Here's hoping that working folks enjoyed their day off on Monday. For us oldsters, holidays like that have little impact except that the Post Office and banks are closed.
After more than six inches of rain in the first 10 days of the month, there has been a very pleasant spell of nice weather. All this sunshine has spring bulbs and flowering shrubs opening up everywhere you look. Weather like this makes it easier for me to enjoy my upcoming birthday.
Friday night's dinner at the Café will feature Doug's Chicken Fettuccini. As usual, a Beverage, Salad and Dessert are always included for $9. Reservations are required and need to be made by 6 p.m. Wednesday - Call Linda at (360) 295-0875.
Saturday will be this month's Town Potluck sponsored by the Social Club. Bring a little "somethin' somethin'" and enjoy the fun, food and fellowship. That's at 5 p.m. in Community Hall. The Social Club has a brief meeting following the Potluck and then some stay to play cards.
Monday has burgers and homemade soup at the Café from 4 to 6 p.m. This week has Karaoke following at 6:30 p.m. The burgers - beef, chicken or veggie - are cooked to perfection and served with all the trimmings, including grilled onions if desired. The soups are almost always homemade with fresh ingredients. Come out and enjoy!
