Wilmore got one inch of rain this week, wheat farmers are happy.
We did a good cleaning at the church on Monday, Nov. 1. We had about 13 or 14 people all working on noble causes. Even one of our newest participants Gayla Redgar was there and did the rug cleaning. They even cleaned out the over head lights, which entails a tall ladder and someone to climb it. Thanks to all who helped and those that sent people.
Roger Unruh has donated a beautiful stained glass window to be installed over the area of the pulpit. It is called The Accession of Christ and they got it years ago out of an old church. They took it to Wichita and had it repaired and now Roger is ready to part with it and have it be in memory of his wife of 47 years, Gaylyn Unruh. What an honor, thanks Roger.
Well Jerrica Glen finally did it, she filled her pew at church. Jerrica and Gene, Tac and Tuff, Jenny and Clark Cronin and three friends of theirs from Pennsylvania. Congratulations Jerrica.
Marilyn Huck did a nice job at piano since Zac Ellis was in Protection fulfilling his obligations with the singing group Joyful Noises. By the way they will appear again at the Soup Supper for Wilmore Federated Church at the Community Center this weekend.
Birthdays this month include Ralph Ring, Tac Glenn had #5 on Sunday and had a very fun party in the park, Bob Delaney and our 65th wedding anniversary on the 18th.
Red Hats met on Thursday, at Dave’s Pizza at noon. Johnita Nystrom was the hostess and announce she and her husband will be moving to Newton. The theme was Veteran’s Day and I did a little presentation on the very large facility called Fort Rosecrans in San Diego. It is a beautiful location on a hill with the ocean on one side and the bay on the other, established in 1853 by Millard Filmore. Thank you veterans for your service.
We saw Mike Cooley the other day at the post office. He was walking and he carried a big stick. We often see him in one of his many cars or driving his lawn mower but we got to talk to him and life is good.
We had a great carousel day yesterday, Saturday. We had another group from the Pratt Senior Center, there were about eight this time and we also did a house tour. hen Diane Yost, her family and her sister and family from Iowa. They got into it, and Diane and Ernie got to converse in spanish. Carol Unruh came and brought 3 of her grandkids and cookies, one without chocolate for Beau the dog. Come again. Brooke and Jodi Ferrin brought Jodi’s granddaughter over for a ride too.
We changed up our schedule and went to Daves Pizza and The Cat in the Hat movie Saturday night because of the soup supper. Good movie but a little long for kids and a good turn out.
We have a new great grandson, born Nov. 7 at 7:04 p.m. and weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces. Lucky number 7, no name yet.
Thanks for having me, see you next week.
