A Gala Affair To Bless A True Friend

Sunday afternoon there was a gala affair in the Legion Hall, as Dorothy Straub and Shirley Metzger hosted a party for Cathy Wiseman. I can't say it was a retirement party, for Cathy is not one to really retire, but when she gets to feeling better, as we all are praying for, I'm sure she will only "re--tire to keep going."

The hall was full of well-wishers, showing just how many friends this little lady has, each one loving her in return for her ever love and care.

Shirley read some verses she had written, telling of the time since she moved to Arkansas and met Cathy. It was fun, and all true.

I'm sure that each one attending the event feels as I do, may she forever be blessed as she has always blessed others by her giving and caring ways, and just being Cathy!

The ladies met for the recipe exchange at the library, Monday afternoon. This is always fun, comparing and exchanging recipes, and sometimes telling of their history. The next meeting is Aug. 14, and as usual we will come home with a new one to try.

Now, some humor. Two elderly men were sunning themselves in Palm Springs when they started a friendly conversation. "I was able to move here and retire after my business burned to the ground," one man said. "The insurance payment sure came in handy."

The other replied, "I'm here living on an insurance payment from when my factory was flooded out."

The first man pondered for a few seconds and then asked, "How do you start a flood?"

Happy birthday to: Joyce Snodgrass, Amy Love, Effie Fulnechek, Garrett Bush, Kenneth Davis, Gary Morris, Jimmy King, Tara Stathakis, Vernon Yeager, McKenzie Pretty and Easton Pretty (twins), Millard Matthews, Daniel Bradly.
