Aging with Grace

Join us every Wednesday at 4:30pm on 93.5FM True Oldies for CEO Denise Stevens and Steve Colella's segment on aging with grace.

Hello All,

Hello All!

Its harvest time and I couldn't be more thrilled! The fall season is certainly a traditional time of year in the Stevens' household. It's the time of year when our family comes together to harvest fruits and vegetables from our garden. We have harvested blueberries, onions, jalapenos and beats so far. We had a late start this year with all the rain and we certainly aren't the best gardeners, but it's worth the labor and it is definitely a family affair. We were blessed with a visit from our oldest daughter and granddaughter this summer and my granddaughter helped us in the garden. Now it's time to start canning. My yearly tradition is to make salsa with the tomatoes, onions and green peppers from the garden, so let the canning madness begin.

I hope you all enjoy this fall season of beautiful fall foliage, pumpkin carving and Halloween!

In closing, I just want to say that I am so proud and blessed to be able to work with such great caregivers here at Maine-ly Elder Care. The work you do every day enables the seniors in our communities to live independently at home and enriches their lives- Thank You!!

Happy fall!

~Denise
