We send out Rainbows-of-Sapphires-and-Asters to Sherry Hague who celebrates her special day this week. Happy birthday, Sherry!Darlene’s Commentary: I want to tell everyone what a wonderful organization Mission Home Health Care is. From the office staff to the field workers, everyone was extremely positive, helpful, well-educated, experienced and ready to answer any question. I am certain that these qualities make an enormous difference in a patient’s healing. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Registered Nurse Maria for explaining everything to me clearly (and her sense of humor when my dog Otis almost knocked her over!), Case Manager Chris Farrand for helping me move through the stages smoothly with her can-do spirit, and Physical Therapist Debbie Brackett for helping me through the pain and healing with encouragement to move forward. And I hope Ms Scheivan from Ireland decides to join the group – you’ll make an excellent addition to the team!
Karen’s Commentary: There must be some kind of special solid-gold loving cup award available for an ad-writer/artist who is capable of creating a cute- and cuddly-looking bladder with a whole range of sweet facial expressions! If someone had told me awhile back that there would be an ad on TV with a darling little bladder in it – well, the laughter would’ve been uproarious to start with! I really think an award is due here.
The Wonder Valley Thrift Store, on Godwin Road north of Highway 62, is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 to noon. All proceeds go to the Godwin Christian Fellowship Church building fund.
Handy Hint: Buy plain cottage cheese and yogurt and stir in fresh or canned fruit. Much cheaper and healthier than buying pre-flavored versions.
