Senior Citizens April Showers Bring May Flowers…and Pollen by Louise Wallace It was so nice to walk into the Center on Wednesday and find that our carpets had been cleaned. We thank the county people for taking such good care of us. Not having to worrying about the cleaning has been a real help. We also want to thank Ashley Potter and her escorts for taking care of setting the tables each day that we meet. We honored mothers on Wednesday with a full turkey dinner. That was a treat to me because it was the first time since Thanksgiving that I had turkey. We didn’t have band practice because we had a nice program instead. Jill Richins sang a lovely song with Arvilla Fawcett accompanying her. Then Ben Jones gave us a history lesson on how come and when Mother’s Day was made a holiday. You know how it originated and all about it plus dates. Then in his very unique style, he told some humorous stories. “Buying Ma A Bra’s was the best one. We thank both him and Jill for coming. And we thank LuGene Jones and Cindy McGehee for the lovely orchid corsages and jewelry each lady received. We were happy to welcome Mattie and Philip Wood back from their home in Waxahachie, TX. They will be going back again this fall, of course, but during the summer Philip is employed as handyman by Holiday Hills. Of course, we generally manage to have him fix a few things around the Center, too. We had a nice shopping trip Thursday with Rose Wallace doing the driving and in general being helpful with the purchases for all ten of us. It was good to have almost a full bus and we enjoyed a pretty goad lunch at Arby’s. Just in case you didn’t know it, they give us Seniors a discount. We didn’t have band practice this week but the quilting ladies finished another baby quilt. Some lucky baby will get the cutest gift when it has been bound and given to the Humanitarian people. We will be having a pot-luck dinner and celebrate with George Perkins on Thursday which is his 83rd birthday. We’ll tell you all about it next week. Friday will be the karaoke program. Kathy Wilde will do blood tests for us on Wednesday, the 21st. Memorial Day is the 26th, and Board Meeting is on the 30th. That should take care of May except for the North Summit High School graduation exercises on Thursday, May 22. We congratulate each one of them and thank their teachers too. Just thinking about graduation brings back good memories from a long time ago. Since so many of my classmates have been called back to their heavenly homes, I doubt we will be having any more class reunions… but if they do and they ask for a your picture to display, do what I am going to do. First of all, use a black and white picture only. Then with a black pen get rid of the unsightly saggy double chin and remove a few ounces of saggy skin and smooth out the wrinkles around the face. Now with your pen fill in more hair to make it look nice and thick. If need be remove a bit more sag from the jaws. The eyes are the most important thing at our age. Somehow or other, no matter what we do, they become a bit dull and beady. Draw in thick eyelashes, then actuate the eyes. Touch up that thin upper lip while you’re at it. When you have had your teeth pulled out for as many years as I have had mine, your lips get thin and tight. Touch them up to get that sexy heart shape like you have always wanted to have. Now send the picture and hope that none of them ever come for a visit. See you next week. Prevention can help nip allergies in the bud… Are you sneezing, sniffling and itchy? Have you had a nagging cough - or are you wheezing or short of breath? Allergies and asthma often trigger these symptoms in the spring when pollen counts are high. The Utah Department of Health (UDOH) encourages those with seasonal allergies and asthma to take extra precautions this spring. “During the spring, those with seasonal allergies and asthma can suffer with increased symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, and itching in the nose, roof of the mouth, throat, eyes, and even ears—depending on what a person is allergic too,” said Jenny Johnson, Health Program Specialist with the UDOH Asthma Program. Many people with asthma also have allergies that can make their asthma worse. You can help Go Classifieds!

In Utah, seasonal allergies are often triggered by mold and pollen from trees like maple, oak, cottonwood, locust, ash, cedar, sycamore and willow. Pollen levels are typically lower on rainy, cloudy and windless days. If you think you might have asthma, come find out at a free Asthma Screening on Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Fashion Place Mall Center Court in Murray.

Keep car windows closed when driving; reducing activity between 5 am and 10 am when pollen counts are higher. • Staying indoors on windy days and when the pollen count or humidity is high. • Letting someone else mow the lawn, and staying away from freshly cut lawns. Mowing stirs up pollen and mold. • Drying sheets and clothing in the dryer, not on a clothesline, so pollen and mold don’t collect on them.
