Phone 676-9158 • Floral 676-9426 S e rvin g H eppner, Lexin g to n A lon e V by Doris Hrosnan Last Thursday, some W illow C reek Terrace residents joined their families elsew here for Thanksgiving, some stayed in and had family members join them for their first big meal prepared in their new ovens. That fact alone gave residents and staff reason to be thankful, for the previous ovens had not been reliable for quite some time. “How bad was it?” manager George Naims was asked. She jokes that it was a case of replacing the ovens or replacing Bobbi (the Terrace cook). “There was absolutely no question of w hat we needed to do.” This w eek on Thursday, Terrace residents will join the Heppner community for the Holiday Light Parade, and they and staff will be eager to see w hat the winning bid w ill be for their contribution to the Trees-and-Decorations Auction. This year’s donation is a wooden "gingerbread" sleigh, about three feet long, pulled by a gingerbread boy and filled w ith "gingerbread" themed goodies. Those w ho helped w ith the entry enjoyed it so much, they are already discussing possible themes for next year’s donation. Just days later, on Saturday. December 2. the Terrace will he decorating for the month’s holidays, and they invite all interested persons to join them for their Deck- the-Halls party, from 2 to 4 p.m.. "Of course,” they say, they will serve refreshments to all the helping hands. With decorations in place, the Willow Creek Terrace will offer a fitting, cozy atmosphere for the many visitors they hope to have during the holiday season. Already they are looking forward to the caroling that the group from the Lutheran, Episcopal and Methodist churches w ill share on the ninth. And the DIY 4-H group of young people will be coming for a visit and surprise activity on the afternoon of December 10. Two groups of carolers w ill be welcome on the nineteenth: the Heppner Elementary School kindergarten, first, and second graders and the Cub Scouts. The month, residents and staff hope, will bring other visitors to their home, also. While the carolers are singing on December 9, they might decide to include the Happy Birthday song for Floyd Green. Floyd moved to the Terrace last January, so this is his first birthday on the hill. This youngest resident is truly a "local,” for he has lived almost all his 74 years in south Morrow County. He was the second-to-youngest of the three girls and four boys of Homer and Mary Brennon Green, born at Eight-Mile, schooled there and at the Liberty School and Heppner High School. Except for some excursions out of the area, including his two years in Korea after being drafted, Floyd has remained on county soil and has worked some of that soil over his years of ranching and farming employment. Before coming to the Terrace, Floyd lived in Lexington, where a sister and brother still live. One piece of evidence that Floyd has adapted to his new home is the fact that he has already placed his request for his birthday dinner: chicken and German chocolate cake. Snow might not be a favorite thing of Floyd’s because he is reminded of the many times he had to walk in it w hen living out by E ig h t-M ile, but its recen t accumulations have offered an especially appealing view from the Hill. Looking out at the blanket of snow and frosted trees can add to the cozy feeling residents enjoy in their warm home, and they view that as one more thing to be thankful for. Stroll Heppner on November 30 Stroll Heppner and the 10th annual Parade of Lights will be held Thursday. Nov. 30.
