Shop for veterans
Blue Mountain Eagle
JOHN DAY – People can
help veterans with their hol-
iday shopping by bringing
unwrapped gifts to Mosier’s
Home Furnishings in John
Day from Nov. 2-16.
The Veterans Gift Shop
project provides items that
will go to a “store” at the Port-
land Veterans Administration
myeaglenews.com/breakingnews
Medical Center. Veterans at
the hospital, many of whom
have little or no income, are
then able to “shop” for free
gifts for their families.
Members of the Ellis Tracy
Unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary are the organizers
of the project.
The items will be on dis-
play in the front window at
Mosier’s through Nov. 16.

PRAIRIE CITY –
My, oh my, did we
have a turn-out on Oct.
Prairie City
21! There were 99
Seniors
names on the book,
then Louanne
Zweygardt showed up
Rose Coombs
with the 10 members
of the Prairie City
High School class of
2016 to help serve! It was Homecoming Week and they wanted
to do something to give back to the people who had supported
them. Thanks a heap, future adults. It was a good day for you to
come.
“Chairman” Joe led the flag salute and Jack Retherford
asked the blessing. Jean Kline won the Prairie Hardware &
Gifts certificate and Bob Meador gets to take Leone out to
Chuck’s Little Diner.
The ladies from the Blue Mountain Care Center - Lorna,
Jonie and Wendy - brought Dorothy Blasing, Lois Hill, Dollina
Humphreys and Marilyn Randall. Then Jonie Jones introduced
herself as the new administrator and Wendy Ballou as the new
Director of Nursing Services at the Care Center. Pleased to
make your acquaintance.
Ivan Nance and his entourage rolled in along with Roseann
Day, Dave Traylor and Joe Schmidt. Good to see you all.
Our meal had grape juice, mixed broccoli and carrots,

mashed potatoes and gravy, roast pork, rolls, and pumpkin
whoopie pies for dessert. The drinks of coffee, tea, milk or
buttermilk were also served. You can get your own iced tea
from the beautiful dispenser on the side table. And if you don’t
like any of that there is always good ol’ H20.
Fran Bunch, Sandi Rennels, Bonnie Lake and Leone Meador
helped before and after the meal. Then the men took care of
washing the table cloths and sweeping the floor. Wanda and I
got the money counted while Bruce conducted some Grange
business.
Speaking of which, we hope to have some news on the sale
of the building by next week. The back room looks a lot better
now. We hope by the end of the month it will be completely
clean.
Well, it’s the time of the year when you start to think about
putting the A/C to bed. Then it turns warm and you have to turn
it on again. We did close the “foundation” vents. That’s a hard
job. It took five minutes. Putting the A/C away takes a little
longer. Decisions, decisions.
Did you know components derived from the blood of cattle
are utilized to manufacture fire retardants? Wonder who figured
that out? Cattle by-products are also used to make candles,
crayons, detergents, mouthwash, paint, soap and toothpaste.
Then there is the leather for shoes, gloves and upholstery. Even
tires have stearic acid, which makes rubber hold its shape. (Info

JOHN DAY – On
Oct. 19, we had clam

MONUMENT – On
Oct. 26, I woke up to
some cold fog that
cleared into beautiful
sunshine after a
refreshing rain. Fall is

definitely in the air!
There is some
scrambling to get
some last minute
things done around here before the ground freezes over
though. I’ve got a few things on my list. I will enjoy the winter
in my nice warm house doing some little projects and
pondering life.
On Oct. 20, we had yummy hamburgers with all the fixings,
french fries, the best macaroni salad and cake. Just thinking
about it right now is making my mouth water. I haven’t had
any breakfast and I’m just sipping some green tea as I type up
this article.
Bob Blakeslee, Bodean Anderson and Marva Walker
greeted us. Bob led the flag salute and Bodean prayed the
blessing. Linda Abraham won the Len’s Drug gift card, and
Judy Harris and Judy Cavendar won the free meals. We had a
few lovely ladies join us for lunch from Condon: Garnett
Buttercourt, Narita Buttercourt, Karrie Hickerson and Marje
Monument
Seniors
LaRue gave us the pleasure of the their company. We hope they
enjoyed their meal and come back real soon. We had 51 guests
and eleven take-outs.
My family and I are really enjoying living here in
Monument. We truly love our community. Judy Harris gave us
ladies the most wonderful quilting class. I took my two girls
with me. We had so much fun! Judy had everything prepared
and we even received gifts of these fabulous little ironing
boards that Judy made herself. The portable ironing boards
were such a clever and nifty idea that I think I will balk at
having to iron alongside my sewing when I have to. The fact
that I had to get the big, bulky ironing board out and set it up
would cause me to groan and moan that I had to iron as I sewed
my little projects. This portable ironing board is just right next
to me on the table and doesn’t take up a whole lot of space.
All of us were so blessed by our wonderful and generous
friend, Judy Harris, that we can’t thank her enough. Since we
had such a fabulous time of quilting, we will be having more of
those days coming up. Anyone is welcome; we share our time
and commune with one another while sewing, listen to some
funny tales and share a potluck lunch, and it’s a free class. I will
let you know when the next class will be.
Bingo will be at 7pm this Friday, Oct. 30. It will be a
potluck dinner.
