Red, White, and Remodeled.
FROM THE EDITOR Happy 250th, America! By the time you receive this issue, the Fourth of July celebrations will have come and gone, but a milestone as significant as America’s 250th birthday deserves to be celebrated all year long. I have always considered it a true honor and privilege to be an American. Watching videos on social media of visitors experiencing our country during recent events reminded me just how fortunate we are to call this nation home. Sometimes it takes seeing America through someone else’s eyes to appreciate all that we have.

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Michael Douglas and Oliver Stone joined forces again for the upcoming drama film “White Lies.” Douglas, 81, and Ellen Barkin, 72, will be supporting Josh Hartnett, 47, whose character is the film’s main focal point. Hugh Jackman hits screens as the elderly robber/ baron of Sherwood Forest in “The Death of Robin Hood” (co-starring Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsgard), in which the former “Wolverine,” 57, takes on Robin Hood’s midlife crisis. Jackman then immediately jumped into playing Long John Silver in Ridley Scott’s upcoming reimagining of “Treasure Island.” The book “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson has sold more than tens of millions of copies since it was first published in 1883. In 1934, MetroGoldwyn-Mayer (MGM) made a film version with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. In 1950, Disney produced an exciting version with Robert Newton and Bobby Driscoll, and in 1972, Orson Welles played Long John Silver. In 1990, a TV adaption starred Charlton Heston, Christian Bale and Oliver Reed.

Iceland’s parliament, the Icelandic Althingi, first formed in 930 A.D., is the oldest in the world. The tradition of carrying the bride across the threshold started in medieval Europe when many people believed that a bride was especially vulnerable to evil spirits through the soles of her feet. To guard her from such attacks, the chivalric groom would carry her into their new home.

FREEDOM
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err and even to sin. —Mahatma Gandhi May freedom be seen, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to please to do what is right. —Peter Marshall It also is an occasion for remembering that in the truest sense freedom cannot be bestowed, it must be achieved; and that there must be constant vigilance if it is to be maintained. —Franklin D. Roosevelt Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and of human dignity. —Herbert Hoover All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. —Winston Churchill Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. —Martin Luther King, Jr. Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth. —George Washington F
Freedom lies in being bold. —Robert Frost
If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there’s a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours. —Noam Chomsky

The secret to happiness is freedom… And the secret to freedom is courage. —Thucydides THE GRAND SEASON • JULY 2026

DID YOU KNOW? The United States Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still in use.
The first permanent English settlement was established at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. The original United States flag had 13 stars and 13 stripes representing the first colonies. The current 50-star American flag was designed by a 17-yearold high school student, Robert Heft, in 1958.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director

When did you last feel truly seen by me? What’s something you’ve been carrying alone? What have you stopped telling me, and why? Where in your life are you the loneliest right now? What’s the hardest thing you didn’t say out loud this year? What are you grieving that I haven’t noticed? What part of yourself have you put on hold? When was the last time you felt fully like yourself? What would you tell me if you knew I wouldn’t react?
