I didn’t want to talk about ”it” again. I was hoping it would just go away or at least stay away from the Panhandle. But it’s getting closer, and “it” is determined to make our lives even crazier.

Here at OCSCA we have toilet paper. I’m wondering after typing that if I should lock it up now? I’ll keep my eye on you little senior citizens coming out of the restroom.

Seriously though, we want to take every precaution necessary to keep our members safe. Next week we’ll be open for lunches, but they’ll be curbside service only. Pull up to the door under the covered drive. Do not get out of your car. ASAP someone will run it out to you.

Carry-out orders must be called in before 10:30 a.m. On Wednesday of last week we served 22 carry-outs, and I expect that number to continue to grow. So calling early is a must.

The Jennie June Club met March 11 at Perry Memorial Library. Hostesses for the meeting were Janelle Cochran, Arlene Boxwell and Linda Paul.

The program on dolls was given by Emma Eldridge of Hardesty, OK, who was featured in an article, “Dollhouse on the Prairie” in the January 2016 issue of Oklahoma Living.

She has an extensive collection of around 500 dolls she has collected for the last 15-20 years. They are housed in two buildings on her property, a renovated chicken coop belonging to her grandparents and a storage building.

Eldridge gave a brief history of dolls, noting that dolls date back to ancient Greece and Rome. In America, dolls were important to children as families crossed the plains to new homes on the frontier.
