Ken Vanlew, retired astronomy & physics teacher, joins us via Zoom to discuss the four largest moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo in 1609.

The moons orbit Jupiter in times that range from fewer than 2 days to more than 16 days and influence each other with tidal pulls.

Over Memorial Day weekend, we took time to remember our veterans and the fallen who sacrificed for our freedom. We celebrated that freedom by coming together. The day included a barbecue, with burgers, hot dogs and sides galore were on the menu. We played cornhole and ended the day with music and dancing.

The first Thursday of every month, the amazing Chef Chad demonstrates how to make his favorite recipes. This time it was garlic and butter basted Filet Mignon and yes, it was absolutely amazing. Fortunately, Chef Chad made enough to go around or we might have had a situation. Kidding aside, we are so fortunate for talented chefs like Chad at The Covington and the incredible meals we get to enjoy every day.

We recently attended the stunning Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa for a beautiful performance of the beloved musical The Sound of Music. A critically acclaimed North American tour of this Rogers & Hammerstein classic relived some of our favorite moments and melodies, including “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Edelweiss”. We left feeling that the hills were indeed alive with the Sound of Music.
