After a long winter being spent in our Connecticut home, we came back to Grand Horizons with the many activities.
On Oct. 28, we attended a potluck that at our community center, which was hosted by Nancy Huey. It was well-attended, and 87 residents enjoyed a variety of dishes and many desserts. There were such dishes as lasagna, salads, vegetables and much more; and, a great deal of desserts, such as cupcakes, cookies, cake, s’mores and several others.
Before the tables were called to get in line to get food, Jim Leitzke said grace, while everyone bowed their heads in silence.
The meal was excellent, and everyone got together to socialize. Nancy Huey and a crew did the cleanup.
This marked the end of the potluck and some people left to go to their homes, while others stayed at the community center to play a new game.
The new game was a horse race, and it was simply adorable and loads of fun.
There were several horses (made out of wood) and a jockey was picked for each horse. It was up to the individual jockey to advance the number of spots that were indicated by the person calling from the cards that were picked.
It was quite funny, as you could hear remarks as, “I got a real slow horse,” “Come on speedy” or “I am so close to the finish line, and I think I will win.”
