    Happy 250th! What is The United States? 


    Professor Anthony Szczurek from Saddleback College joins us to lead a discussion about our country. This year’s semi-quincentennial marks the world’s longest experiment in large-scale democratic government, as well as a lot of political tension and disagreement about what the United States of America represents today. How similar and different are we to the U.S. of 1776? How might Americans, and the rest of the world, imagine the U.S. in the remainder of the 21st century? Sure to be a thought-provoking afternoon.

    In Love, One and One are One

    Love that lasts is something truly special. Leslie and Roger were married in 1964, and this year they celebrate 62 beautiful years together.

    When asked about the secret to lasting love, they shared something simple and meaningful: truly like your partner. For them, friendship has always been the foundation of their marriage. Over time, they’ve discovered that their connection has only deepened.

    Their story is a reminder that love grows when you continue choosing one another.

This past month, resident Priscilla C. presented some of her stunning quilts and pillows that she has made over the years. From Christmas-themed works to charming, heritage-inspired designs, each work reflected her commitment to creating items that will endure. After presenting her works at the showcase, they were put on display, to be enjoyed by all throughout the month.

    Canyon Exploration

    Aliso Viejo is a natural paradise with so many places to explore and enjoy. Our Hiking Club recently visited Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park for an afternoon. Designated as a wildlife sanctuary, this park has about 4,500 acres of wilderness and natural open land, and is home to mature oaks, sycamores, and elderberry trees, two year-round streams and more than 30 miles of official trails. With beautiful weather most of the year, getting out in nature is easy at The Covington.

    Safari Adventure

    Residents had a wonderful time at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. This expansive, non-profit wildlife sanctuary is home to more than 3,000 animals representing more than 300 species. Its renowned botanical collection represents 3,500 species and 1.75 million specimens. Over half of the Park’s 1,800 acres (730 hectares) have been set aside as protected native species habitat. Seeing elephants, gorillas, and giraffes was a highlight for many of the residents.

    Outings

    Dana Point Whale Watching

    Dana Point is a Whale Heritage Area. Year-round it offers the opportunity to see abundant marine life. Residents boarded a boat for an excursion to see giant blue whales, playful humpbacks, and breathtaking pods of dolphins. It was a memorable afternoon for residents and a reminder of the wealth of biodiversity beneath the surface of our oceans.
