A celebration of love, and food

Forty-eight residents took part in the Feb. 12 lunch connoisseurs’ outing to Yamato Japanese Steakhouse hosted by Sam and Pat Allen. The people who attended not only received a great meal but were treated to a show by the chefs. Each individual section of the table of approximately 11 people had their meals prepared in front of them by a Japanese chef with great flair. The way the vegetables, chicken, meat and more were cut up created a picture that was beyond words. Our chef was absolutely fabulous and kept the conversation going on what he was doing and when to get ready for a “Kodak” moment.

Valentine’s Day was celebrated on Feb. 14 in the community center.  Chris and Jerry Buckley, and Pidge and Bill Elliott were hosts for this lovely occasion. There were approximately 65 people in attendance. The social club provided the meat and everyone else brought a dish. There were several salads, such as tossed salad, macaroni, potato and several others. Included in the dishes there was a vegetable lasagna, scalloped potatoes and more. There were several desserts that were available, and a person could have trouble deciding. In addition to the hosts of the evening, there were several helpers, and they consisted of Robbie Lockard, Rae Rice, Tita Mauk and Don Mattos. Happy Valentine’s Day balloons were at each table with a beautiful centerpiece. Before any table was called to get their food, a blessing was given by Fred Sage. The TV was playing music for dancing if anyone so desired. Everyone who attended had a great time.
