SUMMER REST!

Hurray! Summer is upon us. It is a time to look forward to, because there is an opportunity to break away from the routine of work. In order to have a good summer, you don’t have to travel or do anything expensive (good news for Cavanmen!). You just need to stay active and occupied, and have an open mind. Here’s some tips I read of recently: n Find comfortable shoes and clothing for the summer, depending on what you will be doing. Look for things that you like and feel comfortable in. n Turn off the TV. Unplug the DVD player. Get out of the house and get some fresh air! n Find a local park. Walks in a park can be the be one of the best things all summer. Oldest Family Furriers in the World n Be fit. Find a sport that you like. n Stay in touch with friends and family. Ask your friends and family what they are doing so you can get more invite you to their showrooms at ideas of what to do. n If you get bored one day, call a friend! n Have a Barbeque! 108 GRAFTON STREET n Read if you feel like you’re getting bored. Subscribe to a magazine if you don’t like books. DUBLIN 2 n Find someone who needs help with work. n Check out local museums. Museums in Dublin can be great way to pass the time as well as increase your knowledge. Telephone: 01 677 7867 n And after all that, if you are still bored!! - Call me, you can wash my car, clean my house, etc...

A thank you from the Dixon family I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our family and friends for their tremendous support both while Jean was in hospital and following her passing. The cards, calls and visitors have been a testament to us for how well she was liked.

Although we are still trying to come to terms with our huge loss everyone’s thoughtfulness & kindness is helping us along the way. Yours sincerely,

Willie, Elaine & Heather Dixon
