Page 2 Resident Spotlight

Dolores “Dodie” Stephens grew up in the village of Brewster NY. She was one of 4 children, she had 2 older sisters and a younger brother. Dodie enjoyed her country upbringing and has a deep and fond love for her village of Brewster. Dodie married her husband, Mallory, who she had grown up with, the week after he graduated Medical school, in 1954. They have been married for 63 years.

They have 2 children, a son and a daughter. Dodie and Mallory spent most of their younger years in New York, as that is where Mallory’s medical practice was. They retired to New Hampshire because their son had moved to Wells M.E. and their daughter to southern NH and they wanted to be centrally located to them. They settle in Tuftonboro and lived there for 20 years before moving to Sugar Hill.

Dodie has always been an avid learner and attended junior college in Virginia and went back to college after her children where grown. She loves to cook and be creative. She is very talented in knitting, needle work, painting and sculpting. She likes working with her hands and staying active. You can often find Mallory and Dodie walking or playing table tennis.

Probably some of the most

interesting things about Dodie

is that she is a published author of n 3 books. When asked if she had always wanted to be a writer she said no. Dodie said that she didn’t get excited about writing a book until she came to NH. She published her first book in 2004 entitled “Those Who Served; Those Who Waited” which is a collection of veteran’s stories and home front stories from World War I.

Her Second book was published in 2009, entitled “Tonetta Lake” which is a memoir. It is about her life and wonderful history of Brewster. Her third book was just published this year and is entitled “Water for the Troops” which is about her father Capt. William Ross Beal. Her father left his water drilling family business in 1942 and volunteered at the age of 45 to enlisted and serve his country. The book tells his story of how he and his team of 16 men went drilling wells in remote areas in foreign countries, to provide our solders with the vital water they needed.

Dodie was recognized and received the “Life Time Award”, for her work as a docent at the Wright Museum. She has been working there since 2002.

When asked what she likes best about living here at Sugar Hill she said “the friendly people and the wonderful dinning”.

Jennifer Weaver

September’s

book club

meeting is

Wednesday

September 5t at

2:00pm in the

Lilac Room. We

will be

discussing “A

Rather Haunted

Life” by Shirley

Jackson. We

will also be

handing out our

next book

“Secondhand

Time” by

Svetlana

Alexievich.

We all know this very friendly and helpful lady, that we see almost everyday, by name but let’s get to know Jennifer our Administrative Coordinator.

Jennifer moved to Ossipee almost 8 years ago from southeastern MA. She is married to husband Jason and has two sons, Trent 23 and Kyle 14.

Jennifer completed her bachelor’s degree in business administration with a healthcare concentration this month at Southern New Hampshire University.

Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family, doing puzzles by the fire on cold winter days, and tending to her flower and veggie gardens.

In her spare time she works on home renovations, and has a great eye for design.

Jennifer is an animal lover and currently has three dogs (Boris, Bella & their daughter Butters), two ducks, nine chickens, and three love birds.

Jennifer worked at Huggins Hospital for nearly two years when the opportunity arose to come to Sugar Hill. She was excited to take the position here as it was more in line with her schooling.

When asked what she likes best about working here, she said getting to know the residents and their great life stories and her co-workers as we all make a great team.

Jennifer’s dogs – Boris, Bella, and Butters

Jennifer with her sons – Trent and Kyle and her garden

Page 12 Non- Denominational Spiritual

Expressing Gratitude

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which

every man has plenty, not on your past

misfortunes, of which all men have some.

~ Charles Dickens

Those of us fortunate enough to have been gifted with

a long and full life recognize the importance of Mr.

Dickens’ words. Through our many experiences, we

have learned that there is always good to be had with

the bad and vice versa. The ability to focus on

blessings and be thankful for them helps us weather

any storms we may encounter along the way. Start off

this month, if you are not already doing so, with a daily

gratitude, and see how good you feel at the end of the

month. We bet you’ll want to continue.

Day 1

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for the new day and

all its possibilities. Each day is a new opportunity. We

may make resolutions on January 1, but every day

offers us a chance to decide how to spend our time.

