If the buyer offers to prepare the mortgage, make sure your own lawyer ap proves it. In most states, the mort gage consists of two parts. You will receive a bond, (a personal promise to pay back the loan). You will also re ceive a mortgage, which is a claim against the property if the promises made in the bond are not kept. Just as the buyer is ad vised to put the deed on record immediately, so you should make sure that the mortgage is promptly re corded. This will give you priority ahead of later claims on the property if there is ever trouble in the future. If you are paying off the present mortgage on the property you have just sold, that factor also should be noted in the public re cords.

The month o f March has seemed to defy that old adage, but the residents o f Willow Creek Terrace can view the past weeks o f chilly wind and more moisture than usual as a prelude to a bountiful, warm spring and summer. And spring and summer will be productive months, if residents and staff get their way. Dallas Craber is ready to put his tractor to good use, and at least five residents with gardening experience are weighing in on plans for a large garden. These veterans are willing to teach fellow residents and novice George Naims, manager, gardening know how. When the garden o f raised beds and field o f com and pumpkins is developed on the newly acquired property to the east o f the facility, a photo sent to First Lady Obama might seem appropriate. When the fresh produce complements the Terrace menus, residents, visitors, and staff will surely experience an even greater appreciation for gardening. While waiting for the weather to allow the outdoor activities, the residents are enjoying their new indoor gallery o f art. Interest in art recently developed from a casual conversation in the commons area, so staff brought books on art from the Heppner Library, and discussions continued on forms o f art. Eventually, some residents shared information about their own artistic abilities, and now displayed for everyone to appreciate is a variety o f talent representing pencil drawing, oil painting, toll painting, reverse paint ing, crocheting, cake decorating, needlepoint, and sculpting. Since creation o f the artwork display in the commons area, at least one resident has sold work. The community if, o f course, encouraged to visit the Terrace and enjoy the gallery. Bud and Harriet Batty had a double celebration earlier in the month. They were honored guests at the open-house that commemorated their 65,h anniversary on March 23 and Harriet’s 94,h birthday on March 21. Everyone was able to join the commons-area flow o f well-wishers and the reminiscing that kept the con versations lively. As March ushers in April, the community on the Hill have just celebrated Marge Burgess’s 91st birthday on the 29th, pleased that she chose crab lou- ies as her special-day treat to share with everyone. Everyone was equally pleased that Mary Goheen was turning 96 on April 1, as they were again to have a great reason to celebrate. In keeping with the National Have-Fun-and- Laugh-at-Work Week, March 29-April 4, the staff might be performing with smiles on their faces. In keeping with their traditional antics, the residents have been planning their April Fools trick for the staff and will see if those smiles can endure. O f course, Naims suspects that the staff’might have a few' tricks up their sleeves, also. These notes might be cautionary for Suzanne Jepsen, Neva DeMayo, Betty Carlson, or Sherron Woodside - depending on whose turn it was to read the Heppner Gazette Times on Wednesday, April 1. Some residents will be attending religious services o f their choice during Holy Week, April 5-11. On April 9, some children will come to the Terrace to help residents color Easter eggs. On the afternoon o f April 11, an egg hunt will keep everyone busy indoors or out. Other special April days that will be learn ing experiences and/or sources o f laughs will be the opening o f the baseball season (with Baseball-and- Caramel-Popcom Day treats, o f course), Twinkies Birthday (the first flavor w as... banana), Wear-Your- PJ’s-to-Work Day (business employees and school personnel/students are invited to join the celebration), Animal-Crackers Day, Karaoke Week (residents and staff will be karaoke-ing, for sure). Hairstylist Appre ciation Day (love the hairdressers for visits and special care at the Terrace - Jan Stroeber and Leah Hiatt), Bird Watching Week (making bird feeders), and Blueberry- Pie, Cherry-Cheesecake, and Oatmeal-Cookie Days (good days to visit, on the 23rd, 28th, and 30lh ) Daily and weekly activities. Celebrations o f the serious and the silly. Appreciation o f people, tal ents, and events. Residents and staff’on the Hill have many reasons to view life as bountiful.
