Happy Sunday! Shout out to Jeanne for our beautiful new photo boards at 'Four Corners'!
We hope you enjoy these smiles from earlier this week as much as we enjoyed making them. From walking group to disc toss to cribbage - and, of course, shopping at our Main Street store, it was a wonderful week.

Today is the International Day of Charity.
On this day in honor and memory of Mother Teresa, we share two recent amazing acts of kindness...
- Jon, president of Rolling Thunder NH One, along with his girlfriend and son, were talking with Alan during the recent cookout RTNH1 sponsored. They heard how well Alan played the harmonica and learned he didn't have the G note harmonica. They set out to purchase one for him, and visited Alan with this special gift. Alan loved it!
- Meredith Lions Club member Marie visited with two large bags of sweatpants and pajama bottoms in tow - purchased from our Amazon wish list. Our veterans are loving them!
Special moments like this make our day as much as they make our veterans' day. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
❤️

Happy RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday! It was another great day here on the hill. The amazing Tilton Historical Society spent over 3 hours interviewing Don for yet another 'Honoring Untold Stories' of our veterans. Howie listened in the entire time, enjoying learning of his comrade's life. Courtney visited during coffee social, enjoying games of cribbage with George (that he was quite happy to have won!) while Elliott visited with veterans, chatting about cars and harmonicas. And once again, this roving photographer was happy not to be in the trivia competition with these smart veterans who were rocking it!

While enjoying the talents of Bob McCarthy and Billy Martin, we had a wonderful time strolling down memory lane with songs from yesteryear. Enjoying Bob's four-legged family member, Rhubarbe, was icing on the cake. 🐾

Today, September 2, Victory Over Japan (V-J) Day, we were proud to honor, pause, remember and thank World War II veterans for their service. Highlighted on stage was Gerard "Gerry" Jutras, our sole WWII veteran; he was proudly joined by two of his children.
We were honored to welcome Richard Tucker as our keynote speaker who delivered insightful remarks during our ceremony led by NHVH Commandant Kim MacKay. (See Richard's full information in the pics.) Our 11-year old friend Ellysia Zuchowski once again played Taps to help us honor the fallen. (Full program also in the pics.)
It was a day of reflection, respect, and remembrance—and we were proud to have shared it with all in attendance.
Also being our theme day Wednesday, we kicked off September as Fall Prevention Month, and sported red leaves. (And you thought we were celebrating Canada! 😉)

Happy September! As we said farewell to August yesterday, we helped begin a new season for two retirees: Jayne, who we're thankful let us share photos of her with our veterans and staff, and Buzzy, who shied away from the camera. We wish them both the very best as they begin these new chapters with happy - and well-deserved - retirements. We also had the honor and pleasure of celebrating Bill's birthday with balloons and so many wonderful cards. In between celebrations, our day was filled with art, gardening, tai chi, short stories, disc toss, and we even tested out our new wheelchair swing.
We hope you also had an amazing day!

We've had such action-packed days sharing good times with each other. Now it's time to get caught up sharing our fun with you! Enjoy these special moments captured of Ladies Tea with the local Red Hat Society members, a trip to Richardson's Ice Cream in Boscawen, and the wonderful performance by the talented Carter Mountain Brass Band.
Tea, treats, and tunes. Totally terrific!

Shout out to the American Legion Guyer-Carrigan Post 22 for their wonderful visit last week! Not only did they take the time to visit, but they also honored us with a wonderful donation to support our veterans for a second consecutive year. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and continued commitment to our Home. Our veterans enjoyed the bikes and the visits alike. The AL members gave our residents their time, attention, friendship, and gratitude for their military service. It was evident how much respect and appreciation they have. Walt Madore's (the Director's) son was killed in Iraq, and in his son’s memory, this group of riders has made a commitment to annually donate to veteran organizations. We are honored that they chose us again this year and are grateful to this wonderful group of riders for their generosity, continued support, and for making such a meaningful connection with our veterans.

Happy RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday!
Our veterans are very blessed with amazing volunteers. Today's shout out goes to:
- Kathy Yeo and the Tilton Historical Society for helping our veterans record their life stories! Not only did they meet with Gary to document his story, but Kathy also brought a wonderful donation to our Resident Benefit Fund. ❤
- Leslie Bartlett for her dedication leading chair yoga. What a peaceful way to start our day.☮
- Piper (our 4-legged friend) and his mom who brought smiles and tail wags on their visit. 🐾
We enjoyed a final performance from Jack Dunham before he begins his retirement. Best wishes to him as he begins to write this next chapter in his book of life. 🎶
Also caught on camera were Tony and Ken while enjoying the therapy gym equipment.
We hope you also had an amazing day!
