Final week of International Food & Wine Month!

This Women’s History Month, we honor Lorraine, a woman whose story reminds us that empowerment isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s found in the way you live, love, and grow.

Lorraine gently turns the pages of her photo album, each image holding a story of a life built on love, resilience, and quiet strength.

She was a young girl when the world changed during WWII, growing up with a deep sense of independence, curiosity, and compassion. These values were shaped by her parents and carried through every chapter of life.

Years later, she built a beautiful life of her own: a 49-year marriage, 10 children, 23 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. A legacy not just of family, but of presence, patience, and purpose.

“Every day was an adventure,” she says with a smile.

And she means it, from raising her children to later traveling the world, embracing each day with curiosity.

To Lorraine, strength was never about standing still. “Strength is being flexible and adaptable… willing to change with the times.”

Our culinary passport brings us to El Salvador this week.

Food & Wine Around the World Month continues at Modena Reserve Kensington, bringing new international flavors to the table each week.

This week, Chef Douglas, who is from El Salvador, shared a taste of his home country with residents. The menu featured traditional corn tortilla pupusas filled with pork and cheese, served with Salvadoran-style pickled coleslaw (curtido) and tomato salsa.

Food is a wonderful way to experience different cultures, and it’s always special when our culinary team can share dishes that are meaningful to them.

Have you ever tried pupusas before?

This Women’s History Month, we proudly celebrate Annmarie, a Modena Reserve Kensington resident whose lifetime of service inspires us all.

Born in 1930, Annmarie has dedicated decades to helping others. She volunteered with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, earning a rare Lifetime Service Award, served abroad with the Peace Corps at age 70, and read children’s letters in the First Lady’s office at the White House.

Some things never go out of style- music, movement, and joy.
