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.”
