On Feb. 13, about 60 residents showed up at Shells to enjoy a lovely lunch. There was so much conversing going on as the company was delightful. The waitresses were very nice and explained things if we needed to know. There were several cars, and while some people went directly back home after a big meal, a few others went shopping.

Almost 100 residents were at the community center for a sweetheart dance on Feb. 14. Gary Wilcox was the disc jockey, and from what I was told, he outdid himself. He varied the music being played and took dedications.
Before the dance, he put a paper in the community center for people to write down their dedications, and he tried really hard to accommodate all. Gary also took requests where someone would ask for a favorite song. He definitely kept the dance floor full of dancers. He did a splendid job.
There were ballots for king and queen, and Rich and Jean Lydecker won the honor.
The dance was hosted by Cheryl Leone, and she did a fine job. Our thanks go out to her.
On Feb. 18, in addition to a fun game of shuffleboard in the morning, we had a writing group at Nancy Lay’s house. We didn’t have one for quite some time because of the summer months and the fact that the holiday season kept us busy.
It is a small group, but all of us are interested in writing. Here we read what we wrote from a prompt that was given to us previously, and we picked a prompt for the next month.
I look forward to these meetings, as we all enjoy writing, and we mention some other thoughts that may have occurred to us on the subject.
