Hello, everybody! Hope this finds all of you well and I hope you all had a great weekend. Saturday John and I took a little drive out through the countryside. Everything is sure getting brown. I wonder if we’ll get any rain anytime soon.
Gene Matli brought in some best choice labels last week and Margie Smith brought in cans. Thank you Gene and Margie.
Yvonne Christensen made a donation to the center as well as Basil and Danna Taylor when they paid their dues. Thank you, Yvonne, Basil and Danna. We’re glad you renewed your memberships.
We had 10 people in last Friday to get their blood pressure and sugar checked. We really appreciate the ladies that come out to do this for us. The next opportunity will be Oct. 21.
Last Thursday, after biscuits and gravy, we had four ladies who stayed with us to quilt. Those were Judy Curtin, Gene Matli, Naida Kenr and Estalene Teply. They all do such good work. The quilt is really looking pretty.
We were short a person to deliver meals last week so Pat Brewer delivered two days. Thank you Pat! The others that delivered for us were Sharon Barnes, Janice Hood and Curt and Brenda Stein. We all appreciate all these volunteers to give up some of their time to do this for us.
Saturday, Sept. 24, we will be meeting again for games, usic and food. Come and join us around 6 p.m. Bring a covered dish or some kind of snack to share. We’ll have a good time.
I’m going to try the exercise class tomorrow. I’ve really gotten weak after my pacemaker surgery and basically doing nothing for a couple of months. I wear out quickly and get short of breath. I’m hoping the exercise will help. It’s gonna be a real effort on my part since I’m not used to getting up early enough to go. I’m having to change my routine.
Here’s our menu for the next few days. Call early for a delivery or before noon to get a meal to go.
Thursday 9-22 Goulash Friday Ham and sweet potatoes Monday Vegetable soup and chili Tuesday Spaghetti and meatballs Wednesday Kiwanis at noon; we eat at 11 a.m. Thursday 9-29 Liver and onions Friday Roast beef If you are a paid up member and your birthday was in September, you will get a free meal on Friday, Sept. 30, if you come in. They will play bingo after the meal. It’s 25 cents per card. The money goes to the winners.
And remember our biscuits and gravy at 8 a.m. on Thursdays. Come in and join us or call for one to go. The cost is by donation.
Sounds like it’s going to be pretty warm again for a while. Maybe a slight cooloff sometime next week. It’s State Fair time and still no rain. Unbelievable!
Well, that’s my news for this week. I sure hope you are all staying well and safe. Take care! ‘Till next week…
