Precious Moments
Apricots are good sources of vitamins A and
C, and are loaded with potassium, fiber and
antioxidants. Kernel oils and other extracts
from the crop are often used in skin and hair
care products.

In years past, it was a regular habit for a man to make
a stop at his local barbershop for a haircut, shave, and
the finishing touch: a shoeshine.

We will be having our Annual Easter
Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 15, at

and great-grandchildren to this fun
and awesome event. There will be
face painting, Easter crafts and yummy
refreshments.
Chef Kyle has a special Easter Sunday
Brunch planned for us on April 16, at
10 a.m.
Visitors came to bead us!
Shiners are still around today, and they continue
to have a deep pride in their work, viewing their
profession as an art and devoting years to perfecting
their polishing techniques. Many people choose to
have their shoes shined while they are wearing them,
resulting in a personal, relaxing experience that
shiners are honored to provide.
Due to workplace and everyday fashions becoming
increasingly more casual, today’s shoeshine stands are
a little harder to come by, and are typically found in
airports and specialty shops.
Greetings Barrington
Family and Friends
Please join in the fun! We will be having
our second annual art show and wine
tasting on Thursday, April 26, from
3-5 p.m. Residents, family and friends
are encouraged to join in the fun and
view the amazing art work from our very
talented residents.
The Shoeshine Tradition
In addition to barbershops, shoeshine stands were a
fixture at train stations, where businessmen and other
travelers could stop for a polish, ensuring they reached
their destination looking their best. “Shoeshine boys”
would also patrol busy city streets, carrying their
supplies in a box and offering a shine to passersby.
April 2017
April is here and love is in the air. Spring
has sprung! The weather is perfect, and
we have many new, fun events and
activities planned to excite you.
In addition to the fresh seasonal offerings
at stores and farmers’ markets, apricots are
available frozen, canned and dried year-round.
California grows nearly all of the apricots in
the U.S., while Turkey and Iran are the largest
producers worldwide.

Lifestyle
With yellow-orange skin tinted red on one
side, apricots resemble peaches but are
more closely related to plums. Classified as
stone fruits — meaning a large “stone” or pit
surrounds the seed — they are in season from
April through July.
Originating in Asia about 4,000 years ago,
apricots were later introduced to Europe,
where they soared in popularity. The Greeks
called them “golden eggs of the sun.” Spanish
and French explorers brought the fruit to the
Americas in the 1700s.
The
The featured event for the month is Taco
Bout a Fiesta on Thursday, April 20, at
6:30 p.m. We will have a night of Latin
food and music.
Latin Breeze with DJ Martha, Lady of
Salsa, will have us dancing all night!
There will definitely be a lot of dancing,
eating and singing. Join in the fun and
learn how to Tango or maybe Salsa!
