Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Crawfords celebrate 60 years of marriage A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan R ecently read and discussed at Willow Creek Terrace is this poem that residents and staff agree is filled with truth and good advice: "Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu. “ W hen s o m e o n e smiled at me today, I started smiling too. “I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin. “ When he smiled, I realized I’d passed it on to him. “I thought about the smile; then I realized its worth. “A single smile, just like mine, could travel round the earth. “ So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected. "Let's start an epidemic quick and get the world infected!” -Author Unknown This discussion was part o f the T e rra c e ’s o b s e r v a tio n o f th e National Week of Sharing a Smile with Everyone You Meet, August 5-9. Other thoughtful discussions in August: forgiveness on the International Day of Forgiveness (4th), families on National Family Day (11th), and angels on Be-an- Angel Day (22nd). A u g u s t’s s p e c ia l days ended with one that needed no discussion, since everyone agreed that eating on the patio would be a perfect way to observe Eat- Outside Day on the 30th. J u ly h a d e n d e d with outings for Terrace re s id e n ts , w hen they attended Music in the Park in Heppner, on the 29th, and they continued to satisfy their interest in music and enjoy the out-of-doors by traveling to Music in the Parks in Boardman on Aug. 5. Nine residents again caught the bus to Music in the Park in Heppner on Aug. 15, but they were in for a surprise when the thunderstorm and deluge chased them and the musicians into the nearby Lutheran church. Several residents also enjoyed the parade on Aug. 17, and their trip to the fair earlier that week was especially satisfying. Upon arrival, they first realized that their fair booth had earned a first-place ribbon and the People’s Choice Award. As they cruised around the departments, they soon could see that several residents had also earned ribbons on a variety of entries, from Bud Batty’s potatoes to Velma Wight’s, Barb Struthers’s, Bud’s, Alice B uckley’s, Mary Eleanor Gilman’s, Lois Allyn’s and Liz Buehler’s many craft entries. The bus on the ride back to the Hill was festooned with ten red, white, and blue ribbons. (At age 101, Alice Buckley had to be, the staff is certain, the oldest exhibitor this year.) B ud’s potatoes are among the few vegetables harvested this year from the Terrace’s deer- and weather-challenged garden. Residents have enjoyed fresh tomatoes, corn and early peas, but they expect to only dig onions and beets later, a far cry from their usual bounty. F r ie n d s F r a n c e s Dion, Terry and Cheryl Tallman, and Jan Stroeber, and thoughtful people at Columbia River Harvest and Relay for Life, have been kindly sharing some harvest. As Labor Day marks the end of most harvests and summer, thoughts turn to fall activities. Joining in for some of these coming events will be new resident and n eig h b o r B eulah Brownfield. Beulah recently moved to the Terrace from Umatilla, to be nearer her son Steve Brow nfield. Residents view this as one of the best reasons for relocating to Willow Creek Terrace. attractants on the property at least seven days prior to the incident.)
