But it wasn’t. And regrets are huge! Belated Happy Birth- day, RG. Word is that your special day was a fine event shared with Terrace neigh- bors and several family members. They all surely enjoyed the barbecued ribs you ordered for your birth- day lunch. Next birthday will be another hit, and cer- tainly noted in the Gazette- Times. Another special event earlier this month occurred a week ago: The Rebekahs organization of Lexington came to the Hill on the 20 th with a variety of salads and rolls, a treat for the Residents and the seven Rebekahs who were able to attend. They all enjoyed the food, the conversations, and the apple crisp and ice cream that the Terrace provided. Twice now, several Residents have participat- ed in the reading of the Gazette-Times with Sandra Blake. This is an oppor- tunity to discuss the local news and an opportunity for Residents to explain many of the “who” and “what” of the stories to Sandra, who has only recently returned to Heppner after many, many years away. Still ap- preciated would be a vol- unteer reader able to step in for Sandra, should she have a conflicting appointment. Anyone interested should call 541-676-0004. Another familiar face at the Terrace, especially on some Mondays, is that of Corol Mitchell. Corol visits her mother, Bonnie, often, and on Mondays when Nazarene Church volun- teer Shirley George cannot call Bingo, Corol stands in. Joining her recently is Karen Clough, who may be put to work for a while, as Shirley won’t be available for a few weeks. David Johnson has been giving freely of his time on Sundays for a few weeks now, since he pro- vides rides on “The Loop” bus to individuals who re- quest rides to their church services. Since Sunday services seem to begin at a variety of times at Hep- pner’s variety of churches, David often makes several trips each Sunday to drop off and pick up Residents. “The Loop” transporta- tion is available for these schedules, local appoint- ments, and out-of-town trips, not just for Terrace Residents. One needs only to call 541-676-5667 for information or to request a ride. Weekly, these men- tioned volunteers and oth- ers come to the Community on the Hill for activities. Katy Anderson plays piano on Tuesdays. The transpor- tation bus comes for Resi- dents who wish to attend the socially engaging lunch at the senior meal site on Wednesdays. Sandra John- son (David’s wife) and Bill Ewing come on Thursdays with a seasonal craft project or a crossword puzzle to solve. On two Fridays each month, St. Patrick’s Catho- lic Church members Mary Anne Elguezabal or Janet Greenup offer Bingo, or the HHS National Honor Soci- ety members call Bingo or lead a craft project. And the local library staff see to the rotation of library books on a monthly basis. All volunteers—regu- lars and occasional—are truly appreciated at Willow Creek Terrace, for they bring additional weekly variety with them. This variety can of- tentimes be in the form of foods and garden donations. Recently, Jack and Joanne Milligan, Charlie and Mar- cia Anderson, the 4-H pro- gram, Sandra Richards, and the Nazarene Church have joined the Odd Fel- lows with such gifts. Many thanks continue to go out to all. May 1-5 will be Teach- er-Appreciation Week. Dis- cussions will surely include many stories of the retired teachers-Residents’ expe- riences, as well as recol- lections of some favorite teachers. May 4 is National Weather Day and could provide a platform for com- plaints and concessions to the benefits of these seem- ingly endless rainy days. Need one say any more about the recent weather? Several Residents appre- ciate checking the out- side thermometer and the weather-station information every day. On Cinco de Mayo, the fifth, lunch will feature some Mexican dishes and decor will be reminiscent of South of the Border. National Nurses Week runs from May 6 to the 12 th , and National Hospice Week falls from May 7 through the 13 th . Grateful Residents and Staff will host lunch during the week for the nurses and home-health staffs. Residents might need to be ready to work on May 10? This will be National Clean Up Your Room Day! Surely the Staff won’t get tough with everyone that day. (Joke.) Two days later, every- one can have some good laughs during the morning discussion because that is designated Limerick Day. Listening to limericks, reciting limericks, trying to create limericks—all should be fun. A special lunch will honor the mothers-Resi- dents on Mothers’ Day, the 14 th , and the Terrace might well be brimming with family members stopping in to thank their mothers for many kindnesses and sacrifices. Everyone will be en- couraged to wear purple on the 16 th , which is Purple for Peace Day. It may also be a day that finds some purple- clad individuals outside admiring the trees at the Terrace and nearby, for that is also Love a Tree Day. Mustang Mop-Up is scheduled for the 18 th , so several HHS students and teachers will be at the Ter- race to provide muscle for a variety of clean-up proj- ects. Everyone on the Hill is always grateful to these hard workers who make the Terrace look spiffier. On May 19, Residents will be invited to participate in the horse-race game that the Terrace sets up before some of the significant races each year. Preakness begins this season of racing on the 20 th , so some fans will be watching, maybe wagering? From the 22 nd to the 29 th will be National Backyard Game Week, so some of the morning activities will involve outside games. Brothers’ ears may be burning and tears may also fill some eyes on May 24, Brothers’ Day, as discus- sion will probably enter- tain with reminiscences of brothers and of being brothers. Memorial Day will be recognized nationally on May 29 this year, so Willow Creek Terrace will see many family members again, as Residents’ thoughts turn to loved ones who have passed and the desire to honor them with visits to the nearby cemetery. And so the month of May will pass, with enough variety to savor each op- portunity for stimulating conversations and enter- taining events. Throw in some special foods - Truffle on the second, Butterscotch Brownies (May 9), Straw- berries and Cream (21 st ), Blueberry Cheesecake (26 th ), and Hamburgers (28 th ), and the view of life on the Hill takes on a nicely balanced something-for- everyone hue in May.
