Here comes Halloween and November. November is the 11th month of the year and has 30 days, usually marking the beginning of the winter holiday season. Winter technically doesn’t start until late December. November 2 marks the end of Daylight Savings Time this year, so we fall back our clocks one hour and get an extra hour of sleep. November 4 is Will Rogers Day; November 11 is Veterans Day, the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War 1; and November 27 is Thanksgiving Day. November flowers are chrysanthemums and peonies; the birthstones are topaz and citrine. It is also seen as a time to start finalizing any plans or projects that you had for the year.
A plan you should have is to come join us at the Watonga Senior Citizens Center for lunch. We eat daily, except Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesdays we eat from 11 a.m. to noon. Call any morning before 10 for home delivery. Our menu is as follows: Thursday, Oct. 30 Chicken Fried Steak Friday 31 Roast Beef (Birthday Dinner) Monday Vegetable Soup or Chili Tuesday Chicken Strips Wednesday Chicken Fried Steak (Kiwanis Meets) Thursday, Nov. 6 Sausage and Sauerkraut Friday Indian Tacos Our meals were delivered last week by Hailey Boden, Sharon Barnes, Brenda Stein, Janice Hood and Vernon Brickman. Many thanks to them!
Louise Cooper was our lone quilter last week. She and others are almost finished with the lovely quilt they are hand-quilting.
There were almost 20 people who enjoyed our Fun and Games on October 25. They had live music and card games, dominoes, pool and snacks. The next Fun and Games Night will be from 6- 9 p.m. Nov. 8. Bring a snack to share and come join us!
Earlier that day, the Watonga Masonic Lodge will host its monthly breakfast from 7- 10 a.m. It is a wonderful way to start your day.
Come visit us daily for lunch or exercise with us Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at 9 a.m. We will welcome you!
