 Bits & Pieces

Sunday 4-10-2022

 

*** I received word that a good friend has passed away. Mary Hartgerink passed away on April 4, 2022. Mary & Harold lived on Blue Ribbon for years. Cards can be sent to her daughter at N 967 County Road Ch., Colonma, WI 54930-9111.

 

***The Bingo game to help raise funds for Kayla, Balinda's daughter was at 5:30 pm this evening. Everything was marked in Spanish with pictures. We even learned some Spanish for things we have seen before.

It was a fun game and almost everyone won some jewelry. Terry Steinbeck even modeled what he won. It was a fun evening.

 

***For those who like to read: I found a paper when I got home. It was for a Used Book store in Donna. Meg's Books have moved from the Farmers Marker to downtown Donna. 210 S Mail St. across from the HEB. She will trade a book that you have read for Credit. She will take Mysteries, Westerns, Sci-Fi, and Novels. If you like to read this might be an option for you.

 

***We have been having 3 digit temperatures for a few days. Today was a welcome relief from the heat. Today it is very windy. We could hardly get out the Pool Hall door.

 

****There were 76 in attendance for the Sunday service and brunch. Pastor Randy thanked Tod Zigler for flying in and making the attendance one more that last week. There will be many leaving this week so it will be interesting how many will be here for Easter Sunday.

A ham dinner potluck is being planned.

 

Safe travels for those leaving this week.

Today was a sad day for us pool players that enjoy our Sunday Mixed Doubles as we won't be getting together till this coming October 2022.. A lot of teams have left for summer homes. However, we will still be playing just to play on weekdays... This Sunday we had only five teams signed up to play and we had Marlin Neilson filling in and also( Bob Brooker a new player) to make our teams complete... It is also good to have substitutes agree to fill in when we need players to make the teams complete... Thanks to Marlin & Bob...

We were trying to find a purple glove as one D. H. had lost hers -- I think - well it looked like it that she was wearing a winter glove that she had brought from Wisconsin to use when the weather was cold-- or when she was riding her bike... If anyone finds a purple glove you know who it belongs to... Before we started playing we had time for education on age--- guess we got sidetracked? I overheard one of the players making the following comment "Nan - Nan - Nan - Nan I made my shot even if you don't." And also "this game is a little bit of luck." Personally, it is a lot of skill ....and some luck too.

This is how our teams placed:

Winning all four games were Donna Hanke & Paul Kelleher

Winning two games were Betsie Brown & Marlin Neilson, Bev McEnaney & Elmer Hanke

Winning one game were Sally Kelleher & Terry Steinbeck, Bob Brooker & Gayle Steinbeck.......

Our sign-up sheet is up for October of 2022. Come join in on the fun time... Thanks to everyone that joined in on the Sunday Mixed Doubles games... Friendships were made and fun was had.

PS: To all my friends and family. I borrowed Bob's name for a couple of hours so I could fill out the teams for Mixed doubles (Pool). Butch couldn't miss the Masters, you know!
