Singles Meeting Friends Gathered
Twelve people gathered for a social hour, or two, or three, at Hacienda Wednesday evening.
Jim announced the evening would be filled with audience participation. During introductions, everyone was to tell who their mentor was and why: He was going through some difficult times, attended a party with a speaker that caught his attention, who wound up counseling him and helping him get back on the right path; she says she has no mentor, well maybe her mother; she says there is no one person in particular, but if she had to say, it would be the special needs children on her bus; her father is her mentor, he was always level headed, had a way with people, could get anybody to do anything and had a way of telling a person off without their realizing it; her late husband taught her what a loving relationship was, and also the value of a loving relationship; her classmate was her mentor, right up until he passed away; she and her mom became best friends after she got married; her mother took care of her younger sister who was born with birth defects; her grandmother was a big influence on her, always saying “if you have nothing good to say, then don’t say anything at all”; her grandmother taught her the word of the Lord, as well as patience; her mentor was a nurse that she used to work under; his dad was always to the point and a disciplinarian. If you have been paying attention, the majority chose a family member as their mentor. In today’s society, if you were to ask the same question of young people, they would most likely answer with a sports figure, musician, artist, etc. That is because a lot of kids don’t have a strong sense of family at home, or a family member to look up to. Out of curiosity, ask your children, or grandchildren, who their mentor is. You may be surprised.
Jim then wanted to bring out the hidden talent in all of them by passing out sticks of clay. They were to make a sculpture of something that has meaning to them, or something that they wish for: Chris made a green swan, Edie made a car (sedan); Charlene made a horse; Donna made an Easter basket; Susanne made a compact car; Rita made a yellow table for Linda’s pink tea party; Tom made a fish and Catherine made a red snowman.
Jim then spoke of an email he received of a radio talk show. The caller was a doctor heading home from a conference in Washington, D.C., about the new health care bill. He called in to give his opinion of the new health care program, Medicare and Medicaid, and how they are going to affect each and every one of us. That topic made the conversation turn to politics, the upcoming presidential election, Congress and Social Security.
Linda ended the evening by telling a couple of short stories, and several people stayed to play games and cards.
Today at 7 p.m. Jim is opening his home for a party. He will furnish the barbecue, so you need to bring a covered dish and your favorite beverage.
Feb. 11 is a Valentine’s party at the North Webster American Legion. It was decided that this would be their Valentines Party.
Next week’s social hour, or two, or three, will be devoted partially to our ancestors. Do you have a very short story to tell about one of your ancestors? Do you have some memorabilia that you would like to bring for show and tell? They found out last week, that there is a lot of history among our ancestors. Let’s share some of that knowledge with each other.
The heck with the cold temperatures, and occasional white stuff on the ground, let’s get some events planned for upcoming weekends. If you have an idea, share it with someone, and just maybe we can make it work. You don’t necessarily have to worry about the set up, or cleaning up, of the party, since this group is great with both. The people in this group always seem to come together when it's time to clean up after a party. Let’s get some activities planned, giving the group something to look forward to in the upcoming weeks.
Join them at the Warsaw Hacienda at 6:30 p.m. All single people are welcome.[[In-content Ad]]
