Bits & Pieces
Wednesday 12-25-19

A note from Eileen Menke: Just got out of the Hospital Saturday the 21st. So good to be home. I had a flair up in the bile duct. seems even if you don't have a gall bladder you can still form stones Dr. called it slush and they had to make a cut in the duct so everything can get out. Not a fun procedure. I was in the hospital for 5 days so it is so good to be home. I am still weak but I am trying to walk our long hall 3 times a day to build up my strength. I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all that remember me. The quilters and Pastor remember you. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!!

The Candlelight service was beautiful and the food following was great. It was a great night leading into Christmas Day. There were 185 people at the Candle Light service. The dinner in the hall was so good. There were lots of friends there to enjoy the food and friendships.

The responders can be there in a few seconds if called first. Be sure your medications you take are up to date. The ambulance people need to take your red envelope with them. The yellow sheet is for your pet. Be sure to fill it out so someone will know what to do with them if something happens to you.
