Hobbies, Away, Ideas, Since, grandfather, grandmother, passed


Question by Sarah:

Any ideas for Hobbies for my grandmother to do since my grandfather passed away?





My grandfather had passed away less than a week ago & my grandmother is currently living at the same house but my uncle is taking care of her. She is able to do almost everything, because she is only 63. Does anyone have any ideas for hobbies or crafts for her to do? I am planning on buying her a few hobbies to do. I have came up with a journal, and a puzzle. But I can't think of anything else. IDEAS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks!

Firstly, sorry for your loss.

I know it's cliché but knitting. Then she can make things for the family. Beading? Origami? Books? Sewing? Scrapbooking? I'm sure she has plenty of photos. Depends what she is in to and how creative she is.

Have you thought about OUTSIDE activities? Such as Bingo or a dance class, bowling or something? Or maybe even a knitting or creative class.
I think it would do her wonders to get out and meet new people and start a new hobby, instead of being inside the house all the time with all those memories. It would give her more confidence and maybe a new lease on life.

I hope this helps and good luck. She's lucky to have you and your uncle :)

The New York Times bestseller, "a marvelous new collection of stories by . . . one of the most remarkable writers of our century" --Richard Bernstein, The New York Times

Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century. Now for the first time in English, all of Borges' dazzling fictions are gathered into a single volume, brilliantly translated by Andrew Hurley. From his 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect one-volume compendium for all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.

* Exquisitely packaged edition with French flaps and rough front, quality paper stock
* Named a Notable Book by the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and the American Library Association

"An unparalleled treasury of marvels." --Chicago Tribune

"An event worthy of celebration . . . Hurley deserves our enthusiastic praise for this monumental piece of work." --San Francisco ChronicleAlthough Jorge Luis Borges published his first book in 1923--doling out his own money for a limited edition of Fervor de Buenos Aires--he remained in Argentinian obscurity for almost three decades. In 1951, however, Ficciones appeared in French, followed soon after by an English translation. This collection, which included the cream of the author's short fictions, made it clear that Borges was a world-class (if highly unclassifiable) artist--a brilliant, lyrical miniaturist, who could pose the great questions of existence on the head of pin. And by 1961, when he shared the French Prix Formentor with Samuel Beckett, he seemed suddenly to tower over a half-dozen literary cultures, the very exemplar of modernism with a human face.

By the time of his death in 1986, Borges had been granted old master status by almost everybody (except, alas, the gentlemen of the Swedish Academy). Yet his work remained dispersed among a half-dozen different collections, some of them increasingly hard to find. Andrew Hurley has done readers a great service, then, by collecting all the stories in a single, meticulously translated volume. It's a pleasure to be reminded that Borges's style--poetic, dreamlike, and compounded of innumerable small surprises--was already in place by 1935, when he published A Universal History of Iniquity: "The earth we inhabit is an error, an incompetent parody. Mirrors and paternity are abominable because they multiply and affirm it." (Incidentally, the thrifty author later recycled the second of these aphorisms in his classic bit of bookish metaphysics, "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Teris.") The glories of his middle period, of course, have hardly aged a day. "The Garden of the Forking Paths" remains the best deconstruction of the detective story ever written, even in the post-Auster era, and "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" puts the so-called death of the author in pointed, hilarious perspective.

But Hurley's omnibus also brings home exactly how consistent Borges remained in his concerns. As late as 1975, in "Avelino Arredondo," he was still asking (and occasionally even answering) the same riddles about time and its human repository, memory: "For the man in prison, or the blind man, time flows downstream as though down a slight decline. As he reached the midpoint of his reclusion, Arredondo more than once achieved that virtually timeless time. In the first patio there was a wellhead, and at the bottom, a cistern where a toad lived; it never occurred to Arredondo that it was the toad's time, bordering on eternity, that he sought." Throughout, Hurley's translation is crisp and assured (although this reader will always have a soft spot for "Funes, the Memorious" rather than "Funes, His Memory.") And thanks to his efforts, Borgesians will find no better--and no more pleasurable--rebuttal of the author's description of himself as "a shy sort of man who could not bring himself to write short stories." --James Marcus

Fort Carson breaks ground on fitness center

Aug 20, 2010

By Devin L. Fisher (Fort Carson)

FORT CARSON, Colo.-Officials held a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 16 for a new .6 million state-of-the-art fitness center scheduled to open in January 2012.

Located at Specker Avenue and Victory Loop, the 92,496 square foot facility is a demonstration of Fort Carson leadership's commitment to providing a high quality of life for its Soldiers and their Families, said Maj. Gen. David G. Perkins, commanding general, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson.

"(This facility) is an act of dedication to our Soldiers and Families and commitment that we are all about making them the best Soldier they can be and the best Family member they can be," Perkins said.

He noted fitness is a big part of being a Soldier and that physical fitness plays into mental fitness, which ultimately plays into one's resiliency.

Perkins said plans originally called for the facility to be part of a new sports complex on Wilderness Road near Butts Army Airfield, but was relocated to its current site to ensure the Fort Carson community could take advantage of its central location within the cantonment area. The Wilderness Road sports complex will still feature a half-mile running track surrounding a soccer and playing field, and two softball fields as part of the overall project.

"When it comes to fitness, whether on the playing field or the battlefield, fitness is a huge part of our tradition as a fighting force," said Col. Robert F. McLaughlin, garrison commander.

He noted leadership's commitment to fitness is visible across the Mountain Post, as running trails and physical training pits are being constructed and fitness facilities expanded.

The new fitness center will be part of the Fort Carson Resiliency Campus, McLaughlin said. Forrest Physical Fitness Center will be transformed into the Forrest Resiliency Center, providing patient care and education, weight management, tobacco cessation, exercise instruction and community outreach services. The campus will also feature a child development center and behavioral health clinic. All three facilities are scheduled to open in March 2012.

Facility highlights
The new facility at Fort Carson is going to be one of the best fitness centers in the Colorado Springs area, according to Matt Ellis, resident engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District.
The fitness center will include:
- A "zero entry" pool, that gradually slopes from the deck into the water to allow for therapy swimming, and a children's water play area
- A lap pool with diving area
- Men's, women's and Family locker rooms
- Free weight and weight machine rooms
- Cardio exercise area
- Fitness class rooms
- Climbing and bouldering walls
- Gymnasium that can be configured with one main court or three intramural courts
- Hanging one-tenth of a mile indoor running track
- Two racquetball courts
- Refreshment area
- Administration spaces
- Laundry facilities

Ellis said the facility was designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environment Design Silver ratings by using "green" materials, making it energy efficient and taking advantage of more day lighting.
