I EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 23,2014 A View from the Hill Bv Doris Brosnan The Willow Creek Terrace residents and staff look no worse for wear, so one may assume that everyone has survived some recent challenges unscathed. Not only did most of the residents enjoy some of Heppner’s Wee Bit O’ Ireland events, they must also have worn green on St. Pat’s Day, as no one has complained about having been pinched. And no one has admitted to being fooled on April Fools’ Day, either. The greatest challenge, however, has probably been the remodeling of the Terrace kitchen, but the staff members and residents seemed to take in stride the altered cooking and dining arrangem ents and the construction sounds. These understanding, patient, and flexible people act as though living with some chaos is to be expected from time to time. Two new residents arrived in time to get in on the slight confusion and witness the transformation of the kitchen into a more efficient space. Clinton “Kenneth” and Lucile Peck moved to the Terrace from Lexington on March 24. Just over a week later, Lucile hosted their son and daughter at her birthday luncheon, on April 1, sharing her menu of choice and her birthday cake made by their daughter-in-law with them and the new neighbors. Heppner High to present musical ‘Newsies’ Nine days later, on April 10, RG Watkins celebrated his second birthday at the Terrace. He and Flossie moved in just before his birthday last year. Family members dropped in with birthday wishes throughout the day, and their granddaughter and neighbors enjoyed RG’s birthday dinner that evening. April 10 was also National Siblings Day, which stimulated some interesting conversation that morning. Several residents reminisced about some favorite pets the next day, which was National Pet Day •This week, on the 26,h. the morning discussion could be interspersed with some sighs and titters, for the topic will focus on Remember-Your-First-Kiss Day. Two favorite “special days” this month have been Chocolate Mousse Day (3rd) and Twinkles’ 84,h Birthday (6lh). and residents are surely looking forward to the cook's concoctions on Cherry Cheesecake Day (23rd) and Blueberry Pie Day (28th). Last Friday was a colorful day on the Hill, as the residents were joined by some young friends to color Easter eggs. Last year, for the first time, the Easter Bunny made its way to the Terrace after this coloring event, and on Easter morning, residents had to search high and low for their eggs. Chances were 100 percent that the fuzzy bunny would do the same thing again last Sunday.
