FROM THE EDITOR “Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?” Those words, penned by Alan Jackson, stop me every time I hear them. It’s hard to believe this year marks the 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001. I’m confident most of us remember exactly where we were that morning. I certainly do. I was in Austin, playing with my young son and packing my bags to head to work in Washington, D.C. I’ll never forget the shock and disbelief I felt as I watched the events unfold on television.

BIG NEWS!

Watch for details about our NEW SHOWROOM and NEW DESIGN options coming this Fall!

CLOSETS

STOP BY OUR SHOWROOM TO SEE OUR NEW DISPLAYS AND LEARN ABOUT OUR CURRENT SPECIALS!

As I reflect on that tragic day, I remember how connected we seemed to be in its aftermath. For a time, our differences seemed to fade. Today, our country often feels deeply divided. This month, I hope you take time to remember those who were lost on 9/11, the brave first responders, and all those who have lost their lives in the years since.

BATHROOMS

As you go about your days this month, treat those around you with grace, kindness and love. A better world begins with each of us—and how generously we care for those in our community.

Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that. Jon Kabat-Zinn

When you quiet your mind, you can enter a world of clarity, peace and understanding. Alice Coltrane

Fearless means trusting your instincts and clarity of thought. Once you have made up your mind, don’t be scared of what if. Ravi Shastri

Beautiful things comfort; they bring a real clarity and ease. We have to continue to make our environments beautiful it’s sort of like a prayer. If you surround yourself with beautiful things, you have a better life - one with more oxygen. Anjelica Huston

That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So, to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something. Meredith Monk

Clarity of vision is the key to achieving your objectives. Tom Steyer

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people. Jim Rohn

STRANGE BUT TRUE The fear of vegetables is called “lachanophobia.”

Early in her career, model Gisele Bundchen was told she’d never achieve success without cosmetic surgery to decrease her nose size. She refused and later had the last laugh by becoming one of the most highly paid models in history.

Many quilts made by military soldiers were known as “convalescent quilts,” since they made them while recuperating from wounds received in the line of duty. The word LEGO comes from the first two letters of the Danish words “leg” and “godt,” or “play well.” Egyptian butchers wore high heels to keep their feet free of blood and debris on the floor.

Need to transport a bow while you are transporting a present? Place it inside a zip-top sandwich bag, close partway, fill with air and seal. The bow will make it to your destination uncrushed, and you can stick it on at the last minute. The combination of one part warm water and three parts baking soda makes a great paste for removing rust spots. Simply use an old toothbrush in a circular motion to smear in the paste and wipe away rust. Having trouble starting that backyard charcoal grill? Maybe you just need to head for the snack table. Potato chips and nacho tortilla chips (like Doritos) will burn bright and hot enough to cook your dinner, and certainly well enough to give your charcoal a great start. Recycling one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

CROSSWORD SOLUTION FROM PAGE 24

SEPTEMBER 2026 • THE GRAND SEASON

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
