A community yard sale was held on March 17 at the community center of Grand Horizons, as well as some individual houses.
This is the time of year that several people look forward to, as they may be able to find certain hard-to-find items either at one of the many homes or in the community center.
There were several houses that had sales, and you could find items such as shorts, books, housewares and much more.
You could also find a big variety of items at the community center. Here, there were shoes, slippers, games and more.
In the community center, they also had a book sale that was headed by Linda Tutin and many helpers. There was a bake sale that was headed by Mim Gardner, where you could purchase cupcakes, peanut butter, mini-pies of several different flavors, cookies and other goodies. In addition to these sales, Chuck Carlson and Ron Bell made their famous hot dogs and fries. I never got to try one of them, but I heard they were delicious,
On Monday, March 19, we had our weekly game of dominoes. This is a fast game that keeps you on your toes.
There was an unusually large crowd of domino players, and we had approximately six or seven tables, with several people at each table.
Friendly banter went back and forth among the players at the same table, and you could hear comments like, “I’ve got a small train” or “You knocked my train off its course” and several other remarks.
We have fun with this weekly game, and it is a good opportunity to socialize with others.
