There was a bit slower pace in activities last week. My guess for this would be the weather.
On Monday evening, the euchre champs were Nance Scott and Jack Massoll. Four men braved the cold morning weather to play shuffleboard. There was no three-game winner.

For many, the highlight of the week is playing bingo Wednesday evening. The doors open at 5 p.m., with the early bird games beginning at 6:30 p.m. Come out and give this a try. Mary Kay Lynch and Paula Beck chair this activity and are there to help make it a fun evening for all who attend. Hotdogs, popcorn and soda are available for those who come hungry.
The Thursday morning coffee hour hosts were Earl and Lois Sprague, with Ed and Hazel Littlefield. There were 134 residents in attendance. Tom Clevenger gave the invocation. Richard Burgess led the Pledge of Allegiance and moderated the conversation. Those in sick bay included Deannie Bennett, Deann Harrington, Doug Ripley and Richard Tolman. We were glad to see Ginny Zepp in attendance, with guests Harry Krayer III and his twin sister, Judith Bliss. Ed and Hazel Littlefield had guests Elmer and Bea Littlefield. Don Liddy was there with his wife’s daughter, Brenda. Several new residents were welcomed.
Ladies, remember to take your favorite recipes to Dea-Ann Burgess or Deannie Bennett. Dea-ann and Deannie will organize the recipes, which will be used to create a Gem Estates cookbook.
Our next entertainment will be Spitting Image, brothers who perform music and comedy, on Feb. 12. Lee Heffelfinger, our entertainment organizer, promises these twins from Ohio will provide us with a very pleasant evening.
Also coming up is a baked bean supper on Feb. 13.
