SEPTEMBER SANDBAGGERS
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
The September Sandbaggers tournament on September 25th was kind of like West Side Story, but instead of Sharks and Jets, we had Walkers and Riders! Two teamsof 4 vied for the coveted September honors. Competition was close with Linda Lee scoring a birdie on the 7th for the Riders.
We started out MNF with pulled pork and sides with hosts Don & Lisa Rains. Since then the menu just keeps going with the hosts providing great dinners for $6.00. Past menus include Baked Ziti and home made pecan and pumpkin pies to celebrate 2 birthdays. We then celebrated Oktoberfest and slowed down with some SloppyJoes. You are all welcome to come out and cheer your favorite team to victory or catch up with friends and events in the area. We have some that just enjoy the meal for $6.00 and leave after. We have about 15 to 20 regulars and then some drop by because they see it’s a gathering. Whatever your reason you will enjoy the evening.
In the end, Walkers lead by Mike Turner with Linda Cordes, Linda Lee and Barbara Weibe edged out the Riders lead by Val Liskowski with Gene Heyer, Patti Christiansen and Cheryl Vines to win the prize! Big winners were: Closest to the hone on #1

THE 5 MINUTE STORYTELLERS CLUB
throwing devices and explained how to throw them. No actual throws were attempted.
Our October 5th Storytellers gathering had an interesting variety of tales. Stories that were funny, instructional and poignant.
Peter C. related stories about the famous rock group, the Yardbirds. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton played many times at the Filmore venue where Peter saw them perform. They were voted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
Linda C. read a magazine article about resident Jane Hash, who is more than our local mermaid. Her long battles dealing with serious physical challenges were definitely inspirational. Her fight to improve services for others was quite amazing. Lenny T. related a story of an old “mate” of his who had a bit too much to drink one night and had to take a cab home. He slipped something into the cabbie’s pocket and said that the next drink was “on him”. When the cabbie checked his pocket he found a Tetley tea bag. Stephanie R. thanked everyone who assisted with the annual yard sale and mentioned that a new recycling drop-off is now located at Cuesta College in Lot 3. She also related how some recent low energy days were caused by her teeth. Her dentist removed the nasty culprits, added a couple of anti-bacterial meds and she now feels better than she has in many years. Keep up with your teeth to help maintain a healthy body. Rene S. told us she was a former teacher and at some point taught a night school class on computers to older adults. One evening she was cleaning up the classroom after class and discovered a set of dentures that someone had left. She took them home until the next class. When she displayed the teeth and asked if any students were missing their teeth on gentleman came forward and “gummed” that he thought they might be his. He placed them in his mouth and sure enough they were his. That brought laughter from all.
Kim B. attended the 40th annual Woolie Adventure gathering and a fashion show which included two young sisters, age 5 & 7 showing off their weaving skills. Sheep herding contests and many other yarn related events were highlighted. Kim also displayed yarns made from plant fiber instead of wool. Mike J. finished the day relating his frustration with dealing with the various medical forms that his dentist and dermatologist required before confirming appointments. The forms included questions on a lot of very old health history that had nothing to do with either teeth or skin exams. The worst part was he had to do this not once a year but before EVERY appointment. We hope more residents will attend our next meeting on November 2nd at 1:30pm in Switzer Hall. Mike J. (filling in for Jim M.)
John H. was wearing his Australian hat when he described how a boomerang was made how it was used for many different chores from hunting to digging. He also displayed a number of different styles of

Ralph’s Pharmacy at Morro Shores. Great job.
From the editor’s desk… Just a reminder, now that daylight savings time is ending (Nov. 1st), it’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and Let me know about events you think residents would be interested in knowing about. Remember I need advance information for posting. Art, Entertainment, Nature, fundraisers, and others. We have so many residents who take part in outside activities and it would be nice to give a ‘shout out’ to you. Give me a call if you have questions.