How do you hope to use this day? Will you join a fun

activity, learn something new, and be kind to a

neighbor?

Day 2

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for encouragement

that I give and receive. Everyone encounters

challenges in life, and we all sometimes need

encouragement to get through difficult times. Knowing

that a friend, neighbor, or staff member cares about us

and believes we can overcome the challenges we face

can make us stronger. Do you feel encouraged by the

people around you? Can you offer encouragement to

anyone today?

Day 3

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for servicemen and

women. Thousands of men and women serve our

country in the armed forces. They are charged with

protecting us, but they also help many people at home

and abroad during emergencies. Have you served in

the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard?

What would you like to say to those who are serving

today?

Day 4

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for shelter.

There are some things we can easily take for

granted, and having a roof over our heads is

one of them. Shelter is so important to our

safety and well-being. We may think about it

only on stormy days or cold winter nights, but

having shelter is something we can be thankful

for every day.

Day 5

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for wisdom.

People often say wisdom comes with age, but

the truth is that wisdom comes through

experience and thoughtfulness over many

years. Do you feel you have become wiser over

the years? Is it hard to watch younger people

make the same mistakes you once made?

Day 6

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for family.

Families come in all shapes and sizes, some

living close together, and some spread around

the country or beyond. Some are made up of

relatives by blood or adoption, but many

families include people who have become dear

to us over time, and who become family to us.

Are there family members that you are

especially thankful for?

Day 7

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for neighbors

and friends. Connecting with other people can

make our lives more rich and meaningful,

whether we see them every day or keep in

touch through letters and phone calls.

Neighbors and friends can dispel loneliness

and remind us that we matter to others. Are

there people who make your life better just by

being there? How can we show others that they

matter to us?

Day 8

Today’s gratitude: I am grateful for kindness.

We may not read about people being kind in the

news headlines, but kindness is all around us.

Simple acts like a smile, a compliment, or a

helping hand make the world a better, kinder

place for all of us. What opportunities do you

have for kindness? Is there someone in your

community who is especially kind?

Inspirational and Humor Page 13

Grandparents are a Hoot

The Age Thing:

Let’s start with the perks of being the age of a

grandparent:

Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.

No one expects you to run into a burning building.

People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

Things you buy now won’t wear out.

You can eat dinner at 4 p.m.

You have a party and the neighbors don’t even realize it.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

You sing along with elevator music.

Your eyes won’t get much worse.

Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

Your joints are a more accurate meteorologist than anyone at the National Weather Service

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them anyway.

“Anyone who stops

learning is old,

whether at 20 or 80.

Anyone who keeps

learning stays young.

The greatest thing in

life is to keep your

mind young.”

~ Henry Ford

“If wrinkles must be

written upon our

brows, let them not

be written upon the

heart. The spirit

should not grow old.”

September Horoscopes and Birthdays In astrology, Virgo’s Virgins are those

born between September 1–22. Virgos

are one of the most careful signs of

the zodiac. They pay attention to detail,

analyze problems, and plan so as to

leave nothing to chance. Those born

from September 23–30 balance the

scales of Libra. Libras strive for

balance, avoid conflict, and desire

fairness for everyone. To achieve this,

they are sociable, strategic, charming,

and diplomatic both at work and home.

A Hummer of a Bird southern Alaska to northern Chile and

stop everywhere in between. Although

they weigh less than a nickel, these tiny

birds can fly up to 500 miles without

stopping. Why not help them on their

journey by putting out specially

designed hummingbird feeders?

These brightly colored feeders

provide the sugary, high-energy

nectar hummingbirds need to

maintain their metabolism.

September 7–9 brings the

Hummingbird Migration and Nature

Celebration as these tiny winged

marvels make their way back

to warmer southern climates.

Hummingbirds, sometimes called

hummerbirds, get their name from the

sound their wings make. These birds

flap their wings so fast—about 80

times per second—that they seem to

hum. Hummingbirds exist only in the

western hemisphere; range from
