Monday, Feb. 10, we
were greeted and checked
in by Everett King and
Darlene Nodine. Everett
did the announcements,
and Buzz Gilmore led the
flag salute.
Now that the library is
open every Monday and
Thursday from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m., Linda could really
use more books.
Remind yourself to
bring some books in so our
library can really flourish.
Linda does a great job as
our librarian as well as all
the other things she does to
make our center be attrac-
tive and welcoming to all
who visit.
Jean Willey and Jea-
nette Kile were the win-
ners of the drawings.
David Gill of Step For-
ward and Francis and Bon-
nie Kocis delivered 31
fresh and 20 frozen meals
to homes of shut-ins in the
area.
Thanks, all of you, for
your time and service.
Francis Kocis asked the
blessing, and he and other
members of the Redeemer
Lutheran Church served a
grand pork-chop meal to
24 seated lunch partakers.
Thanks,
Lutheran
Church, for your friendly
service to our lunch goers
and cleaning it all up
afterwards.
Thursday, Feb. 13, we
were met by Jeanette Jul-
srud and Bonnie Kocis at
the desk to check us in and
share a quick chat and a
few smiles before being
seated at a table. Jeanette
did the announcements
and Ron Phillips led the
flag salute.
A plea is being made for
reusable bags for deliver-
ing the in-home meals to
our community.
This is a serious need
in order for us to deliver
food to shut-ins in our
community.
Thanks in advance for
your help with this need.
Another mention was
made for our library need-
ing more books.
Some books are not
being returned so more
books are needed to fill the
shelves.
Forty fresh meals were
delivered throughout our
community by Ron Phil-
lips, Carl Metler and
David Gill, Larry Palmer
and others from the Step
Forward crew.
Thanks, all of you, for
your time and service to
others.
Dusty Harris and Don
Porter were our drawing
winners for the day.
There were three door
prizes for today, and the
winners were Ron Dowse,
Carol LeQuieu and Lon
Davis. Congrats, you
all.
Dale Stinnett asked the
blessing, and the servers
from our John Day Vol-
unteer Fire Department
served a fine meal to 64
lunch-goers.
That was a great crowd,
and the volunteers did a
great job for us. Thanks,
you guys.
The Scriptures tell us
many things. Here is one:
In all things give thanks
and believe in me and ask
anything in my name and
you shall receive.

I think we have the best
cooks ever. Terry Cade and
Diana Harvey made us pizza
for our lunch. Terry called
me over before lunch started.
I thought I was in trouble
so I quickly said, “I didn’t
do it, whatever it was!” Ha.
Terry had me come over to
show me that she and Diane
had made for me a couple of
cheese-less pizzas because
they knew I didn’t like
cheese. Wasn’t that so sweet
of them? I was blessed. The
funny thing was that I told
them I appreciated it, but
pizza is the one thing with
cheese that I can and will eat.
Our wonderful cooks also
made a fresh green salad for
us and cake. It was a very
yummy meal and we love
our cooks.
The greeters at the front
table were Kristi Guimont,
Miranda Carlin and Mia
Yukawa. Kristi and Miranda
collected and counted the
money. Mia checked in the
guests. Bodean Andersen led
us in the flag salute, made the
announcements and prayed
the blessing over our meal.
We had 62 guests on the
books and five takeouts. The
free meal ticket winners were
Bruce Kramer and Randy
Sweek. We had the census
recruiters come and join us
for lunch. We also had Katee
Hoffman, her volunteer and
her dog. We also had our
friends from Spray join us
for lunch.
Don’t forget that we are
having our sewing class on
Saturday, Feb. 22. The time
is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We
share a potluck lunch around
noon. Just come and join us
and hang out. It is a wonder-
ful time of sewing, fellow-
ship, eating, crocheting and
visiting. This class is free,
but there is a donation jar if
anyone wants to contribute to
help pay for the rental of the
senior center. We thank Judy
and Aaron Harris for set-
ting things up for us and we
appreciate them very much.
