SPOTLIGHTING SENIORS

Food for Thought – Always look on the bright side of life!
Just for Laughs – A man moved to a nursing home. He soon noticed that a woman was constantly staring at him. After a few days, he approached her and asked, “Ma’am, why have you been staring at me all the time?”
“You look just like my third husband,” she replied.
“Well, how many times have you been married?” he asked.
She answered, “Twice.”
Our monthly 42 game had 2 tables. Those who played were Jo Lacy, Eunice Montgomery, Sandy Goodner, Margaret Philips, Gretta Cooper, Jimmie Pettigrew, Imogene Davis, and Fred Melcher. It was great to have Eunice Montgomery back and playing 42. Let’s try for 3-4 tables on the 15th!
