This occasion has been spearheaded by Mary Lou and the Center staff. We have had wonderful brunches and good attendance. Bonnie Hart came and sang for us, accompanied by Julia Redd on the piano. Thanks, ladies, for the good entertainment, and bye Mary Lou, well sure miss you. Our first bingo party had Tammy winning the blackout prize. A big bunch had fun at bingo party 2 with Cosmo winning the grand prize. Everyone who played won at least once. Many thanks to Ann Beeson, Ruth Hyde and Cindy Smith for continued donations to our bingo prizes. Nurse Linda came again on the 17th to squeeze and poke us for blood pressure and sugar cheeks. We do appreciate her taking the time to cheek us out. Our trip to Cortez was very enjoyable in the bright, warm fall weather. We got to acquaint ourselves with Mike Dawson and his mother Rosemary, who have built a house on the South Highway. They are a lot of fun. Were happy to have them in our group. Seven seniors went on the bus to Green River Melon Days and had a lovely day and a good time. Its a good thing Andy Montano went with the group. He was kind enough to lug everyones supersized watermelons to the van.

He presented his ideas and qualifications for this office. We thank him for sharing. Our Fourth Friday Social on the 24th, the last one for the year, was well attended and greatly enjoyed. Besides having great end of the garden dishes, we had the best to be had in entertainment. Doyle Rowley favored us with some wartime (World War II - our prime time) vocal selections. Shirley Steffen sang with recordings of her brother, a country western star, now deceased. Last but not least, J.J. Steffen played his trusty harmonica and we all joined in with singing when we knew the selection. We left hoping to reconvene next April. We want to comment on how nice the Black Oil Co. parking lot is, now that it has been blacktopped! Those truckers sure line up neatly where parking stall lines are painted. Looks great and certainly cuts down on the dust. It has improved our neighborhood near the Center. |
