Dibble Seniors High on the Hog!

Dibble Senior Citizens News

Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!!

Wow, what a show! On Thursday the 18th, 29 Dibble Seniors travelled to Western Sizzlin’s hog line in Chickasha and pigged out, then went on a trip back to high school with Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. I have never observed so many Baby-Boomer bald heads and gray hair, jamming with every note. It was a sea of FM Radio oldies but goodies, as we were all 17 again and driving our lowered 55 Chevys and going to the drive-in movies, listening to the radio during intermission. Baby Boomers will never die!!

Remember our sick and injured, as Charlotte Offholter is looking at new knees. Seniors are the reason the plastics market is booming! Remember Robert Noisey, Leon and Roberta Calhoun, Betty Vaughn, Lenora Walkup and others who are struggling right now.

It looks like health care for seniors and others is going the way of NAFTA reform, card checks and lawyer reform. I wouldn’t be surprised if Carrie Underwood got sued for singing “Jesus, Take the Wheel” after somebody hit a tree after hearing it! Seems real reform on senior issues is as likely as Madonna being on “Big Joe’s Polka Show” or the “Lawrence Welk Show”!!

Oh, well, you’re born, you work, you eat, you sleep, you die!! NAH!!!!

All for now……………………..

Greetings to the seniors of the Dibble Community!

Dibble Seniors are recovering from bad weather and temperaments are better. You could tell who had electricity and who did not by the expression on their faces and the grease in their hair. A nice, hot shower does wonders for one’s personality. Even Dale seems to smell better!!

Remember our sick list, as Leon Calhoun is recovering, along with Lenora Walkup, Robert Noisey and others.

Our food pantry is very scant as we did not get a truck from Regional Food Bank last Thursday, due to scheduling problems. Hopefully, this week will be better.

Remember our events for February. Friday, February 12th at 6:30 p.m. is the Valentine’s Spaghetti Dinner/Fund Raiser for Carol Brown, in memory of Donnie. $20.00 per couple. Featured band will be Eddie and the Bruisers, with Elvis Presley and Mickey Gilley!!! February 18th is the field trip to “Rock and Roll Heaven” at 5:30 p.m.

BREAKING NEWS….
Folks, this is bigger than the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, bigger than Woodstock, bigger than Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech, bigger than the fall of the Berlin Wall, bigger than “One small step for man, a giant step for mankind”! In a press release duly authenticated by 3 Elvis experts on 3rd shift at the Waffle House, it was revealed that Elvis Presley did, in fact, write one last song!! In the back yard at Graceland, the Presley estate, at the base of Elvis’ favorite avocado tree, a time capsule was discovered!! In this time capsule was a mayonnaise jar containing the last song ever written by Elvis, entitled “Valentine to Priscilla”. Also included were precise written instructions that this musical masterpiece was to be heard in his 75th year. To this end, Eddie and the Bruisers, almost nationally known band at Dibble Senior Citizens, have been honorably commissioned to perform at the Valentine Dinner.

As you know, Elvis was treated very badly by wife Priscilla, as she ran off with a karate instructor, an act from which Elvis never fully recovered. It became clear that Presilly no longer cared for Elvis, but she sure liked his money!

If you want to know what Elvis has to say to Priscilla as a “Senior Citizen”, all you have to do is show up at our Valentine’s Dinner/Dance Friday night. If you miss this event, you may never get the chance again!! Be there or be square!!

All for now……………
