Welcome to the September Edition of the Comfort Connection!

September is Arthritis Awareness Month, so in recognition of that, we've gathered resources to help you (and your loved ones) learn more.

Monthly Spotlight: Arthritis Awareness Month

Recipe of the Month: Perfect Potato Soup

Hello, soup season! Potato soup tops the list for our most popular soups this month, and this particular recipe looks to be a crowd favorite. Some reviewers cut back the cayenne to suit their preference, but you can't go wrong with the classic combo of potatoes, bacon, celery, onions, and carrots.

Joke of the Month

A group of seniors were sitting at a table together at Starbucks, discussing their ailments.

"My arms have got so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.

"Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad; I can't even see my coffee."

"I couldn't even mark an 'X' at election time because my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third.

"What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you,” said one elderly lady.

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said one of the old folks, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another.

"I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said another.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old,” winced an old man, as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, count your blessings," said one woman cheerfully. "Thank God we can all still drive."
