A6 Community Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, February 4, 2015 G RANT C OUNTY SENIORS Prairie City Seniors Rose Coombs PRAIRIE CITY – Can you believe this weather? How many times has this happened in Grant County? Watch out for February and March, we old-timers warn. Larry and Carla are off to cruise the Ca- ribbean area. It might be a lit- tle warmer than here. We are trying to help Mother Nature remember this is winter by putting out snow- themed ceramic centerpieces on the tables. We can always dream. The set-up crew laid eight tables for dinner on Jan. 28, and there were people at all of them. We still have two more we could put place set- tings on, so there is still room for you. The registration book had 75 names. Bu]] led the Àag salute, and Darrell Johnson asked the blessing. Our servers included Sandi Rennels, Joann Phippen and Lana Abarr. Donna Ad- ams and Pam Howard helped before and after the meal, along with Del and Bonnie Lake. Jim swept the Àoors af- ter Joe washed down the table covers. January birthday people included Helen Emmel, Glo- ria Kulis, Ben Luethe, Betty Retherford and Donna Ad- ams. Gloria won the $10 in trade from Huffman’s Mar- ket, and newcomer Charlotte Wright won the $5 in trade from Prairie Hardware and Gifts. Our meal started with ap- ple juice, moved on to fruit salad, an entrée of sauerkraut and German sausages, pota- toes, rolls, and Milky Way chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Won’t need much for supper. The Blue Mountain Care Center ladies, Lorna and Patty, brought Dorothy Blasing, Lois Hill, Floyd Morgan and Gerry Pearl. We made the long haul to Bend on Jan. 26 for Derrol’s examination by the surgeon who replaced his shoulder joint. Have to return every year for three years and then every two-three years after that. All is well. But I found it odd this is the ¿rst time he’s had to re- turn for a check-up of this na- ture. The surgeons who did his ankles, wrists and back don’t keep such close tabs on him. Concluded that the ankles and back are fused and not sup- posed to move, but the shoul- der has to, so they want to be sure it’s moving correctly. After that, we wanted to go to Shari’s restaurant on High- way 97 north for lunch. This is the “mall” where the Sears store just left. Guess who moved in? Hobby Lobby. And everyone in central Oregon wanted to shop there. There were no parking places in the entire lot for hungry eaters. We could see lots of seats inside the restaurant, but no place to park. We even observed peo- ple coming out of Hobby Lob- by with their purchases and walking to their cars in Shari’s parking area. So we gave up that lost cause and traveled to another establishment where they had a special menu for “experienced diners.” Smaller portions and smaller price, too. ’Twas serendipitous, don’t ya know. Cor. 9: 23 “I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its bless- ings along with you.” Monument Seniors Soo Yukawa MONUMENT – I think I jinxed the weather when I wrote about our sun- ny and warm weather. It seemed as if I was think- ing of putting away my summer clothes and then it got very warm. Then, when I commented how it was so beautifully warm and sunny, the weather got quite cold. Yes, maybe I control the weather – not! Ha. We had a bit of trouble with our oven at the Jan. 27 lunch. It was acting up, so our clever cooks impro- vised on the menu. We had spaghetti, garlic bread, fresh salad, and Oreo pud- ding. We were blessed by our cooks, Carrie Jewell and Christy Howell, for their quick thinking and dealing with the situation. Marva Walker and Bob Blakeslee were our greeters. Bob led the flag salute, and yours truly the blessing over the meal. Bob Cockrell won the Chester’s Thriftway gift card, Wally Walker won the Len’s Drug gift card and Judi Bustardo won a free meal. We had 48 attendees and four take-outs. There was a surplus in the food bank, so bags of rice and pasta were avail- able at the back table for anyone who wanted to take it home. The Monument senior bus is in dire need of driv- ers. Marva Walker dislo- cated her hip last week while preparing the bus for a medical trip to Bend. She was incapacitated on the ground for over four hours in the cold because no one could hear her calls for help. This is her third dislocation within a year. She will continue to do the scheduling and the book- keeping. Marva is asking for four-five people to each sign up a five-day week; that would cover the needs and that it would not be such a huge commitment and burden on any one person. The bus seldom runs on weekends. Your com- mitment would be one to two trips. The riders are asked to schedule trips as soon as they have an ap- pointment. This would al- low some advance notice for when drivers would be needed. Would you please give this some thought and consideration on vol- unteering to be a driver? It would be much appreci- ated and would be a great help to your neighbors in getting to their medical appointments. Thanks! We are already in the month of February! I can- not believe that we have gone past one month of the new year already. Oh goodness, I better not blink. I must not squander my time. So many things to do. Enjoy the day, en- joy your loved ones, have a blessed week everyone! Numbers 6:24-25 “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee …” way certificate, and Don Caldwell won the free meals for two at Valley View. Veanne again announced about the AARP Driver’s Safety Class on Feb. 7. There is a sign-up sheet on the wall at the Senior Cen- ter, or contact Ron Dowse at 541-575-4268. The cost is $15.00 for AARP Mem- bers and $20.00 for non members. Those attending should bring a lunch. On Feb. 2, we had hash for our meal. On Thursday, Feb. 5, we will have pork chops. That meal will be sponsored by Tootie Cer- nazanu, in memory of Jim Cernazanu. The John Day Senior Center greatly appreciates everyone who comes in for lunch. We need for every- one to be seated at the table at ll:45am. That’s when the cooks portion out the serv- ing based on the number of tables occupied. If we send out food for seven tables and then more people come in, we have no food for that table. Thank you for your consideration. John Day Seniors Alma Joslin JOHN DAY – On Jan. 26, we had taco salad with all the trimmings, with brown- ies and rainbow sherbet for dessert. Margaret Glass and Susan Fowle greeted us at the desk. The servers were from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Darlene Nodine led the flag salute, and Mary Jane Allen gave the blessing. Darlene Nodine, Mary Jane Allen and Veanne Weddle deliv- ered 20 meals along with eight frozen ones. Robert Widell won the free meal, and Mary Jane Allen won the Len’s Drug certificate. Veanne announced there would be an AARP driver’s safety class from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, at the John Day Senior Cen- ter. People attending should bring a lunch.

On Jan. 29, we had ham and beans with corn bread and coleslaw, and cake for dessert. Margaret Glass and Su- san Fowle greeted us at the desk. The entrée was spon- sored by Buzz and Marga- ret Glass.
