As mentioned in previous stories, we have a lunch bunch for the ladies once a month. Usually, it is at a restaurant on the first Tuesday of the month, along with another outing for men that is at Hooters.

This month, the lunch bunch for women had a twist. The group met at Luella Wheeling’s new residence.
Luella used to live at Grand Horizons and recently moved, but her heart still belongs to her friends from her previous community.
I spoke to Joyce Bell, and she was good enough to give me a few of the details.
She told me that the lunch was served buffet-style. The buffet included beef stroganoff and Cajun grouper with broccoli, corn-on-the cob, kale greens, and a huge variety of desserts.
A large group of ladies joined in for this lunch, and while the meal was excellent, they also had a good time, as they then received a tour of the community. It was beautiful. Luella was very happy, rested and well.
All in all, it was a perfect event, hosted by Robbie Lockard.
Grand Horizons had an ice cream social on May 7, and the individuals that hosted this event were Ron and Joyce Bell, Rich and Chris Fulton, Mim and Terry Gardner, and Linda Tutin.
Galen Parker said the prayer, while everyone bowed their heads in silence.
After grace was said, the tables were called so they could get their ice cream.
From what Joyce Bell told me, there were several toppings, including bananas, strawberries, hot fudge, nuts, crushed Oreos, butterscotch, caramel, whipped cream, cherries, pineapple and more.

Along with the ice cream, there was a raffle with a monetary prize. According to Joyce, about 95 people attended. This sounded like a fun activity, and I am sure everyone enjoyed it.
Donna and Bill Quinn hosted the lunch connoisseurs at Piccola Italia on May 12. About 48 people attended, and they definitely did not leave hungry.
We have gone to Piccola’s in the past, and they certainly have a huge variety on the menu. Each time we went, we had a different dish, and each one was delicious. Their lasagna is very good, as well as other dishes the restaurant serves.
