"Dont blow your fingers off as it will hurt real bad!!"


DIBBLE SENIOR CITIZEN
Greetings to the seniors of the Dibble Community!!

Summer is here and it is hot!! Bill Harmon got so hot while plowing that he cooked his bacon and eggs on top of his head so he could save propane. That’s hot!!

Our quilting rack is in place with the ladies first attempt in place. Melba Cash is leading the way in this effort. Big thanks to her.

Dale McAskill will be out mostly for the next two weeks as he is selling fireworks in Blanchard again this year. His advice this year, don’t blow your fingers off as it will hurt real bad!!

Remember Tuesday, August 10th as payback day at the Regional Food Bank. We will leave after lunch in the van.

Our thoughts are with the family of Butch Roath this week with the loss of Sharon, his wife.

Our sick list is improving with the improvement of Lenora Walkup and Charlotte Offolter and Mary Thompson is improving after shoulder surgery.

We know that the unemployed are having a tough time right now but there is a bright spot. They are hiring one legged waitresses again down at the I-Hop!! Get down there before somebody else does??!

WE WILL BE CLOSED ON JULY 5TH, MONDAY, TO EXTEND THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. HAVE A HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

All for now…….



MENU:

MONDAY…….Spaghetti

TUESDAY…..Country Breakfast

WEDNESDAY…..Swiss Steak

Quilting Rack in operation at Dibble!


DIBBLE SENIOR CITIZENS


Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!

Well it is here…our quilting rack is in operation as Melba Cash and Charlotte Offolter attempt to get it all started. Big thanks to them.

Our sick list continues with new ailments sprouting up. I have learned Louise Montgomery has been ill with heart issues again. Mary Thompson had rotator cuff surgery. No more roller-derby for her!!

Last Saturday saw a good show at the Murray Mansion in Erin Springs. Also a good BBQ supper was served. Visit the mansion some time!!

Remember pay back time Tuesday, August 10th at the Regional Food Bank. We will leave from the center after lunch.

How do you know when you are old? You remember when it took 3 minutes for the TV to warm up. Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes, or towels hidden in the box. Everyone saved S&H Green Stamps from the grocery store. Your Mom’s nylon stockings came in two pieces. Oh how times have changed.

Shortly my wife and I are going to use our Christmas gift certificate to Red Lobster and get a shrimp feast while the getting is still good. Appears next years shrimp feast will be “shrimp with crude oil gravy”. Yum!!! Maybe this mess will finally give us the will to change our wants to our needs. Old people have always known you can’t have your cake and eat it too! It is time these younger folks see the light!! Now it appears they have no choice. Save electricity, turn the volume way down low and put your ear to the radio. It costs less that way!!

All for now…

MENU:

MONDAY….Spaghetti with meat sauce

TUESDAY…. Country Breakfast

WEDNESDAY… Beef Stew

THURSDAY… FOOD BANK TRUCK AND BUFFET

FRIDAY…Catfish (Fresh water not ocean!)
