While you may enjoy a morning cup of coffee every day, there is only one Coffee Day, and it’s September 29. No other drink is as revered as coffee. After oil, coffee is the second-most sought after global commodity, with an estimated trade value of $100 billion and employing a workforce of 25 million people. That’s one powerful cup of morning joe.
The powerful jolt of caffeine that comes with a cup of coffee may be what makes it so special and sought after, but before coffee was served as a drink, it was eaten. Tribes in Africa supposedly mixed coffee berries with fat into edible energy balls. So, who made this discovery? Legend states that around 850 AD, an Ethiopian goatherder named Kaldi observed his goats acting strangely after eating the fruit of a certain bush. Kaldi knew his goats to be ill-tempered, but here they were frolicking and dancing like never before. Kaldi decided to try the berries, and he, too, felt a rush of energy. At that moment, edible coffee was discovered.
So who decided to brew it into a drink? Another legend tells of how a wandering monk observed Kaldi and his dancing goats. This monk, who had terrible trouble trying to stay awake during his prayers, tried the berries as a method to stay alert. Needless to say, that monk did not doze off. It was this resourceful monk who first dried the berries and boiled them into a beverage. Not only did it keep him awake and alert, but it tasted good, too. Soon, his fellow monks were drinking coffee and praying right alongside him.
While these legends may be fun to relate, coffee is still a serious business in Ethiopia and throughout the Middle East. Since drinking alcohol is forbidden amongst Muslims, coffee has always been the next best thing. In fact, the word kahve, from which we get our word coffee, means “wine of Arabia.” Today, coffee’s reach extends well beyond the Middle East, and if you’re lucky, it even reaches as far as your own kitchen counter.
The following movies are scheduled once per week in each building. Please refer to
the weekly activity calendar for dates and times of scheduled movies.
The Circle (2017) When Mae is hired to work for the world's largest and
most powerful tech & social media company, she sees it
as an opportunity of a lifetime. As she rises through the
ranks, she is encouraged by the company's founder,
Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks), to engage in a
groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries
of privacy, ethics and ultimately her personal freedom.
Her participation in the experiment, and every decision
she makes begin to affect the lives and future of her
friends, family and that of humanity.
Going in Style (2017) Oscar winners Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and
Alan Arkin team up as lifelong buddies Willie, Joe and
Al, who decide to buck retirement and step off the
straight-and-narrow for the first time in their lives when
their pension fund becomes a corporate casualty, in
director Zach Braff's comedy "Going in Style."
Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their
loved ones, the three risk it all by embarking on a dar-
ing bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with
their money.
Moana (2017) Moana is about an adventurous teenager who sails
out on a daring mission to save her people. During
her journey, Moana meets the mighty demigod
Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a
master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the
open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encounter-
ing enormous monsters and impossible odds, and
along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of
her ancestors and discovers the one thing she's al-
ways sought: her own identity.
Pursuit of Happyness (2006) Chris Gardner is a bright and talented, but marginal-
ly employed salesman. Struggling to make ends
meet, Gardner finds himself and his five-year-old
son evicted from their San Francisco apartment with
nowhere to go. When Gardner lands an internship
at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, he and his son
endure many hardships, including living in shelters,
in pursuit of his dream of a better life for the two of
them.

Serenity Assisted Living Culinary Club
For those who may miss cooking, we are starting a “club” at Serenity
called the Grub Club! See some of the logistics below and if you are
interested, please be sure to let Carol know.
LAST MONTH
Our theme for August was the Farmers Market! For a starter, we had a
Grape & Goat Cheese Crostini. Our
main entrée was Grilled Lemon
Chicken, a Summer Corn Salad abd
Zucchini Noodles. We whipped up a
Watermelon Cooler for a tasty bever-
age and finished with a Blueberry
Lemon Mousse for dessert. We
loved being able to use so many
fresh things from the garden this
month!
The lovely and talented, Traci Anderson, has once
again offered to take photos of our ladies and gentle-
men this Fall. We would LOVE to get photos of each
person living at Serenity.
Buying the photos will be optional, but would work
great for a holiday card or gifts to families and
friends.
Photos will be done all day on Wednesday, September
20th. Information on how to order photos soon to
come. In the mean time, be sure to check out Traci’s
work at: www.traciadamsonphotography.com or even
her Facebook page!
