The air conditioner went out this week at the museum. On the days when the wind blew, we could open the front and back door and get a breeze. We had a visitor from the state of Washington.

Dear Editor:

Among various excellent social clubs in Watonga is the Watonga Senior Citizens Club which meets at the Senior Center on South Noble. Several activities of the club involve health of seniors. First, the club has an active 45-minute exercise program on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 9:00 AM.

By Louise Griffin President T.B. Ferguson Home A couple from Weatherford came for a visit this week. They said they really enjoyed seeing the home. There’s a notebook at the museum with people that Frank Beneda interviewed and I thought it was typed up by a Boy Scout.

Electronics Blow My Mind

By Debi Harris If you don't see my column in next week's paper, you'll know the reason why. My mind (what little I have left) (I heard that.) will have been blown away by our new Internet provider's router not playing nice with our old electronics.

A Letter from the Geary Public Library

There weren’t any visitors this week at the museum. I guess everyone was taking advantage of the cooler weather to get caught up on other stuff. We have a picture of the Watonga band, I assume it’s the school band and it’s all men. I couldn’t find a date so we could know what year.

Super Nana & Papa to the Rescue

What happens when Nana and Papa acquire more than a dozen grandkids over the course of 20 years? We morph into Super Nana and Papa, of course. How does one get the designation of Super added to their titles? It ain't easy but I'll tell ya; it takes a whole lot of time and energy.

We had about 30 people attend the Trades Day. Several stopped by to see if we had any fresh vegetables. I was looking forward to fresh vegetable too. It is a little early for there to be a surplus right now because it stayed cold longer this spring.

SENIOR CENTER NEWS

Hi everybody! I hope you’ve all had a good week. Its sure been hot and I guess its gonna get hotter. I sure feel bad for all the fire fighters working that Hitchcock blaze. I pray that they will get it out soon and that they all stay safe while doing it. They have a really tough job.
