Well, we have been blessed with
rain that we all know we needed.
And got to go outside today. My
walking is getting better. Hope to be
home next week.
We would like to thank the won-
derful people that donate to furnish
the food for our dinners. Without
those donations, our center would
not have the wonderful meals.
On Oct. 22, we’ll have ham and
scalloped potatoes and blackberry
pie.
On Oct. 26, we’ll have spaghetti
with meat sauce, salad, garlic bread
and cream cheese brownies.
On Oct. 29, we’ll have beef stew,
biscuits, cucumber and onion salad
with vinaigrette. Oops, I forgot the
dessert. Sorry!
Stay safe, you all.

Terry Cade and Carrie Jewell
prepared for us our Tuesday lunch
of chicken sandwiches with lettuce,
tomato and pickles. Along with our
sandwiches, we also had macaroni
salad, french fries and cookies. Oh,
yes, we here recipients of the Monu-
ment Senior Center meals eat really
well! Thank you to our cooks who
labor for us. We are truly thankful.
Our volunteers who help things
run smoothly were Kristi Guimont,
Bob and Sylvia Cockrell. Kristi fills
out the paperwork. Bob counts the
money. Sylvia hands out the meals
at the door. We are thankful for each
and every volunteer for coming
out and taking the time to help out.
Thank you to all our volunteers. We
could not do without them either!
Don’t forget that there is a win-
ter rummage sale going on this Sat-
urday, Oct. 24. They will just have
winter clothes out for sale. There
will not be any specific price tag but
donations being accepted. This will
help to make room and get rid of
winter clothes, not to mention that
it will help those in need of winter
clothes. So if you need any warm
clothes, coats or jackets, come on
down to the senior center on Satur-
day. Everything will be on the porch.
So here is my continuation of my
goat saga. I named the little baby
goat kid that had the hay sticking
out of his mouth Davey. I pulled
out the hay, and pulled some more,
and then some more. He had gorged
himself with so much hay and I was
wondering why? So I watched him,
and noticed that Bonnie, his mama,
was not letting him nurse. He was
so hungry, and that was why he was
eating all the hay. Poor little guy, so
I am now bottle feeding him. He is
still alive and is now thriving. He
definitely got his collostrum. I am
believing that the other two baby
goat kids did not get enough col-
lostrum from their mama before she
died, and that is why they did not
make it.
Little Davey knows his name, for
he comes running when I call him.
Oh my goodness, he is just adorable.
He knows the bottle very well also.
He sucks down that milk, and he
now has a big, fat and round tummy.
If the weather is going to be real
cold, I bring him into the house and
put him in a container. I feed him in
the morning, and he walks down the
driveway to the goat pen with me.
He is so funny, for he skips, hops
and runs down. He has done this a
few times and now he knows exactly
where we are going and runs ahead!
I guess goats can be pretty smart. I
think I might train him to walk on a
collar and leash, hmm.
I noticed one of the other triplet
sets not thriving. Her brother and
sister have been hogging the milk
and push her out. To be continued.
Psalm 47:1-2 “O clap your
hands, all peoples; Shout to God
with the voice of joy. For the LORD
Most High is to be feared, a great
King over all the earth.”

Wow. What a week. We went to
see the dermatologist on Monday
and did I get information! Remember
those “visions” I had after the eyelid
surgery? Well, come to find out, peo-
ple of a certain age and blood ves-
sel construction have difficulty with
anesthesia. It does something to the
brain. You’re telling me! I just wish
I could have taken a photo of those
“visions.” They were all perfect!
Beautiful patterns, etc. Anyway, the
doctor said that he had a few major
surgeries in the last few years, and
he had the same problem. The older
doctors recognize the situation, but
the younger ones don’t. Said it took
six months from his last major sur-
gery to get back to his pre-surgery
“processing” of information in his
brain. So I feel validated! And I hope
that I won’t take six months to get
back to normal. He also removed at
least two “migrating stitches” that
had not absorbed. So I don’t have to
worry about those anymore! It was
time for them to come out because
they were causing “proud flesh” to
grow. (You who have internet con-
nection can look that up.) They eye-
lids are still a little swollen, but mak-
ing progress.
So back to our regularly sched-
uled broadcast: Our meal was to be
roast beef and spuds and gravy. But
due to circumstances beyond our
control, it turned into roast beef au
jus with spuds and carrots. Was still
delicious! We had cucumbers for
the green vegetable, a roll and rasp-
berry cobbler for dessert. Thanks to
Tom and helper Laura B. along with
Ginger for getting the meal done.
Then Ginger did the home deliver-
ies while Pam, Carole and I got the
pick-up meals out the door. We still
have tomatoes to give away along
with some little potatoes.
We want to pause to remember
our friend Larry Wright. His special
brand of humor will be missed. Our
sympathies to Carla and her fam-
ilies. May God bless you with his
comfort at this time.
This week also included our
59th wedding anniversary. I bought
myself three crossword puzzle
books, and Derrol got his “new” util-
ity trailer painted — by me. There.
That takes care of that. The day after
that was our youngest grandson’s
— in Grant County — 11th birth-
day. He had a party and, would you
believe it, baked his own birthday
cake! And it was delicious! He can
bake me a cake anytime!
We got our ballots and marked
them and deposited the in the “Offi-
cial Drop Box” at the Courthouse. So
you do the same. I was given a cal-
endar that has quotations from some
of our founding fathers to put in this
missive. This is the one I chose for
today: “If we are to guard against
ignorance and remain free, it is the
responsibility of every American to
be informed.” — Thomas Jefferson.
So I hope you are and will vote
accordingly. Remember lost of men
and women died so you could. Don’t
let their sacrifice be in vain.
II Corinthians 6:1,2 “As God’s
fellow workers we urge you not to
receive God’s grace in vain. … I tell
you, now is the time of God’s favor,
now is the day of salvation.”

Reserve bull at Pendleton
Angus Show owned by Ox Bow
Ranch
The showing of Aberdeen-An-
gus cattle at the Round-up grounds
in Pendleton Sunday, preced-
ing the sale Monday sponsored by
the Pacific Coast Aberdeen-An-
gus Association, was one of the fin-
est yet held there, reports the East
Oregonian. Grand Champion bull
was Blackbird Eston of the Mead-
owmere Farms, Deer Park, WA,
and reserve bull was Ox Bow Idol-
mere Pridee, owned by the Ox Bow
Ranch of Prairie City.
Antique
Grant County Art Association
member Mae Jeanett Henning
inspected the Rhinehart build-
ing house in John Day, which
the association is in the process
of remodeling for use as an art
center.
“When we first inspected the
house, we all decided that the
stove would be the first to stay,”
Mrs. Henning said.
Rewiring is now being done by
Red Hasher of Canyon City and an
order of paneling for the walls is
expected to be installed as well.
