JANUARY 2020

Dear Residents, Family and Friends of GlenbrookeHappy New Year! As we close out 2019, I want to take a moment to reflect on all the hospitality and generosity you have shown to me and the entire Glenbrooke staff. Thank you for all the joy and friendship you have given to us. It’s a pleasure to be at your service!

I know this New Year is going to be great for us all! We have many projects underway to keep your home looking and feeling great. I am excited to see the transformation as we make enhancements to the Main Building and Clubhouse.

I wish you all a safe, happy and healthy New Year. I look forward to advancing our friendship and allowing our partnership to continue to flourish.

Very truly yours,

Gina

A Canned ClassicWarm, comforting, and “M’m! M’m! Good,” Campbell’s brand of chicken noodle soup has been a mealtime staple for over 80 years.

Recipes for both chicken soup and broth with noodles have been around for hundreds of years. Yet, combining the two wasn’t common until 1934, when Campbell’s Head Chef, Ernest Lacoutiere, created the food company’s new product called Noodle With Chicken Soup; a can sold for about 10 cents.

Although an instant bestseller, the condensed soup’s popularity really heated up a few years later, when radio audiences heard its name misread on air as Chicken Noodle Soup. Because of the flub, orders began pouring in from grocery stores as people wanted to try the “new” flavor. Campbell’s officially changed the soup’s name in 1938.

Through the decades, the soup continued to be a favorite with both adults and kids, whether as a convenient meal, a home remedy for the common cold or as a quick way to warm up on a chilly day.

Today, Campbell’s makes and sells more than 200 million cans of its Chicken Noodle Soup each year.

Residents’ SpotlightCongratulations to George and Lynne Blackwood, our Residents of the Month for January.

Lynne grew up in New Jersey and George grew up in Colorado and Oklahoma.

George and Lynne met at “The Mouse Trap” in Cocoa Beach, fell in love and married in August of 1967 and lived in Indian Harbour Beach. They have two children and two grandchildren. Lynne was an elementary school principal at Gemini, Melbourne Beach, and Sherwood. And George was a teacher at Holland and Pineda Elementary Schools.

During their summers off, they would travel and spend time at their timeshares. Their favorite spot was Sky Valley, Ga.

They have traveled to six continents (to name a few: Australia, Europe, Iceland, Russia, Norway and Cambodia) and saw the 7th (Antarctica). Some highlights of their trips included: Climbing 1/2 mile on the Great Wall of China and seeing the elephants in Africa get drunk on the fermented fruit laying on the ground. What an exciting life you have shared together.

We are so happy to have you here at Glenbrooke!

Happy New Year’sNew Year’s Eve is when all the fun and festivities are. We see out the old year and ring in the new. While it is often thought of as a time to drink and be merry, many people take it as an opportunity to eat and be merry.

New Year’s Day on the other hand, is a time to relax and enjoy the start of a bright and promising New Year ... a new beginning. It is a time to be with family. After all, you haven’t seen your mother-in-law since last year.

So, enjoy everything about New Year’s ... it only comes once a year.

To many Americans, the ball dropping at Times Square in New York City signals the start of the New Year in this country. The ball was first dropped in 1908.
