St. Patrick’s Senior Center news view from the hill Bv Doris Brosnan Residents and staff of Willow Creek Terrace view the departure o f Suzanne Jepsen from the Board of Directors as a sad occasion for them, but they realize her need for time to commit to other needs. So, with mixed emotions, they hosted the “Farewell and Thank You” reception for her at the Terrace on April 27. Approximately 50 area residents joined them in honoring Suzanne. The Terrace community is pleased to have long time Willow Valley resident Ed Dick join them as a neighbor. If Ed is interested in gardening, he will appreciate the new sidewalk that more easily enables residents with this avocation to get their hands in the dirt. That pleasure may or may not have served the residents well when they celebrated Earth Day on April 22 by planting flowers and then eating the inventive staffs theme-appropriate “dirty dessert with worms.” Busy inside or outside, the residents seem always to enjoy taking time for music. In April, several residents enjoyed the weekly practices of the Sentimentalists- they are always invited to join the women’s singing group- and they welcomed the Old Time Fiddlers back on May 7. May continues to be a full month for Terrace residents. On May 4, Pastor Ruth Swanson presented her humorous look at aging, “Aging: You Can’t Live Without It.” Two residents attended the Wranglers Play Day last Sunday. On Friday of this week, “Crafty Ladies” will come to share a flower craft for all the ladies and a flower for the gentlemen in memory of their mothers and the mothers of their children. On Saturday, the 13'\ the Ladies of the Nazarene Church will host their annual Mothers Day Tea. And presently, the residents and staff are planning a trip to the Morrow County Museum for May 25. Residents enjoy discussing these events with visitors, as well as the topics- of-the-day in our local and regional media. One topic-of-the-day at the Terrace on April 20 was the birthday of Juanita Martin, a busy woman who had to be pinned down on the run as to her preferred birthday- cake flavor. And May will be drawing to a close with another special lady’s special day. Irene Swanson will share her birthday with neighbors, friends and family on May 24. As always, the Terrace community welcomes visitors to come by and enjoy the view from the hill with them. The May 17 menu for the senior center noon meal is meat loaf, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, cole slaw , peaches and brownies. Volunteers who will host the meal are from St. Patrick’s Catholic parish. Serving begins at 11:30 a.m., after opening flag salute and table blessing.
