A View from the Hill
By Doris Brosnan
The “Dog Days of Sum
mer” did not keep some of
the Willow Creek Terrace
residents inside last month.
Instead, August seemed
to be a month for a few
jaunts.
A trip to the North End
of the county became possi
ble for four residents when
Leann Rea took them to the
Port of Morrow tour, guided
by Gary Neal. All were
impressed and surprised
by the increasing number
o f industries in the Port
and by the international, as
well as national, reputation
of many of the businesses.
Residents will be interested
in another trip to the Port
after the SAGE center—
the informative visitors’
center—is completed next
spring.
Ten residents enjoyed
Seniors Day at the Morrow
County Fair on the 16u>.
Not too hot, not too cold,
but just right, the event
offered en tertain m en t,
food concessions, interest
ing displays and booths,
and some surprises. Six
residents— Mabel Heath,
Lois Allyn, Peggy Davis,
Velma Wight and Marge
Burgess—earned ribbons
on entries in the crafts di
vision, and Bud Batty and
Alice Buckley earned rib
bons in the garden produce
division.
Patience paid off for the
six residents who eventu
ally traveled to the North
End for Music in the Parks.
They were in Boardman on
the 20^ for the final perfor
mance of the summer sea
son. Until then, fate seemed
to throw several curves at
them, interfering with ear
lier plans to attend.
Missing at these func
tions were Virginia Wilkin
son and Helen Crawford.
Virginia suffered injuries
from a fall and is presently
working on rehabilitation
at the Richland Rehabili
tation Center; Room 101,
Bed 2; 1745 Pike Ayenue;
Richland, WA 99354. Helen
has recently decided to
move permanently, but not
far away. She now resides
at the Pioneer Memorial
Long-Term Care Facility,
and she is as eager for visi
tors as she was while living
at the Terrace.
Also eager for visi
tors is the Terrace’s new
resident, Jean Ann Turner.
Jean Ann is meeting her
new neighbors and looking
forward to continuing her
visits with old friends.
She missed out on the
August observations on
the Hill, the days of serious
reflection—such as Friend
ship Day, Sisters Day, Mid
dle-Child Day, Best-Friends
Day and Women’s-Equality
Day— and the ones that
included some important
food— Ice-C ream -Sand
wich Day, Root Beer-Floats
Day, Rice-Pudding Day,
Banana-Split Day, Soft Ice-
Cream Day and Peach-Pie
Day. But she and the other
residents are well on their
way into a September of
significant days.
Readers who missed
N u rse ry -R h y m es Day,
C offee-Ice-C ream Day,
A corn-Squash Day and
Studebaker Day might want
to mark their calendars, too,
so that they will be ready
for Fortune-Cookie Day
(13), Ballroom-Dancing
Week (16-22), Miniature-
G olf Day (21), Innergize
Day (23) and Active-Aging
Week (23-29). Are the pos
sible ways to celebrate
almost endless?
Terrace residents and
staff welcome visitors on
their celebratory days and
are always pleased to have
company at the dining table
and in their conversations.
They also appreciate the
donations that continue to
grace their table, most re
cently from Carl and Geri
Martin, Joan Boyd, Uma
tilla Hospice, Anita Bai
ley, Dan and Diana Sharp,
Shirley George, Jerald and
Leann Rea, and Bob and
George Naims.
As the Community on
the Hill prepare for the
changing season, ready to
greet fall, they regret hav
ing to say, “Goodbye,” to
a neighbor who recently
passed away. Peggy Davis
passed on Sunday, Septem
ber 9. She will be missed.
