Grandmama

As of noon today we now have grandmama back

here in the Village.

She is doing quite well but will have to be very

careful with her activities.

We now have another miracle to celebrate as

she will be with us for sometime yet.

For the time being she will be staying at

A19 until such time that she can stay by

herself. I will keep her here as long as she

will let me. heehee.

We want to express our deepest thanks for

all the prayers and inquires that everyone has put

in for our wonderful Grandmama.

May God bless each and everyone of you...

I will take this time to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. I know this is the time that we all find something that we are thankful for.
Our family is thankful for all the wonderful friends that we have in our beautiful Village.
Please take a moment and look around at the many blessings that are bestowed up on you.
Tomorrow doesn't need to be the only day of the year to be thankful for but it is a special one.
Good luck with your day and enjoy your turkey.

Grandmama

Sorry I have been unable to report to much on Mom's condition. This morning they will be doing more surgery to repair some of the damage that has been done to the heart. She is holding up well as her family refuses to let her do otherwise.
Perhaps tomorrow there will be some better news.
We thank you all for your prayers as we know that is what is keeping her going.

God Bless you all,

Thanks Diane for keeping us informed.......

In case you've

Missed seeing several of our "clan" McC around.... Grandmama Nettie is in the hospital - accompanied by her ever-loyal family. As of this morning news had it that she is being prepared for a catherization.

Nettie is in great spirits and doing better than most expected and I'm sure we will see her pedaling around the Village again soon.

We've missed Barb's updates on activities but if you will let me know the scores and any other news to update - I will try to fill those giant shoes of hers hehee!!

New Thanksgiving

How about a different kind of Thanksgiving?

Thanks to Robin and Beth for letting us know

that the Scottish have a

colorful Thanksgiving.

We sure can have some fun with our

wonderful holiday.

Sad News today

I was just informed of the passing of a dear old friend
who has been a long time resident in our Village.
William Roberts, age 82 left us with many memories
and a lovely wife Florence. They have resided at #6
for many years.
He had been ill for a short time.
Bill, to many who knew him, was always working around
his beautiful yard and you could see him riding his bike
around our park.
Bill leaves us a wonderful family and you know very well
his son Jeff. Jeff and Joyce live close by his mother and they
have helped us with so many functions.
There are also 3 other sons who will be here to comfort the
family.
Services will not be held here but up North with the rest of
his family.
Florence will be around for a while so anyone can stop by
and tell her something wonderful that you remember about
her sweetheart.
Our hearts and prayers go out to this special family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My thanks to Barb E. for letting us know what had happened.

Thanksgiving helpful hint

Just a quick note on the up coming Holiday.
~~~
Keep in mind your family during this up coming
holiday. I know I will....

We will all be in touch this week and will be
giving more helpful hints if needed.

The most wasted day is that in which we
have not laughed.

Ron's home

Ron S. is now home from the hospital.
~~~
Things are going well with Ron and
we can expect him out on his
scooter anytime.
With all the extra air that he is taking in
he will be jumping around the
Village any moment now.
~~~
It is so good to see him moving around
with ease once again.

Happiness comes through doors you didn't even

know you left open.

Bocci Games

The Boccie courts have recently been resurfaced with new material.

Anyone interested in playing

this fun and exciting game????

The social club and the R.O. bought a dump truck load of ancient seabed sand and several players and non players worked together to complete the project.

Pet & Peg D, Co-chair persons of the Boccie program wish to thank the following:

Robin V, Bo A, Jim M, Bob C, Will K, John G. Rick D, John C and Ray M.

Without your help this would not have possible.

~~~

Fun Boccie is now played every Tuesday right after the 9:00 am coffee.

Team Competition will begin after the holidays.

~~

Even if you don't wish to play, they really enjoy having everyone come and cheer them on.

Great exercise...

~~~~

Go get them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Hatters

Your Queen Mother Peg D. held her court on Thursday with wonderful ideas coming in the future.
They will be competing in a city wide competition with other chapters and need to create a centerpiece to be auctioned off next month. I understand that Debbie C. has volunteered her creative services. Way to go Deb. I know it will be the best.
Historian, Nettie N. will be accepting notes and etc. from our Village. Just let her know if you have any pictures or other goodies to put in their book.

Dec. 6 will be one busy day for these gals as they will be going to several activities all day and will be in the Christmas parade.
Let's give them a big hand for all their efforts in having a wonderful time.

What we see when watching others depends on the
purity of the window through which we look.
Our girls are the greatest!!!!!

Successful Sunday

The Lakewood Village first open Pot Luck dinner

was held on Sunday in an almost full house.

Everyone brought their most delicious dishes to

share with the 65 to 70 hungry people.

Your committee had decorated the mile long table with

checkered cloths and the silverware was wrapped in

Thanksgiving colors.

Most impressive.

The dinner was blessed by Rick D. who does such

a fine compliment to all those present.

The buffet was one that was orderly and swiftly so

that each was served quickly.

Golly...what wonderful choices that each had to

contend with.

Our hats are off to the committee who took the time and

efforts to allow us to enjoy a Sunday dinner.

A 50/ 50 drawing was held and the lucky winner was a

dear friend, Bo A. We know he will enjoy his winnings.

~~~

On another note...

We missed many people who were not able to attend and

found out that Ron S. was in the hospital. His wife Eleanor

and her two sons brought her. We will keep Ron in our prayers

for a swift recovery.

Martha M. looked wonderful in spite of her scare the night before

and we were so relieved that things are going better for her.

Your reporter was a little under the weather but everyone

was so nice that I'm sure that we all had a wonderful time

together.

Thank you.

~~~

Have a happy day today!

Enjoy it because you got up this morning.

Pot Luck

Sunday is the big Day

~~~

These are some of foods needed for our 1st annual

POT LUCK dinner

Sunday at 12:00. noon....

We encourage all who can attend and to bring

your favorite dish to share with everyone.

This has been announced several times but

we invite all to attend so that you

might get to know your neighbors just

a little better.

The check list indicated that there will plenty

of meat dishes being brought so the side

dishes are needed.

Thank You.

Here and There.

Just a catch up on the week-end.

The Bunco group had and outstanding turnout and I'm

sorry I was unable to attend.

I have had reports that this was one of the biggest groups

this year and we owe it to our wonderful guys who were

brave enough to join us.

Our thanks to such a great team.

~~

We also had a flag raising event yesterday that wasn't

advertised and attended by such a small group.

Again I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend but I was told

it was very impressible and our hearts go out to all of those who

deserved this attention.

My thanks to those who read Lakewood Village Blog and

make comments to us. This is intended to inform you on

the activities and the past times in our Village.

around us, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will

try to communicate with the Village.

This afternoon our neighbors pulled up to their house

and were they surprised. It had changed a little. Of course

be back.

are the people...

Veterans Day

President D. Eisenhower

Proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day
Did you know that most Americans confuse Veterans day with
Memorial Day?
Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the
bravery and sacrifice of all U.S. veterans. However, most
Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day.
Memorial Day honors service members who died in service to their
country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle.
Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the
day is set aside to thank and honor living Veterans who served
honorably in the military-in wartime or peacetime.
~~~
November 11Th is the day we as citizens will observe this
powerful day.
Please take the time and reflect on this National holiday.
In Canada, this is their remembrance day so they will be observing
this with us.
May you have a wonderful and personal day remembering all
that we have.

This Thursday is the start of Golf so keep this in

This is wonderful exercise and the company

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

an hour to appreciate them,

A day to love them,

but then an entire life to forget them.

Life is just too Short.
