September 17 - The month is about out the window by the time this column is read. Staff are busy getting the facility into the fall look as Sunday will be the fi rst day of autumn. Coming up next week will be a new activity. Liz, with the help of the residents, is going to bake some fall goodies in the din-ing room. The general store will be open Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. Some residents will get to partici-pate in the Raider homecoming pa-rade and others will get to watch. Condolences go out to Chet Mu-nyon and his family on the recent death of his wife, Norma Munyon. Norma was a special resident who always had a smile. She will be missed by all staff and residents. Congratulations to Audrie and Jake Hubbard on the birth of their new baby boy, Colton Lee. Colton was born Sept. 7 at 10:44 a.m. at Greater Regional Medical Center. He weighed nine pounds, seven ounces. Colton is welcomed home by big brother Caleb and big sister Kylie. Audrie brought baby Colton in to visit last Friday. Many got a chance to hold him. It was the monthly trip to the Ringgold County Senior Center Monday. A good group of residents enjoyed taking the trolley uptown to visit others from the community. Several residents stayed outside to enjoy the weather before and after lunch. In the afternoon Liz prepared for country school. They took a trip to California, learned some special things about Califor-nia and also looked up some places of interest on the internet during the class. Liz and Pattie made home-made cinnamon raisin biscuits for coffee club Tuesday. They were served with a fresh frosting glaze while they were hot. Lisa prepared for music in the morning.

Kathi started Thursday out with reading the Mount Ayr Record-News and Diagonal Progress to a large group of residents. After that they all headed to the general store where Sommer was manag-ing. Buster Harrelson was in to sing and play the guitar. However, Buster and his wife are moving to Florida and will no longer en-tertain at Clearview. Any musical groups that are willing to entertain are asked to call Liz Schafer at 464-2240. Friday morning Lisa and Liz were in the groove early. The south lobby was packed full of residents participating in a rhythm band. They had shakers to make noise with and work their muscles. All the extra help from staff was great-ly appreciated. Following the mu-sic, Liz pulled out the Play Doh. A few were out to mold something and others rolled out the dough and cut out things. Liz made some Oreo cookies and Chip Ahoy cook-ies. Lisa played for the unit for

them to join in with a sing-along. In the afternoon residents played bingo. Winners were Vera Daugh-ton, Anita Hayworth, Anna Linkey, Gerata Scott, Roxie Trullinger and Iris Osborn.

The trip is scheduled for this Friday afternoon with departure at 12:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24, residents will enjoy the company of their friends from Ringgold County Supportive Services who will arrive at 2 p.m. It is always nice to get out for a change and several residents did just that over the past weekend.

Congratulations to Brad and Alysha England as they were mar-ried recently. Alysha is one of the nurses and everyone wishes her the best as she begins a new chapter in her life. All enjoyed watching a DVD of Brad and Alysha from the time they were babies, through their growing up years and on to their engagement right up to their wedding day. Residents listened to stories from a book borrowed from Ruth Angus about old days in Iowa. Several Ringgold county residents have stories in this book including Ruth. They hope to borrow this book again and read more inter-esting true stories from Iowa resi-dents. Pastor Seth Denny came this past week for Bible study where a large group enjoyed his lesson.

September 17 - Sunday there was a birthday party in the after-noon for the Bells’ great-grandson, Jace. He is two years old. The party was at his grandma, Marcy’s house with a John Deere theme. He is crazy about tractors and trucks and no matter how much he is given “green” tractors, he likes red ones just as much. He had a fun day and it was fun to watch him. Bible study was held in the church Monday morning and Linda heard that Kyle Grindstaff’s condi-tion has improved. He can talk and move his fi ngers and toes, but he has a lot of broken bones. Word was received that Mary Lou England is getting along okay. She is sure missed at Bible study. Thursday Linda worked at the school for a few hours and met a new little girl. She’s a sweetheart and her name is Genesis. Linda has always enjoyed coloring with her grandchildren and this gives her a chance to do that again. It relieves stress ... try it! Friday Linda met the girls for coffee at the store but only Joyce, Vaunciel and Jeannie Jean were there. Everyone else had things go-ing on. It’s Jeannie Jean’s birthday Monday. She’s always so good to get everybody a card and little gift. Linda needs to be sure to remember her. This week coming up in Clear-fi eld - UMW meets Wednesday morning and Lions meet Thursday with Jim Blessman as the speaker and Jim Werner cooking prime rib for the group. Closing this week with: I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. From the coffee table, Linda B.
