Since joining our company in 2019 as a housekeeper, she has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence. Her work has been nothing short of fantastic, and it is a testament to her dedication and work ethic. Not only has she excelled in her role as a CNA for our community, but she has also shown remarkable versatility and adaptability. No matter the task at hand, she goes above and beyond to ensure it is completed with the utmost precision and attention to detail. When Daonnie is away from work you will find her crocheting, reading, gardening or watching her favorite TV shows Yellowstone or Hawaii Five-0.
Alongside her outstanding individual performance, she has proven to be an invaluable team player. Dae’s willingness to collaborate and support her colleagues has not gone unnoticed. Her contributions help foster a strong and cohesive team environment, which has a positive impact on the entire Legacy Ridge at Brookstone community.

For the love of Birds
Many have heard of the Audubon Society and know it as an environmental organization dedicated to studying and preserving birds and their natural habitats. The organization is named after John James Audubon, the French American painter of birds who dedicated his life to his unique art. His birthday, April 26, is now celebrated as Audubon Day.
Audubon showed an affinity for birds starting in childhood. He spent hours roaming the countryside, collecting birds’ nests and eggs, and drawing them once he returned home. Audubon’s father was a sailor and hoped his son would join the navy, so John James went to military school. However, he suffered from seasickness and so returned to the woods.
In 1803, the Napoleonic Wars broke out in France. Audubon’s father obtained a fake passport and sent John James to America to avoid the war. It was at his family’s farm in Pennsylvania that Audubon devoted himself full-time to the outdoors: hunting, fishing, and drawing birds. Audubon was obsessed with birds. In an effort to study their habits, he tied string around their legs to see if they returned year after year.
He learned the art of taxidermy and worked in natural museums. But his greatest contribution to ornithology was his brilliant book Birds of America. He dedicated his life to drawing every single bird in America. His style was new and different: a highly detailed drawing of each bird, more accurate than ever before. His drawings were life-sized, with some pages over.

Honesty and deception
You may find that April 4 goes against your moral code, for it’s Tell a Lie Day. Many ethical people live by the credo “Always tell the truth.” But do we? Researchers have discovered that most people tell occasional lies for several reasons. Sometimes we lie to gain other people’s respect or to cover up for making mistakes. The good news is that most people lie to spare someone else’s feelings from being hurt. If people choose to always be honest regardless of the consequences, that honesty could lead to injury or harm. Compassion may sometimes override honesty.
Lucky, then, that April 30 is Honesty Day. Honesty can certainly hurt sometimes, but it also takes courage and maturity to be honest in difficult situations. Furthermore, staying honest attracts other honest people to you. When you are surrounded by the truth, you can be your authentic self. The freedom that comes with honesty is worth celebrating!

Unraveling the Art of Tatting
While a handkerchief, table runner, doily, or collar made of intricate knotted lace appears nearly impossible to construct, the art of tatting is easy to learn. All you need to start tatting is thread, a shuttle (a small device that helps guide a silk thread through loops into knots), and your two hands. Give it a try on April 1, International Tatting Day.
This decorative art form may have grown from the netting and ropework handmade by sailors and fishermen of olden times. Tatting became fashionable in the 1800s and enjoyed a surge in popularity during the 1950s and 1960s. Technology has usurped the handiwork required to make tatted lace, which means that handmade tatting is more precious than ever.
