Monday mornings seem to be turning up pretty messy lately. No exceptions here on "The Ridge". Folks are pretty much staying put.
Residents here are saddened at the passing of their friend and neighbor, Mable DeBruin over the weekend. Everyone offers condolences to Mable's family. She will be sorely missed.
There was a small attendance at Coffee Hour on Thursday. Many here have been ill or they have had appointments. Those who were there enjoyed the social time, however, and I'm sure attendance will pick up soon as folks are feeling better.
On Sunday, LaVonne McNett said she attended a surprise birthday party for Robert Fulmer. LaVonne said that the well attended party was hosted by his family and held at the Roaring Branch Methodist Church.
On Friday, LaVonne joined other breakfast club members for breakfast at Moose's Munchies in Troy. LaVonne commented that they usually meet at a member's home for a while afterward for a game of cards.
Pauline Watts said this morning that she wouldn't mind being in Arizona, where it is sunny and 60 degrees today. I'm sure she would miss us here on "The Ridge."
Irma Earley reported another quiet week. She did have lunch at the Iron Skillet in Sylvania with her daughter, Maxine and Dave Shedden after church services on Sunday.
Kathy Temple attended a Blue and Gold Banquet at the Canton Moose this week, where six Cub Scouts crossed over to be Boy Scouts. Kathy said there was a sizable crowd there for the ceremony as the boys were rewarded for their hard work. Congratulations to them.
On Friday, Jessie Herman said that her nephew Jim Graham came to see her and they talked and reminisced about the "good old days."
