NINE - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 5, 2023 A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan Maybe in more than one way, April is not viewed the same way as it was several years ago. No pranks were pulled at Willow Creek Terrace on April Fools’ Day this year, such a change from those days that Velma Wight so delighted in as soon as she started planning her high jinxes on those mornings! The month’s weath- er has been pretty tricky, though, unpredictable from hour to hour on some days. However, Alex Camarillo and Jerry Green are finding spaces between rain/hail/ snow showers to start work cleaning the flowerbeds, and some of the women are making plans for the flow- erpots that will hopefully be a cacophony of colors soon. The color green was significant last month, in honor of the Irish and the “Irish-for-a-day” individu- als. A 4-H club had come to the Community on the Hill with St. Patrick’s cards for all residents and staff. The residents had enjoyed their Friday-craft opportunity in March that resulted in lam- inated bookmarks, which will surely be used often. And six residents added to their St. Pat’s celebration by traveling in the van to watch the Great Green Pa- rade downtown: Dorothy and Jerry Green, Flossie Watkins, Ginger O’Brien, Sandy Hanna and Alex Ca- marillo. Ginger and Sandy were joined on the last day of March by Rita Bowman and Bev Sherman for a mani/pedi party with Molly, who even added some bling to their polished nails! The first celebration in April belongs to Joyce Ward. Joyce will celebrate her 92 nd birthday tomorrow! She will have the pleasure of choosing her birthday lunch menu and sharing with her neighbors and some family. Though April’s weather will remain too unpredict- able for outside activities, residents don’t have to feel bored if they participate in the weekly in-house events. Jigsaw puzzles are back, after the hiatus caused by the pandemic, and the group effort has already completed three in a short time. The Friday craft opportunity contin- ues, with an Easter theme this month. And the Bingo crowd sometimes swells to an almost-full house of participants. Last Friday, with 12 playing, Rita Bow- man and Ginger each won a blackout game, the sec- ond time for each of these ladies. The class for under- standing, dealing with and sharing grief continues on Wednesdays, led by home health and hospice pastor, Jerry Conklin. Conklin will offer an Easter service in the sun room this Sunday, a first at the Terrace, for any- one wishing to attend. Of course, the menu for lunch on Sunday will be an Easter feast with all the trimmings. Administrator Leanne Lankford has compliment- ed Derek Swanson on the delicious meals being served. And Molly Turrell reports that residents really enjoyed the treats that Anna Grace Wenberg has created in the kitchen during her night-shift hours. Lankford also offers accolades to the Terrace Staff for their stellar work in these past several weeks. She reports that staff shortages have resulted in longer hours and more work for everyone, and she is so thankful for their willingness to go beyond expectations. Applications for employment at the Terrace are available to individuals who come to the office and from the Terrace website and Facebook page.
