Dibble Senior Citizens News
Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!! - by Eddie Cantrell
I would like to catch that groundhog and make him into sausage next year; maybe we wouldn’t have to worry about long winters any more! I’m ready for spring!
Last week was fun, with a good truck from Regional Food Bank in OKC. Big thanks to the Bag Ladies and the Soup Team for stepping up. The soup team made about 90 containers of soup for folks in need.
Remember our sick and injured, as many have issues. Robert Noisy is recovering from a stroke and Leon and Roberta Calhoun are recovering from ailments, along with Lenora Walkup. Charlotte Offholter will get some new knees this month, in order to get ready for the Summer Olympics. Get well soon!!
Big thanks to Johnson Controls in OKC for the stripers they caught at their tournament and donated to the seniors. We really enjoyed them!
Friday night, 10 seniors went to hear “Conversations with Will Rogers”. History teaches us that we never learn from history, as witnessed by Will!
Remember, Pay Back Day is Tuesday, May 14th, at Regional Food Bank.
Things may be looking up for some kind of National Health Care for seniors and others, as our elected folks are, at last, maybe, going to do something. I don’t see what the big deal is. We have a national postal service, national road programs, fire, police, mandatory auto insurance, etc. Other countries have public health plans, so why don’t we? According to the “Oklahoma Observer”, the newly written constitution in Iraq has, guess what, a provision and statement for the people of Iraq to have access to public health care. It seems strange to me, as the U.S. surely helped them to write their constitution. Maybe there is no for-profit insurance companies or health care industry lobbyists in Iraq?
Oh, well, let’s not ponder such weighty issues, as we are all happy and comfortable here and looking forward to a green and prosperous spring season. Seems everything in America is “going green” these days! Our hallowed Vice President, Dale McAskill, says I’m getting a head start on everybody, as my teeth are already green! He ain’t right!
All for now……………………..
