TAKING BACK A MORTGAGE
As a seller, if you have
agreed to take back a first or
second mortgage from the
buyer (loaned him money at a
specified interest to help final
ize the sale), the documents
can be drawn up by your at
torney. 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.

A view from the hill
By Doris Brosnan
In like a lion - out like a lamb? 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.
