Lake Forest Home Journal
The Open Door
Hello Everyone – Another week is upon us! Please review the following updates:
A memorial service for Helen Schmidt will occur here on behalf of her family. It
will be held on Monday, November 30th at 2pm here at Lake Forest. Join as
we honor her while offering support to Rudy and his daughters.
The celebration for Lake Forest is just around the corner so to speak. Please be
sure your response card has been turned in to the office. Cathryn, in Janet’s
absence, is collecting your information so we can plan accordingly. A seating
plan is being developed in order to preserve your typical seating preferences
as much as possible while accommodating the additional attendees. Please
understand this may result in an unfamiliar face or two at your dining table
for that evening.
Recently, several of you have had clothing ruined during use of the laundry
facilities. This occurred due to items being inadvertently and unintentionally
being added to the washer/dryer cycle. Prior to your routine laundry
activities; we respectfully ask everyone to empty pockets, shake your towels
and linens and be sure there is nothing other than washables being placed
into the appliances. By not doing so, you run the risk of causing your
neighbors to incur unnecessary expenses in terms of replacing clothing. In
addition, the proper functioning of the equipment may be compromised.
Our first dusting of snow is upon us. Please be careful out there!
Lastly, I want to extend my wishes for a safe and healthy Thanksgiving to each
of you. I will be out of town Wednesday afternoon through the weekend.
However, my fellow Lake Forest colleagues have my contact information in
the event of any emergencies and I am accessible.
Be Well!
- Kevin

BOOK REPORT:
Alistair MacLean, “The Way to Dusty Death"
This is a mystery/suspense story and I was attracted to it because of the Formula 1 racing
background. In a former life I was a huge fan of Formula 1 racing, and eagerly waited for my
monthly issue of "Road and Track" magazine to arrive so I could
read about the latest Formula 1 Grand Prix races, and see how my
hero, Stirling Moss, the British ace was doing. A big thrill was to
actually see him in action! I went with friends to Watkins Glen, the
track where the Grand Prix of the Unite States was run. Great fun!!
Well, back to the book. The story is about a champion Formula 1 driver who is experiencing
unusual accidents and decides to investigate. How he does this lead to some hair raising car chases - I
will not go into detail; I don't want to spoil the suspense! This is a good read, even if you are not
a racing fan. The book is in our library in the mystery section!

I decided to join a fitness club and take a class for senior.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, gyrated, jumped up and down and perspired for an hour....but by the time I got my
leotard on, the class was over. Come exercise with us. You will not need to wear a leotard!

Belgian for Breakfast?
(This article was submitted by a Resident. Author unknown)
If you travel at all an stay at any leading hotel chains, you’ve encountered the ubiquitous
make-your-own Belgian waffle. Pour the packaged mix in, flip the waffle maker and in a few
minutes you have a freshly made, hot waffle. So how do hotel breakfast-bar waffles stack up
nutritionally?
Numbers vary depending on the chain, but one waffle without syrup contains about 220 calories, 2 grams of saturated fat, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugars,
420 milligrams of sodium and 6 grams of protein. Add 1.5 ounces of syrup and you increase
those numbers by 160 calories and 44 grams of carbs (43 of them sugars). A “butter” packet
adds another 40 calories and a little saturated fat.
Better choices, if available, include yogurt, fresh fruit and bran or Cheerios 'type cereal. Muffins are a gamble: A healthy – sounding “banana nut” muffin, for example, might have double
the calories, triple the saturated fat and six times the sugar of the “harvest bran” muffin right
beside it.
Says Tufts’ Jeffrey Blumberg, “For breakfasts, I generally leave the hotel and find a place to
buy fruit or a yogurt.”
The Christmas Gift Fund box is next to the bird cage and will be available there for donations until Monday morning, December 7th. Please
make check out to: Lake Forest Resident Council. In the Memo section,
write “Gift Fund” or “Christmas Gift Fund.”
