We at the center are enjoying a little silence for a while. Seems we have been very busy!
The Over 80s Party was very well attended and soooo much fun. The men in their top hats and lovely ladies with their rings and necklaces were a sight to behold. The dollar store guaranteed that the necklaces were sterling silver with genuine rubies and sapphires. Pretty good at the cost of three for a buck! I think the only thing missing was dance music. Which brings me to the next topic.
This Friday (June 6) is dance day. We will be treated to another enjoyable day of toe-tapping and musical genius of Albert Ames. I look forward to this a lot.
As one drives the roads of the valley, the profusion of color everywhere strikes the senses. What a wonder to behold is our wonderful valley! I am making rhubarb jam and love it immensely. Soft-boil five cups rhubarb with three cups sugar for 10 minutes. Stir in either strawberry, raspberry or cherry Jell-O and freeze when cool. I even added chopped almonds to one batch. Thanks to Janet Shannon for sharing the rhubarb with me. Yum.
I don’t have the results of bingo games this past Monday. Remember, we have bingo the first Monday and third Thursday of each month. Join us.
Our condolences to Margaret Rosenstine on her mother’s passing. Even when one knows this is imminent, it is still difficult. We love you Margaret and are there if you need anything!
If you have not heard about the buy-a-brick program being offered by the Community Center outside our door, do look into it. Bricks will bear the name or occasion of the buyer’s choice. Such a nice memorial to a loved one or way to commemorate for all time a cherished anniversary, etc.
