MEETINGS
A sunburnt face,
Sand between my toes,
We hold regular meetings at
Acacia
Lodge, residents, relatives and friends are
all invited to come and discuss ways to
improve the home in terms of nursing and
social care. It is a good opportunity to
meet other friends of the home.
The smell of firewood
In all of my clothes
Tired and dusty,
Full of hot dogs and smore’s
A day at the beach…

"Words"
And the words of inspiration,
That I wrote for you today,
Are just the old enduring truths,
Said in a rhythmic way.
And if my 'borrowed' words of truth,
In some way touch your heart,
VIEWS AND IDEAS
Then I am deeply thankful,
To have had a little part.
In sharing these God given lines,
And I hope you share them too,
With family, friends and loved ones
Thank you all for your continuing support
and we hope you enjoyed reading our
copy of the Acacia News . We at Acacia
Lodge look forward to the
next edition, which will be
equally enjoyable.
From William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
TRIVIA DID YOU KNOW..?
Flowers are pollinated mostly by bees, they do not have ears but have a
remarkable sense of smell.
The tongue of a blue whale is as long as an elephant.
Our eyes are always the same size from birth.
TIP is the acronym for “To Insure Promptness.”
