February 2017 Sapphire Scene RESIDENTS OF THE MONTH

KATIE and MICK McCAWLEY

Ka�e was born at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. She remembers having poodles for pets and playing with marbles. Her Grandpa Milt, a school teacher, was the biggest influence on her early life. She was afraid of strangers as a child, although now she is more afraid of heights! She raised her younger siblings from the �me she was eight years old, frequently packing a lunch and going to the school to play. She recalls an amusing episode: “I was a perfec�onist about cleaning. One Christmas, while my youngest sister was s�ll sleeping, I took all her presents and put them away (clothes in drawers, etc.), so when she got up, there were no gi5s for her!” Ka�e’s favorite subject in school was English. She was a “good kid with lots of friends.” Even so, she some�mes struggled with depression. Her teen idol was Davey Jones of the Monkees. “He was so cute,” she says. Her favorite historical era is the late 1800’s, and her favorite historical figure is Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nigh�ngale. She feels that the most significant poli�cal even of her life�me was the shoo�ng of J.F.K. Ka�e’s first job was waitressing, and she had a funny moment when she “stopped suddenly and a whole tray of water glasses went all over the guest.” She met Mick (a customer) while she was working at the Golden Spike Restaurant in Salt Lake City. Ka�e owned Country Dreams An�ques for 28 years. Her happiest memory is of her wedding day. She and Mick have been married for 24 years! Ka�e enjoys 1960’s music, loves Christmas and camping in the mountains. She has an amazing knowledge of an�ques and their worth and history, and finds inspira�on in magazines on decora�ng. Ka�e and Mick have seven children between them (including our very own office manager, Mary Hoke), and they are both very loving parents and grandparents. Mick was born in Houston, Texas, and his earliest memory is of walking down a dirt road, holding the hand of his mother, who was the biggest influence on his life. Some of Mick’s favorite memories are of having an Easter chick and playing “hide and go seek.” During the summer�me he picked coEon and dug for fossils and arrowheads. In fact, he lists his dream job as being an archaeologist. He used to be afraid of the dark, but his greatest fear as an adult is drowning. His teen idol was Brenda Lee. “I was in love,” he remembers. His favorite �me in history is the early 1800’s, and his favorite person from history is Teddy Roosevelt. He was “a very wise man.” “Mickey Mouse” was a nickname he received as a child. Mick enjoyed bread-and-buEer sandwiches, and describes himself as “overweight” in childhood. His best friend was his cousin, Keith. Mick remembers that his favorite job was sign-pain�ng. He was interested and hardworking as a student, says that art was his favorite subject, and to this day he loves to draw. Mick loves rock music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. He enjoys the 4

th of

July, and his favorite place to visit is Texas. A favorite memory of Mick’s: “When my wife took a shortcut to Interstate 90 and the shortcut ended in a farmer’s field about two hours later.” Please stop by The Manor and get acquainted with this wonderful couple!

DESIRE

I have a man that lives

just over the hill. Spending �me with him really gives me a thrill.

We have morning coffee

out on the back deck. My lips dream of coffee

and a so5 peck.

We lace our shoes and go for a morning run.

It’s as though I’m his shadow cast by the sun.

He goes to work

but comes back to me at lunch. We eat quickly

because he’s on a �me crunch.

I watch him drive away, then I take a nap.

I recharge my baEeries and read my map.

I like knowing the terrain

around our place. I need some hiding spots-

you know-just in case.

He’s home for dinner but I don’t get to cook. I gaze across his plate with a longing look.

Nights are hard for me, I lay there wide awake,

and imagine he breathes like a dry leaf quake.

But today is Saturday and that’s just fine! I get to spend it all with my Valen�ne!

The weather will be warm

so we’ll be outside. Lounging in the hammock

and on a bike ride.

And wherever he goes I’ll be right there, too.

If only he knew me and my love so true.

But with my man

I’ll cherish being alone. Yes, it’s just me, him…

and my surveillance drone!

Dominic “Flominic” Farrenkopf

A GRATEFUL FAREWELL TO SHERILL WILLIAMS

Sapphire Lutheran Homes would like to extend a great big "Thank you and best wishes!" to Sherill Williams. Sherill served the residents of Sapphire for a combined total of

23+ years! In her %me here, Sherill held these formal posi%ons:

Prep Cook, Kitchen Manager, Office Manager, Service Coordinator, Administrator and AL Health Director. Sherill

filled the holes with roles as Housekeeper, Wait Staff, Dishwasher, Ac%vity Leader, Volunteer, and probably

fixed something that was leaking, creaking of just needed tweaking!

Sherill's presence will be greatly missed but she will

surely con%nue living Sapphire's

mission in her future life endeavors since the mission has been a part of her for so

long.
