On Jan. 9, 19 ladies came to Terra’s for a lovely lunch, some gossip and much fun. Rudi Lawson was the hostess, and she picked a nice place with a good menu. One of the day’s specials was lasagna with soup or salad. Joyce told me that many of the ladies went for that dish. It was not only delicious, but all the food is organic. Since it was Mary Lusher’s birthday, Rudi brought along a cupcake and a balloon with a card signed by all who attended. This was presented to Mary, and it sure was a sweet surprise. The service was great and everyone enjoyed their day.
Several days later, on Jan. 12, 47 Grand Horizons residents met for our monthly lunch connoisseurs at Doc’s Pub & Grill for a nice lunch. The menu was quite varied, and there were soups, salads and sandwiches. Some of the favorites were fish and burgers. While waiting for our orders to arrive, we had time to visit and socialize. An employee was nice enough to go on the balcony and take a picture of the entire group that was below. More pictures were taken, and everyone seemed to have a good time. The hosts for this luncheon were Al and Sandy Lindke.
The following day, approximately 40 to 45 people attended an “Open Mic” with gospel songs performed by Freda and Paul Williams. In addition to Paul singing, a trio from Canada also entertained. The name of the group was Shelly & Friends. They also presented Johnny Ellis, who sang some songs. In addition to this, they had about four other singers. We have gone to the “Open Mic” previously and everyone enjoyed it and, I am sure, it was a very good show this time as well.
On Jan. 14, approximately 60 residents attended a potluck in the community center that was hosted by Nancy Huey. According to what Nancy said, everyone had a good time, and there was a wide variety of soups, sandwiches and desserts. The soups definitely hit the spot on a cool (or should I say COLD) day.