Let’s continue to lift up
our friends Jimmy Cole and
Aaron Harris in our prayers,
for those prayer warriors out
there. We can stand in the
gap for them and out of the
mouths of two or three wit-
nesses, it shall be established.
Our God is great, and nothing
is impossible for him to do.
The kids from Monument
School hosted and made a
Valentine’s fundraiser din-
ner for their year-end trip to
Washington, D.C. Michelle
Engle, along with some
moms and students, made
a very delicious meal of tri-
tip, baked potatoes, baked
beans, dinner rolls, salad and
dessert. The meal was quite
delightful. The decorations
and the candles also created
a nice ambiance for the eve-
ning. Good job to everyone
involved!
That same evening when
we drove home, we smelled
a skunk near our driveway.
All the female goats and
babies were not in their goat
shed. We had to stop and
investigate. They were act-
ing very nervous and scared.
I think the skunk might have
been in there, but it left. The
goats refused to go in. To be
continued.
2 Corinthians 13:1 “This
is the third time I am coming
to you. In the mouth of two or
three witnesses shall every
word be established.”

My, my, what a difference
a week makes! There was 18
inches of snow last week;
now there is zilch, zero, nada.
Think that it mostly went into
the ground and didn’t cause
any major flooding in our
area. Saw one hay shed that
could not take the weight
and a few places where high
water ran over the road. Then
we find out that Grant County
was special.
Juan led the flag salute,
and Jack asked the blessing
on his special day. Carlos and
Luann did the home deliver-
ies. We had 50 names on the
registration book. Since we
didn’t get to give away the
$5 gift card donated by Len’s
Drug last week, we did it this
week. I drew the winning
number, and it was mine!
Happy Valentine’s Day to
me!
Then the table that went
first through the serving line
was the one that had the high-
est heart. Now Tom had put
all kinds of hearts all over the
hall — on the doors, walls
and tables. But then he put
one on the ceiling right over
the table that I usually sit at.
Yup. We got to go first! My
cup runneth over. And we
were served delicious spa-
ghetti and meatballs, sev-
en-layer salad (olives, lettuce,
peas, spinach, cucumbers,
tomatoes, carrots, cabbage,
cheese — whew), bread and
dessert — drum roll please
— strawberry shortcake with
real whipped cream!
Tom’s word for the day:
A smart wife is one who has
spaghetti ready when her
husband comes home from
a fishing trip. I’ll take Laura
and Laura’s spaghetti any day
over fish. We were all stuffed
to the gills after this dinner.
You should come try us out.
Ginger announced that
Clark’s Disposal is giving a
discount for seniors, but you
have to call and ask for it.
Thank you, people.
She also announced the
sudden passing of our senior
friend Sandi Reynolds Newel
while in Arizona.
Since it was Jimmy Lun-
zman’s birthday on Feb. 10,
we sang to him and gave him
a dessert with a candle on
top. He had a great time at his
80th birthday party at the teen
center on Feb. 8.
Dave Rose came around
again to try to sign up cen-
sus takers. Said he’s making
progress, so that’s good.
Lorna and Erika brought
Mary Crawford, Arlita Arnett
and Gordon Sindt from the
Blue Mountain Care Center.
Our potluck and concert
on Feb. 16 will be over and
done with by the time you
read this. But there will be
another opportunity for you
to come hear good ol’ music
in March. The Richardson
Brothers and friends will be
entertaining us on March
20 at 6:30 p.m. here in the
hall. These guys are good!
So don’t miss it. This is also
a benefit for the Prairie City
Senior Citizens. And in case
you haven’t heard, there will
be a play presented during
‘62 Days weekend in June.
Steel Magnolias is in rehears-
als, and you would be sur-
prised at who is in the cast.
But I’m not going to tell.
You have to come and see for
yourself.
James 2:8 “Keep the royal
law found in Scripture, ‘love
your neighbor as yourself.’”
