Year of the Water Dragon

As the new year comes, we are pleased to have a record occupancy of 60 percent. Hopefully, we are looking to break the 70 percent mark with the coming of the Chinese New Year.  In 2012 the Yang Water Dragon Year starts January 23, 2012 and ends February 9, 2013. The energetic high point of the year is the dragon moon, which is from May 20 to June 18 (new moon is May 20, full moon is June 4 and dragon moon is over June 18. June 19 begins the snake moon, which will set up the energy for the following year, 2013, year of the yin water snake.)

Emy de Long who is the mainstay of Anselma House has left us to join her Auntie who came back from the United States. For a while, her aunt was planning to bring Emy to the states.  Perhaps the economic situation in the US  affected that decision.  We will miss that girl.

And Ivy is back.  We have opened Room 6 late last year and Ivy is staying there.  Maida was planning some Christmas get together but that didn't push thru.
