I Senior Maws
By Jacqueline Ramsay

R a in

That was
an excel
lent movie
- Tyrone
P ow er
and Myr-
na Loy. We have rain again, but
I hope no elephants follow, just
snow in the mountains.
The Christmas Bazaars are
over. The “Senior Moments”
was, again, well received. We
wish to thank the other ladies
who had tables at the center. It
was a busy time, and friendly.
Cozy Tatman won the nativity
set and Carol Davis had the
lucky number for the pansy
quilt.
We have lots of interesting
items in the shop, but you have
to come in and search them
out. Possibly by the time this
article is in print, the Christmas
dinner will be over or it will be
too late to sign up for it, De
cember 20, noon time. If you
missed the baked salmon din
ner, Rosie says the Tuesday/
Thursday gals are fixing the
turkey dinner on the 23rd at
noon. So, come in.
The Senior Center wishes to
let the folks of Vernonia know,
this includes all businesses,
too, that have supported us
with donations, participation, as
well as many many donated
hours, your friendships and
helpful suggestions help to
make us a better member of
the community. Thank you. We
are sorry for the screw-ups in
the delivery of our bread de
partment in November and we
hope it won't show up again.
To our Meals on Wheels
friends and everyone else, en
joy the rain and have a Happy
Christmas. Drive carefully and
I’ll see you in the paper in 2003,
the Lord willing.

“I came to Jennings McCall almost 2 years ago. It was
natural because I had so many Jriends here. I love the
sense o f not being surrounded by anything but sky and
clouds when I look out my window, and I love all the oak
trees. Time goes fast here. There is always something to
do or a good book I need to read. I enjoy the people, the
activities and the lively conversations. I still volunteer at
Valley A rt and play bridge with the same group I ’ve
played with fo r years. We all know everyone
else’s kids. A n d I ’m still active
with my church’s women’s fel
lowship. I ’m sure living at
Jennings McCall was the
right choice and that it
was the right time in
my life to make that
