Have you all
adjusted to the
proper “time”?
Personally I
love the exten-
sion of daylight,
it gives me
more time for
VEDDER all my projects.
This past week
was spent thinning a wonderful
old apple tree that produces a zil-
lion apples every year. Maybe
thinning it down will cut down
said production? I can only give
away so many bags each Septem-
ber.
Here’s a great story that must
have a moral — not sure just what,
but it was a defining moment for me
last Saturday!
I was painting a sweet little chair
(that I bought at Goodwill for $6)
and was applying the second coat of
primer. I was on my hands and
knees in our living room, doing the
task... a chair sat on a little piece of
plastic to protect the floor.
Well, I stood up and was going to
step over the paint can to reach the
other side of chair, and... you
guessed it. Must have connected
with the stir stick that stands up in
can, and it acted like an efficient le-
ver.
Over went the can , spilling about
half of it all over the floor! Of
course I managed to step in it, add-
ing insult to injury, and had to
think faster than I ever have in my
life.
Husband came running, bringing
every rag I had stashed in laundry
room, paper towels, a spoon (yes, a
spoon) a plastic bag and so on.
Long story short, I cleaned it up so
well you’d never know it happened!
Hardwood floors saved the day be-
cause carpeting would have had a
different ending. Anyway, the little
chair is looking real good; come on
over someday and check it out.
Now, back to the real column
which is supposed to be about Sun-
shine Service! (I digress some-
times).
Our inventory is in good shape
right now, with several of every
item you might need. Those of you
who still have items from months
back, don’t forget to return them.
One of us can help pick things up if
you cannot handle that yourself.
Recently, a couple of people asked
the following:
Q Do we have a hospital bed? (No
we don’t)
Q Do we have a tilt-recliner? (No
we don’t)
Those items would be close to im-
possible to store or deliver. Howev-
er, you can rent unusual things
from McCann’s Pharmacy over in
King City. Rates are reasonable
and they do deliver!
We thank those neighbors who
have donated things to us. I can al-
ways find a home for things even if
we don’t need them.
I start with Sadie Wallenberg
over at the senior center in town
and if she doesn’t need anything, I
move onto Medical Teams Interna-
tional up in Tualatin.
That is a marvelous charity ac-
cepting all things mobile — walk-
ers, crutches, wheelchairs, etc.
They load up a huge container,
place it on a ship, and deliver these
items around the world to war torn
countries where they are so needed.
When the new CCC Directory is
published this spring, you will see a
whole new column of volunteers!
Many from the old group will still
be listed but we will add the half
dozen who have volunteered to sup-
port us.
Thank you again, I guarantee
you will love the job of serving your
community!
