MY HUSBAND
BILL AND I
attended the
chicken dinner
Huntsville
Unitded
Methodist Church
over the
weekend. Our
niece Barb is a
member of the
church so we JOAN
have had the KINGSBURY
pleasure of
occasionally
attending
an activity there. Each time we
have found member of the
congregation to be very friendly and
warm, as is their pastor, Rev.
Harriet Santos.
The dinner was a marvelous treat
as was evident by the number of
people waiting to eat there.
Chicken, pepperhash, homemade
applesaue, mashed potatoes, gravy,
green beans, rolls and homemade
pie were provided for dinner. The
food was delicious.
I always enjoy church dinner
because the food is always good and
the proceeds go for a very good
cause.

IF YOU HAVE A SMALL CHILD
who is having a little problem
adjusting to school, here is a hint
that might be of help. If your child
takes a snack or his lunch, put a
simple message on the napkin.
One mom whose son Mikey is a
student at Trinity Nursery School
drew a heart and put “I love you”
in it. You would be surprised what a
comfort this is to a child. Although
a young child usually can’t read,
they readily learn to recognize this
message.

VOLUNTEERS ARE
INVALUABLE. Without them,
many organizations like fire
companies, ambulance crews could
not function. Volunteers have
played an important part in the
Meadows Nursing Center, Dallas

Recently, a combination auxiliary
office - volunteer lounge was
used during lunch breaks and break
times as well as a center for

THE 73RD ANNUAL REUNION
of the Crispell Family,
Pennsylvania Branch, was held
recently at Dymond’s Grove,

with 11 others, founded the village
of New Paltz, N.Y. Around 1825,
Thomas Crispell and his wife settled

the descendants of this couple who
gather yearly for a reunion at
Dymond’s Grove.

we took a drive to
Eagles Mere to

display. Although |#
it was in the i

direction, again it
was through a lot

pretty.
Lots, log homes

settings - we see
them :
in our dreams, however, we still
haven’t centered in on any one in
particular. We are very open for
suggestions - have any? Give us a

SCOTT DAVIS, a victim of
circumstances again! He was home
from Bloomsburg State for the
weekend, went shopping at
Jamesway and slipped one some
bubble bath that someone spilled in
the aisle. Scott is now wearing a
cast thigh high.
Poor Scott! A couple years ago,
he was on an ambulance call (his
favorite volunteer job) and would
you believe, he got hit by a car and
he was the one in the ambulance.
Cast and all, Scott’s back at Bloom
studying harder than ever. What
else can he do? Get healed fast,
Scott!

WELCOME HOME to the
Groblewski family of DAllas which
just returned from a three week
vacation touring the South. Myrtle

enjoyed. Historic sites in
Williamsburg, Virginia and meeting

of fun.
I heard ‘“‘second hand” that they
had a great trip and are well rested.

I'LL END MY COLUMN this
week with a cutie I heard in church
Sunday morning. OUr pastor was
telling his children’s story and
explaining how an ice cube melts
when you blow on it. Of course there
was a message behind the story. I
won't get into that, but his question
to the children was ‘‘What will
happen to this ice cub if I blow on
it?”’ He answered his own question
with, “It’ll melt, won’t it?”
post hillar add two
The kids all said yes and the past
asked why. One little child said,
‘‘Because you have hot air.”
Since we all love our pastor, we
were all able to laugh and know he
would laugh with us.
It just goes to show how many
ways ‘‘words’’ can be heard. The
same sentence can have 10 different
meanings to 10 different people.
Whey you speak, think - do you have
hot air?
