Thanksgiving is upon
us, so Tom’s word for the
day told us to “have an atti-
tude of gratitude.” To get
his first table thingy, he
had to say: have a ‘grape’
attitude.
Therefore, the table that
had some grapes in among
the horn of the plenty (or
basket, or in our case, cup),
got to go first through the
food serving line. Only one
more time for a meal this
month so be sure to come
next week for the Thanks-
giving meal. And bring a
pie, cake, cookies or (???),
to go along with the turkey,
potatoes, gravy and other
goodies!
Meanwhile – Carlos and
Jay took care of the home
deliveries, Jay led the flag
salute and Tom asked the
blessing. The winner of the
gift certificate donated by
Chuck’s Little Diner was
Cathy Lewis. We did it
early this month, so we can
do the birthday recognition
next week. Why? ‘Cause we
won’t be having a meal on
the 27th, which would have
been the day to have the
birthday drawing. Got that?
OK, moving on. ...
Between cook Laura K.,
assistant Cook Laura B.,
Veanne and Tom, we got
a great meal prepared and
served to us. We had 45
names on the book. In order
to savor the big meal next
week, we had a smaller meal
this week, but it was just as
filling and delicious! To wit:
Hearty hamburger-veggie
soup, roll, applesauce, and a
Jell-O parfait.
Heather Swank is still
looking for people to help
with the census next year. If
you need some extra money,
this is the job for you. We
have info on the registra-
tion table. You need to be
all signed up before the end
of the year, even though
the work won’t start until
March.
Lorna
and
Krystin
brought Gordon Sindt, Mar-
ilyn Randall, Carole Ashby
and Mary Crawford from
the Blue Mountain Care
Center. We had other diners,
too: Gary and Marnie Medi-
ger, Judy Bracken and Lyn
McDonald joined us. Then
they went through the senior
Sales Corner and found lots
of goodies! By the time you
read this, Derrol will have
had another surgery. We
have quite a time filling out
the patient surgical history
since they only give you a
half dozen lines. And as for
what year it was – he has
to stop and think which car
we had when he has which
procedure. Anybody else do
that?
The pinochle Corner is
still going strong. My part-
ners (had three different
ones today) and I won all
three games today. And I
didn’t Have to scream once.
Well, time for Jeop-
ardy. Must go answer the
questions…
1 Tim. 3:16 “Beyond all
question, the mystery of god-
liness is great: He appeared
in a body, was vindicated
by the spirit, was preached
among the nations, was
believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.”

Hope everyone had a great
Veteran’s weekend. I had sent
my article before I had left for
Washington to visit family, but
I guess there was some issue.
My family and I went to visit
my in-laws before the weather
changed and we couldn’t
travel. We also went to visit a
new baby niece. It was a nice
visit, and we had a good time.
Since I was gone, my
friend Kristi Guimon (thanks
Kristi!) took down all the
information for me at senior
center lunch for Tuesday,
Nov. 12. Our greeters at the
table were Jimmy Cole, Kristi
Guimont, and Ricki Doland.
Jimmy and Ricki collected
and counted the money and
checked in the guests. Kristi
wrote down all the announce-
ments. Bodean Andersen led
everyone in the flag salute,
made the announcements, and
prayed the blessing over the
meal.
The cooks Terry Cade
started because I wanted to
say hi and visit with a lot of
the ladies for I had not seen
some of them in such a long
time. We all sure had a won-
derful time and had a beauti-
ful fellowship time visiting
and eating together too. Hope
you all can come out and join
us for the next meeting.
Well, that celebration of
being thankful is coming up
again. It is always good to
be thankful for all that we
have for we truly have been
blessed by the Lord. I pray
that we really reflect on what
really is important in life and
that is our Lord first, and fam-
ily, friends, and our nation.
That is the order that I would
say is important to me any-
way. We have so much to be
praising the Lord for. One of
the nights, I went outside and
the sky was so clear and the
stars were out. I just had to
sing “How Great Thou Art” to
the Lord. Those stars outside
were amazing and beautiful!
Truly our God is powerful and
worthy to be praised.
Psalm 19:1 “The heavens
declare the glory of God; And
the firmament sheweth His
handiwork.”
and Carrie Jewell apparently
made some new item on the
menu. They called it “Beef
and Cheese Casserole.” Some
people called it baked spa-
ghetti. They also served a fresh
green salad, garlic bread, and
bar cookies with chocolate
frosting. We thank our cooks
once again for their hard work
and fabulous meals.
There were 44 guests on
the books and six takeouts.
Scott Hammel was the lucky
winner of the Len’s Drug gift
card. Gary Engle and Clar-
ence Harvey both won free
meal tickets. I think the folks
that have vowed to come
every Tuesday for lunch
from Spray, will no longer be
counted as visitors. Ha.
Katee Hoffman is still
accepting donations to help
veterans and their families for
funeral and burial arrange-
ments for our former service-
men and women. If you would
like more information regard-
ing this, please contact Katee
Hoffman, 541-575-1631.
Our next sewing class will
be held Dec. 14th. We had
quite a few ladies at our last
session, and it was great fun.
It took me a little while to get
