Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 20,2011 - THREE A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan What’s not to like when you live on a hilltop with great views, have a cook and housekeepers to lighten your load, can share time and memories with contemporaries, and are halfway into a month designated as “the Month of Ice Cream”? These are some of the benefits being enjoyed in July at the Willow Creek Terrace. Another benefit is the fresh-from-our-garden produce that enhances the daily menus. Bud Batty, LoisAl- lyn and manager George Nairns have been especially busy in the garden—with help from some of the other residents—and the nearly- weedless, healthy-looking plants testify to their ef forts. Already the peas have been picked four times, the onions are nearly ready for “buttery, baked Walla Walla Sweets,” and the beets have been harvested once by vis iting Brosnan boys, Carson and Conor. Corn, squash, potatoes and more veg gies will soon be adding to great menus at the Terrace. Almost as fresh, straight from the gardens of friends, have come donations from the Seilers, Lauritsens, Me- ligans and Watkinses. The same weather that has stimulated some growth in the garden has also enabled Willow Creek Terrace residents to jaunt north for a picnic in the Ir- rigon park. Eight residents enjoyed the outing and the “ Music in the Park” on July 11. When at home, res idents find the weekly rou tine comfortable, but also invite interesting changes. On Thursday morning of this week, for instance, resi dents will be encouraged to enjoy manicures offered by a small group of visiting women. One recent change has occurred in the exercise program and has become a fixed part of the daily rou tine. Kristy Taylor is lead ing the group of enthusiasts in Tai Chi. Two new faces in the exercise circle belong to Willis Bailey, recently from Joseph, and Billie Kroske from Redmond. Bil lie and Velma Wight have discovered some mutual memories and acquaintanc es from their younger years in Redmond. If and when one more person moves into the Terrace, the community will again be complete. And to complete this report from the Hill, the writer returns to the topic of “ice cream.” As most readers know, every month of the calendar is full of both significant and comical days of observa tions at the Terrac?. July holds the record, though, for number of days relating to that creamy, rich dessert. On July 1, residents and staff celebrated “Creative Ice Cream Day” by trying flavors that included garlic (yes; not a typographical error), peanut butter and rhubarb. July 4 lh included homemade ice cream w ith the fireworks. On the 7"’, ev eryone recognized “Straw berry Sundae Day,” and just ten days later indulged on “ Sundae Sunday.” Yet to come, on the 22nd, they will celebrate the birthday of the ice cream cone. Interesting to note on the Terrace calendar is that on the last day of this month, the cook will be serving Salad Supper. Sure ly, residents will view that as a tasty way—with many fresh garden ingredients— to pay for their month of ice-cream-filled days.
