A View from the Hill
By Doris Brosnan
The writer of this col-
umn views the ribbing re-
cently received as deserved
and actually mild compared
to what one might expect
after having omitted a most
important event at Willow
Creek Terrace earlier this
month: Hard to believe
that information about RG
Watkins’s birthday was
not in the last article. 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.
