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.
