A Look Back I Time…
October 13, 1792—The cornerstone of the White House was laid by George
Washington. The building located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, is three
stories tall with over 100 rooms, and was designed y James Hoban. In November of 1800, President John Adams and his family moved in. The building was first known as the “Presidential Palace”, but acquired the name
“White House” about 10 years after its completion. It was burned by British
troops in 1814, then reconstructed, refurbished and reoccupied in 1817.
ADIRONDACK MENNONITE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, INC.
MISSION STATEMENT
Adirondack Mennonite Retirement Community seeks to share God’s love by providing for the older adult
a home and lifestyle that are independent and dignified, secure and sheltering, purposeful and fulfilling,
creative and enriched, all within the framework of our Christian heritage. To that end, we will strive to be
visionary in our recognition of needs and compassionate in our approach to services.
Have you noticed the
beautiful foliage? I believe the colors are as vibrant as we have seen in a
few years. Hopefully it
will still be so by the
weekend.
We continue to get a lot of
solicitors, despite having
posted the “no soliciting”
signs. Please do not let
people you do not know or
are not expecting into your
homes. Politely or impolitely (if you have to shut
the door in their face, do
so) tell them there is no
soliciting on this property.
Any time you have a suspicious vehicle or people
on the property, it is OK to
report it to 911...RIGHT
AWAY. Neither they nor
us can do anything about it
the next day, and to wait
till we arrive may also be
too late.
Elton and I installed a
natural gas furnace in our
home last week. The first
thing we noticed was the
quietness. When the old
oil furnace kicked on, it
would scare the living daylights out of the grandchildren and to be honest, I
jumped a few times myself! The installers also
added more cold air returns and heat registers, I
expect to have a more even
heat and save lots of
money!!! I’ll let you know
how that all works out for
us!!
Have a great week!

Ponderisms (to think about very carefully)
1. Why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’..but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts’?
2. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
3. What disease did cured ham actually have?
4. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on
luggage?
5. Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up like every two hours?
6. Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?
7. Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on
ground?
8. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
9. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
10. Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for
a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
11. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
12. Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things and drink
whatever comes out?”
13. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren’t they just stale bread to begin with?
14. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it FED UP?
15. If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil
made from?
16. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?
17. Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
18. Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
19. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do
Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
20. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn’t zigzag?
21. At income tax time, did you ever notice: When you put the two words ‘The’ and ‘IRS’ together, it
spells … ‘THEIRS’?
