Friday, the 12th of February, 2010 is our Valentine’s Luncheon sponsored by Texas Home Health and the Tenant Association of JCHA. We are having chopped beef sandwiches with all the trimmings and desserts. See you there tenants. There will be no Third Friday Luncheon, so make sure you make it this Friday and it is all FREE. And that brings us to Valentine’s Day on Sunday.

What does Valentine’s Day mean to you? Well, I have some responses and found all of them rather wonderful, from cards, roses, chocolate and all kinds of candy, jewelry, stuffed animals, balloons, romantic dinner and or movies, love coupons, etc. I have one person that just wants a nice quiet evening at home. It is truly amazing the ideas people come up with. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.

The office will be closed Monday, February 15th, 2010 in observance of President’s Day.
