A5 SENIORS PRAIRIE CITY – ‘Tis the season for Thanksgiving already! Tom had the cut- est little baskets to represent ‘horns of plenty’ for the centerpieces today. The table to go first had a special little box that had instructions on it. So how did that happen? Because the word for the day was: Most people would rather risk catastrophe than read the directions. Har, Har. Juan led the flag salute and Jack asked the blessing. Carlos and Luann took care of the home deliveries. The $5 gift card donated by Len’s Drug went to Betty Retherford. The most important announcement was to remember to bring a pie or other dessert to the Thanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 20. And give the cooks a heads up on how many too. After all, we don’t want to run out of food! The Blue Mountain Care Center did not get to come today, but we had guests from John Day: Balbina, Marie and Gregg. Thanks for joining us today. Our kitchen staff of Laura, Ray and Katelyn prepared lasagna, green salad, French bread, beets/onions, and a cherry cobbler for dessert. We were stuffed! Got to wondering what the difference was between French bread and Italian bread. And who decided that it should be named that. One of those ‘ponderables.’ We found the owner of the hearing aid. He was most appreciative. And if you like to read a wholesome, countrified magazine, we have a big stack of Coun- try Woman donated by Helen Emmel. Might take some down to the clinic wait- ing room. Get tired of all the hunting an fishing ones there… Was a quiet Halloween in our neigh- borhood; Joel and boys did a ‘booth’ at the Trunk or Treat at the teen center. They brought their big ol’ lovable dog named Hershey. Their gig was that if you let Her- shey kiss you, you got a real candy Her- shey kiss. So the patter was: a Hershey Kiss for a Hershey Kiss. Ho, Ho. Ps. 85:10 “Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Prov. 24. 24:26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.” COPS AND COURTS By Rudy Diaz Blue Mountain Eagle Arrests and citations in the Blue Mountain Eagle are taken from the logs of law enforcement agencies.
