Dibble Senior Citizens News

Dibble Senior Citizens News

Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!!

Last week was a big hit, with two major events taking place!! On Tuesday, 17 folks loaded up from the Center and went to Regional Food Bank for our quarterly Pay Back Day. I never want to see cauliflower again in my life!! I don’t like cauliflower and I don’t like anyone who does. We suited up and bagged almost 3,000 pounds of the frozen vegetables, representing 2,954 plate portions. It was all fun in the end, but we did miss “Happy Hour” at Sonic afterwards. We’ll get ‘em next time!

Later, on Thursday, 20 folks journeyed to Chickasha for Roy’s Barbeque and the Plummer Family show from Branson, Missouri. All had fun, although Melba Cash was inspired to take up yodeling. Please!!! Also, we got enough of Betty Vaughn singing “Stand By Your Man”!!

Remember our sick list and those in poor health. Remember next Friday is our Thanksgiving dinner and that we will be closed the whole next week.

I would hate to be in the shoes of our national leaders right now, considering the momentous decisions they are facing, especially concerning seniors. It is hard for seniors to determine who is right and who is wrong on such weighty issues. Some say our president is a hot dog and should do what folks with more experience tell him to do. We got that last time!!! As a senior, I think I would tell him not to be afraid to try something new. After all, it was a rank amateur that built the Ark. A group of professionals built the Titanic!! As a senior, I would also tell him at this pivotal point in history, do not under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and Ex-Lax on the same night…you have enough problems!!!

All for now………………….
