Dibble Senior Center News December 7 2009

Dibble Senior Citizens News

Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!!

Last week was a zinger, as everyone tries to get a head start on Christmas. Our Christmas Dinner will be on Friday, December 18th, so plan to be there for fun and food.

Big thanks to Loving Care Home Health for their services on Friday!

Remember Jerry Vance as he progresses in the west side of Norman Regional. Also, glad to see Lenora Walkup back on Friday, along with Leon and Roberta Calhoun. As of this writing, no new body parts are pending, as we give Medicare a little break!!!

We have decided our next field trip will be to Guthrie for lunch and a matinee at the Pollard Theater on Saturday, Dec. 19th. The show is called “A Territorial Christmas”, which starts at 2:00 p.m. We will leave the center at 10:30 on Saturday morning, in order to have lunch at Granny’s Territorial Restaurant in downtown Guthrie, then go across the street to the theater. Please sign up by Friday, Dec. 11th, as we have to make reservations.
Come have fun!!! Live on the wild side!!!

Speaking of Medicare, according to the Oklahoma Observer, the federal census experts project a 66.1% increase in Oklahoma’s senior population by 2030. The Baby Boomers are here to stay!! They also say that 1 in 8 Americans are now on Food Stamps and 60% of them have jobs. My dog and cat have even applied for them, as things are getting tough at my house. The times, they are a changin’.

Seems our esteemed potentate Vice President, Dale McAskill, is at it again. Seems he’s come up with a plan to save money on postage by direct mailing his bills, etc., by trained carrier pigeon. He says he’s taught these pigeons to read, thus enabling them to deliver his mail anywhere he wants, thus saving time and postage. This worked fine until recently. Dale won a large sum of money at the casino and, Dale being Dale, just had to brag about it to his brother-in-law, Ira Ray Smith. The problem came when Dale wrote a letter, espousing his good fortune, and sent the news by pigeon. Naturally, Dale picked the dumbest piton in the loft, as this pigeon could only read the first letter of each word in the address. You guessed it…I.R.S. He ain’t right!!!

All for now……………
