Stan Of The Highlands: January 2012

All Info Pertaining to The Highlands

Jean and I moved to The Highlands in the Fall of 2007 from our home on Cousins Island in Yarmouth where we had lived for 30 wonderful years. I often think that I'd like to share a thought or an experience about our life here at The Highlands with other folks . . . and by this "blog" I am going to do so. One other thought. The Highlands is not in any way responsible for this website. This is wholly the personal responsibility of Stan Sylvester. Jean Sylvester has her own site at http://www.catcarewithlove.blogspot.com/ mostly devoted to her writings, her poetry and her experience as a professional cat care person in Yarmouth. SPECIAL NOTE TO VISITORS: In addition to scrolling down to view contents of my blog, when you reach the bottom you can click on "older posts" to review all the topics I've posted.

New Year's Eve 2011 at The Highlands

New Year's Eve at The Highlands is fun. This year, after wine and drinks and appetizers in the Activity Room, we had a candlelight dinner in the Dining Room. The waitstaff really dressed up for the occasion, looking very professional in their white shirts and black bow ties. Below is the smiling group.

Here is our Dining Staff on December 31, 2011
