I got a call from Coke Fellenstein today. She is asking for prayers for Charles as he is in the hospital. He went to the hospital on Christmas morning. Need to get the prayer wheel spinning for Charles.

Mary Beecher wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Spent 16 years at Trophy and enjoyed every day of it.

On Wednesday night, December 23rd, playing Hoss Collar was great, the big wind and cold didn’t arrive until after midnight, so we had fun! Dot Zylistra came in 1st Place with 574 points, (and I am so happy that she did this so I could finally, after all these years, learn how to spell her last name).  John Chalko came in 2nd with 566 points and Dan Lang came in 3rd with 560 points. We play Hoss Collar Wednesday nights and Saturday nights at 6:30PM.  Bring a dollar bill and your mask, we sanitize the sticks, pencils, and benches, and play every other court for your safety. We play regular shuffleboard every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00AM. All times are weather permitting.  We will teach you how to play both games. EASY to learn.

Any time you are not getting Bits & Pieces please let me know so I can check it out.

Stay Safe and Stay Healthy

 Another fun Sunday afternoon in the pool hall. There were 8 teams signed up and each team played seven games...   Alex Stinson & Bev McEnaney won six of the seven games played...  Team  Liz Pish & Moe Lafavre won five games and teams Mikie Patrick & Jerry Thibodeau and team Janet Yeley & Paul Kelleher four games... The sign-up sheet is up for next Sunday, December 27th.   The start time is at 1:00 pm. Come have some fun.

Saturday, December 19th, another beautiful night for Hoss Collar. Donna Hanke came in 1st Place with 596 points, Lance Pearson came in 2nd with 586 points, and Dale Hustad came in 3rd Place with 544 points. We play Wednesday and Saturday nights, weather permitting. The excitement starts at 6:30PM, bring a one-dollar bill and you will probably get your dollar back.  1st Place gets 3 dollars back, 2nd Place gets 2 dollars back and the bottom three players get nothing but a good time.  We sanitize sticks, benches, and pencils.  We wear our masks and use social distancing.  Come and have a great time under the moon and stars.  We play Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 9:00AM regular shuffleboard.  Covid rules apply and precautions are taken as well.  This game is also very easy to learn and involves strategic plays that you develop yourself.  Come and get your vitamin C and make new friends.

The Best Gift

 

  This Christmas remember the Spirit of Christmas and keep it dear. And make the very first gift you give the greatest one: Give the gift of love.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, love is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things…. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians Chapter 13

May you and those you love have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS filled with love and joy – and the true spirit of Christmas.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

CFO (Caring For Others) Donation Station is currently closed. We are cleaning and organizing. We are not taking donations at this time. We appreciate your patience. Plans are to reopen in 2021 Thank you for your support.

Thank you for all of the calls and cards following Jim’s death. Our years at Trophy Gardens were filled with such special memories of our friends and the many activities we enjoyed.  Trophy will always be a heartwarming memory. Lynette Jackson

Hoss Collar results for Saturday, December 12th.  The evening started out pretty windy but soon the wind died down and the weather was downright pleasant.  Many of the players were really “hot”, as we had some extremely high scores.  LeRoy Moore was on fire and took 1st Place with an astounding 794 points; Dale Hustad was trying to catch up with 734 points and took 2nd Place.  Linda Lang beat out John Chalko by one point with 694 and 693 points respectably. Lance Pearson followed with 687 points. LeRoy only needed 6 points to put him in the “800 Club” whose only member is Kristi Johnston with a total of 802 points. LeRoy is the highest point member of the “700 Club”. Linda and LeRoy tied Ted Peluk and Linda’s high score of 317 points for a single game, which is really weird. We play Hoss Collar Wednesday nights and Saturday nights starting at 6:30PM  We wear masks, our sticks are sanitized and we practice social distancing.  Regular shuffleboard is played Mon, Wed, & Friday mornings starting at 9:00AM.  Wear a mask, and sticks are sanitized and we practice social distancing. Come out and get some Vitamin D.

Sunday's Mixed pool doubles.....  We had another fun Sunday afternoon in the pool hall with 12 people playing.    16 people signed up but two couples had to cancel...    Our top winning teams were   Barb Utech & Harry Link.   Janet Yeley & Butch Brooker and Bev McEnaney & Jim Weeks...   Our next Mixed doubles games are on December 20th and the start time is 1:00.   The signup sheet is up...  Come join in on the fun...

There is going to be a Christmas Eve church service at 6:00 p m. Wear your masks and sit in the chairs as placed in the hall.

Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!!

And now you know

 And now you know why we sanitize the pool hall equipment after every use.

Trivia

You know how they’ve been saying not to go to a gym during the pandemic? Well, this might have something to do with it… FitRated.com collected samples from 27 pieces of gym equipment from three different gyms and found there were more than one million germs per square inch on every piece of equipment – hooooooly cow! The equipment with the most germs was the treadmill, followed by the exercise bike, followed by free weights. Free weights, they found, had 362 times more bacteria on them than a toilet seat.

Did it again!

 The last post was supposed to go on my personal blog so if it makes no sense to you that is why. I am leaving it there because it is something different for you to mull over!
