A Ladies Lunch Bunch was held July 11 at the Sunrise Eatery. Even though it was in the midst of the summer months, there still were 11 women who attended and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
My husband and I have gone to the Sunrise Eatery several times before, and they have an extensive menu with something for everyone. The staff is delightful and happy to help if you if you have a question.
The restaurant supplied two orders of appetizers for the group as a thank you for attending. From what Pat McKain told me, there were enough appetizers for every woman to have some.
Our thanks go to Pat for organizing this luncheon, and I look forward to it being one of the restaurants that we go to when I return.
During the month, Grand Horizons had other functions and several get-togethers in the community center, including the coffee/doughnut hour that is held every Wednesday morning. I understand from talking to Sandy Lindke that the turnouts were quite large for coffee and doughnuts.
At the event, you can get the news of the latest happenings, and hear the birthdays and anniversaries that are coming up the following week, over a nice warm cup of coffee.
There are also card games that people like to join in on, as they are not only fun, but the people are cooler in the community center.
I realize several of the activities are put on hold during the summer, but Grand Horizons still keeps everyone busy with different functions, such as the ice cream and cake that was at the community center hosted by Barb Holmes and Sandy Lindke.
Sandy gave me the following news that the party was on Aug. 5, and since this was a double birthday celebration, 46 residents were treated to cake and ice cream.
The cake was cupcakes made to look like a sheet cake, and decorated in shades of blue and white.
As Sandy went on to mention, since she and Barb were both turning 79, it was a big practice for the following year when they will be 80.
Way to go Sandy and Barb, and we all wish you the best!
Besides the fact that ice cream is pure heaven on a hot and humid day, quite a few stayed in the cool community center to visit and entertain each other telling stories. Everyone had a very pleasant time.
