The season is starting once again and volunteers at Grand Horizons help keep everyone active, with fun things to do.
As summer has ended and fall is here again, attendance at Grand Horizons increases every month.
Nancy Huey put on a pot luck on Oct. 1.
The pot lucks have been happening for several months and residents certainly look forward to them.
About 60 people attended the pot luck, Nancy said, and she noted the community has many good cooks.
Each couple brought a dish to share and from what Nancy said, “There was so much good food that it was impossible to try everything.”
This is a new activity and people really like the fact that everyone joins together at the community center for good food, laughter and lots of fun.
The ladies held Lunch Bunch on Oct. 3 at “The Great Catch Restaurant.”
Again, I wasn’t here for this lunch but I have been to restaurant before and know they have a varied menu, including lobster rolls, mahi mahi (dolphin), salads and more tempting dishes.
At this get-together, there were 16 women who had a lovely lunch at this restaurant. Mim Gardner organized the event.
They all had a real good time talking and eating. More people would have been there, if the weather had cooperated. It kept raining, off and on.
Another activity is dominoes, which is held each Monday night.
This is a real fun game and it keeps all players on their toes.
When I am in Florida, this is one game that I do not want to miss.
We also have other games that are fun and, with the volunteers, these games are covered nicely.
Other games include pinochle, bingo, euchre, mah jongg and rummikub.
We also have pool exercises, arts and crafts, sewing and so on.
These all sound interesting and someday I may join. We also have some shows and other entertainment that give us activities to look forward to.
As I sit here recalling all of the good times that we have at Grand Horizons, I am really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
