Cub Center Chats
Mother Nature won’t let us get off this roller-coaster ride just yet, and it has been a bumpy ride, indeed! Last Friday morning, my eyes popped wide-open when my weather app said the snow would end about 8:30. SNOW! I leaped out of my chair and dashed to the window to catch a glimpse of the white stuff, but, alas, there was none. We tend to become obsessed with moisture during these dry spells, however minute. Unfortunately, there were no frosty white flakes to thrill the sight—just a slight muscle strain from the dash to the window!
Due to recent surgeries and frigid weather, Bingo didn’t happen last week, but hopefully, we’ll be back on schedule next week.
The “42” and “84” sessions were going strong in the game room. Who won? It depends on who you ask. Since we draw for partners, we are often unsure who won! Now we CAN remember who brought the food for the “halftime” coffee break! On Thursday, Barbara Walker made her famous dip, and Hubert Gray supplied the Frito ‘scoops’ to act as edible spoons. Yummy! Previous days saw the appearance of cookies, cakes, and candy towana Fikes is known for her brownies, and James Ford supports our sweet teeth with doughnuts or cookies. Me? I usually make cakes or cookies.SUPPORT SENIOR CUB CENTER

When you see those youngsters who compete in the stock shows, please give them a pat on the back and compliment them on a well-done job. Caring for and showing animals requires lots of time and dedication. They learn responsibility and respect for others from their participation in any ag program, so praise them at every opportunity. Praise is a motivator; we all need some form of praise to keep us going, so let’s boost each other up with kind thoughts and deeds.
Why did colonists to the New World fight for their independence? Why did the colonists in Texas fight for theirs? Are we protecting our independence? Just some food for thought this week, lest we forget.
As I entered Walmart last week, I met a little lady leaving. I nodded and smiled at her, and she smiled from ear to ear. We talked a bit, and then she asked if I’d give her a hug. So, I leaned down and gave her a big squeeze. We both needed that! So, if you see a short grandmotherly-looking little lady who asks for a hug, give her one. It’ll make your day!
You can be whatever you want to be; choose to BE KIND.
