
seeing you there!
Go Nutty for Heart Health
February is National Heart Month, a good time to do
something beneficial for this vital organ. One simple
suggestion is to incorporate nuts or nut butters into
your diet. Tree nuts like almonds, walnuts and pecans,
as well as peanut and almond butters, have all been
found to reduce cholesterol, which can decrease the risk
for heart disease.
The Human Heart
Not only is the heart a
familiar symbol of Valentine’s
Day, but it’s also the focus of
another February observance:
American Heart Month.
Celebrate this incredible organ
with these facts:
• Every day, the heart beats
around 100,000 times.
During the average person’s
lifespan, the heart may beat
3 billion times.
• A healthy adult heart beats
60 to 100 times a minute at
rest. Well-trained athletes
usually have a slower
resting heart rate.
• In most people, the heart is
located in the center of the
chest, between the lungs,
with the largest part of the
organ tilting toward the
left. The left lung is smaller
than the right lung to allow
room for the heart.
• Make two fists and hold
them together. This is
roughly the size of
your heart.
• The average heart weighs
between 8 and 10 ounces,
or about the same weight
as an apple.
• A man’s heart is about
25 percent larger than a
woman’s and can pump
more blood in a single
beat. Female hearts make
up for their smaller size by
beating faster, by about
8 beats per minute.

Bowling is a big hit at
Antebellum!
Art class with Jayme & Kathy,

always terrific. Each month they

WOW!
“Romance is the glamour which
turns the dust of everyday life
into a golden haze.”
—Elinor Glyn
“In a great romance, each person
basically plays a part that the
other really likes.”
—Elizabeth Ashley
Everyone Loves Chloe!
These men did a fabulous job
of entertaining us, as they are
members of a very popular
barbershop quartet group who
perform for special occasions!
We were so grateful for them!
“Romance is thinking about
your significant other, when you
are supposed to be thinking
about something else.”
—Nicholas Sparks
“The word ‘romance,’ according
to the dictionary, means
excitement, adventure and
something extremely real.
Romance should last a lifetime.”
—Billy Graham
“I am a die-hard romantic at
heart and love the idea of love.
But, when it comes to love, I
kinda believe in the old-world
charm of romance—where
there’s mystery and intrigue.”
—Esha Gupta
Ulmaria sang for us!
Basketball is another activity
we enjoy. It’s fun to have a
friendly competition and to stay
active is the end goal!
“To me, romance and suspense
go hand in hand. What’s more
suspenseful than wondering
how two wonderful people can
manage to get together in spite
of the world going crazy
around them?”
—Maggie Shayne
“Romance is tempestuous.
Love is calm.”
—Mason Cooley
