A6 Community Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, February 11, 2015 G RANT C OUNTY S ENIORS Prairie City Seniors Rose Coombs PRAIRIE CITY – You could tell it was February when you came into the Hall last week. The Valentine’s decorations were on the walls and the tables. Thanks to those who had a part in that. The ceramic center- pieces were really cute. This week, we will have a special Valentine’s dinner, so you’d better come. We only had 69 names today, so there is still room for you. We finally got the Fire Marshal’s occupancy no- tice. We can have 114 at the tables and over 200 if just sitting in the chairs. Seems reasonable. Buzz, Bruce, Jim and Joe did their usual bang-up job of setting the tables. Then Buzz and Jim made the home deliveries. Our volunteer servers included Joann Phippen, Sandi Rennels, Linda Boy- er, Dusty Harris, and Donna Adams. These servers, and others, helped in the clean up in the kitchen after- wards, too. Pam had to run the dishwasher due to the absence of Assistant Cook Helen, due to being overtak- en by the local respiratory crud. Get well soon, Helen, along with lots of others in the county. Buzz led the Flag Salute and Darrell Johnson asked the blessing. The winner of the $5 in trade donated by Prairie Hardware & Gifts was Margie Parker. We indulged in orange juice, orange Jell-O with pears, taco soup with cheese, fried spuds, corn bread and a very moist chocolate cake with a yummy topping. The Blue Mountain Care Center ladies – Lorna and Brandi – brought Dorothy Blasing, Lois Hill, Dollina Humphreys, Robert Ridell, and Gerry Pearl. We went to the Ground Hog Day supper on Mon- day, Feb. 2. Saw lots of people who could come to senior dinner … Then on Thursday, we went to Bak- er and got good news about Derrol’s dizziness: PT guy is pretty sure that the crys- tals in the inner ear are where they are supposed to be. The sensations that Derrol has now are coming from a body that has to be retrained with eye and bal- ance exercises. Seems to be working. PTL. In other news, the final word has come that son No. 2 will get the keys to their new house before Val- entine’s Day. Now that’s a present and a half, huh? Laurel is packing like mad. An advance notice: there will be an Evening of Enter- tainment sponsored by Tal- ents and Treasures in April. Strings & Beyond are prac- ticing diligently. And the ensemble is working on the Easter presentation. It will be different. Then in June will be a very interesting presentation at the Canyon City Cemetery – and I’m not referring to why you usual- ly go to the cemetery. So watch for these announce- ments so you can mark your calendars accordingly. “With a voice of singing, declare, proclaim this, ut- ter it even to the end of the earth …” – Isaiah4 8:20 Monument Seniors Soo Yukawa MONUMENT – So, I have a confession to make … I am not a very organized person DQG,DPDÀ\E\WKHVHDWRI my-pants type person as well. Yeah, I put on a pretty good façade and fooled you all! The reason I am confess- ing this is because for the life of me, I can’t seem to recall where my paper with all the info written about the events of last week’s senior lunch. So I apologize in advance if I couldn’t recall all the info and miss a few items. I’ve learned my lesson though, I will now carry a notebook and make sure my husband knows ex- actly where it is. Our greeters last week for our lunch were Bob Blakeslee, Bodean Anderson, and Mar- va Walker. Bob led the Flag Salute and we had a special guest, the Cowboy Chaplain, who blessed the meal and his lovely wife Sandy accompa- nied him. We also had Donna Camp- bell’s sister and brother-in- law join us for lunch. We had a great meal of open-faced roast beef sand- wiches with mashed potatoes and gravy. Along with that we had carrots and cake. Our hardworking cooks were Ter- ry Cade and Carrie Jewell. We had about 47 attend- ees and three takeouts. Jimmy Cole won the free meal and Bob Yukawa won the Len’s card. I’m sorry but I couldn’t remember who won the Ches- ter’s gift card. If you want to get out and come out for a lit- tle drive and meet some new folks, we’d love to have you join us for lunch! Monument Senior Center lunch on Tues- days at 12 noon. This weather sure has got- ten me confused if I wasn’t already. I can’t make out what to put on half the time before I go outside. I also am won- dering if we should trim and prune our trees? I have so much to learn living out here. One of the new things I’ve learned is canning fruit. That sure was a long day and, boy, it was a lot of work! I’m a lov- er of the good ol’ slow cooker as well. Having a nice meal all ready to eat after coming in from doing chores is awe- some. One thing I do miss is my Korean food, my mommy’s cooking. I try to make some food that I’ve got, but it just isn’t the same. Home cooked food by your mother is the best. Appreciate the time you have with your parents and enjoy a meal together. “Children, obey your par- ents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and PRWKHUZKLFK LV WKH ¿UVW commandment with promise) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” – Ephesians 6:1-3 John Day Seniors Alma Joslin JOHN DAY – Before I get into the news I would like to give a great big heartfelt thank you to Ron Dowse for covering the news for me the last two weeks. Thanks to him I got to go out of town and visit with several of my children and grandchildren. Thanks again, Ron. Monday, Feb. 2, we had beef hash, fruited Jell-O, Judy’s great homemade biscuits and topped it off with homemade cookies for dessert. Greeting us at the desk were Billie Bullard and Susan Fowle. Kris Labhart and Karen Bailey delivered 18 meals and then eight frozen meals for shut-ins. Our servers to- day were from Blue Moun- tain Hospital Auxiliary. Karen led the flag salute and Ron Dowse asked the blessing. Ron also did the an- nouncing as Veanne was home with the flu. All the announcements were for this week so will be over by the time you read this, so I won’t bore you. We had a newcomer to- day, Lisa Miller, here with Gail Heising. Welcome, Lisa. Kris Labhart won the Len’s gift certificate and Jean Willey won the free meal. On Thursday, Feb. 5, we had pork chops, mashed po- tatoes, gravy, ambrosia sal- ad, Normandy blend veg- gies, rolls and then topped it off with birthday cake, donated by Grant County Hospice and Driskell Chap- el. It was baked by Ches- ter’s bakery. At the desk were Susan Fowle and Billy Bullard. Jim Spell delivered meals locally and our new cook, Shay, delivered to Mt. Ver- non. Together they deliv- ered 21 meals. The entree was furnished by Tootie Cernazanu in mem- ory of her late husband, Jim. 'HQQLV 5H\QROGV OHG WKH ÀDJ salute and Julie Reynolds asked the blessing. Our servers were from St. Thomas Episco- pal Church. Don Caldwell did the an- nouncing as Veanne was still off sick. Get well soon, Veanne. Buz Harris won the Ches- ter’s gift certificate, and Jan Ellison won the lunch for two at Valley View. This Thursday, Feb. 12, we will have chicken cordon bleu and next Monday, Feb. 16, seafood fettuccini. Come join us. Then stay to play bingo. Bingo on Feb. 5 had about 20 players and pretty good pots, plus lots of fun, fellowship, and snacks. “He leadeth me! O bless- ed thought! O words with heavenly comfort frought, Whate’r I do, where’er I be, Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.” – Hymn by Jo- seph Gilmore DAR to meet Blue Mountain Eagle LA GRANDE – The Lone Pine Tree chap- ter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion will meet on Friday, Feb. 13, at the Flying J Restaurant in La Grande.
