Do you remember the heart ache I felt when my mother-in-law, Kathy Allred, won the 50/50 game, and she wasn’t present to win? Well multiply that by a million to understand the pain that shot through me when Lizzy’s name was drawn. How could I possibly explain to my five year old granddaughter that she couldn’t have the prize?? So I did what any Gal would do: tell her parents, via text, and allow them to deal with it.
Chicken yes, smart maybe a little. I bet she doesn’t let them skip 50/50 lunch any more. How will she know when it is, you ask? Gal will remind her of course. No pressure Kyla and Tate. For insurance purposes, in case she doesn’t win again, I always keep ice cream sandwiches on hand to ease her pain. So now, all of the $$ goes back into the pot, all of the names have been trashed, and we start over again.
Texas Home Health, aka Accolade, will be at the center on Oct. 7. They will be checking blood pressure and oxygen level.
This month is our Annual Board Meeting/Member Appreciation Dinner. The meal is free to our beloved members only. The menu has yet to be decided, but I’m sure our board will not disappoint. Join us on Oct. 22 beginning at 6 p.m.
On Oct. 28’s Wednesday meal, we will be dressing up for Halloween. I know I can count on the Queen’s table to help me out. Geraldine Bentley, Evelyn Day and Bonnie Schaef may actually enjoy this day as much as I do. I hope they are already making plans for their theme this year. I’m going to need a spy to find out what it is. I cannot and will not let them out do me. Keep your ears open people. There’s an ice cream sandwich in it for ya.
