After a few days of vacation its good to be back home. I visited two of my sisters in Oklahoma City and made a visit to see my doctor. All was well with my doctor’s examination, and I do not need to see him again for a year. I enjoyed playing the slots with my sisters at River Wind casino in Norman, Oklahoma. I was needing to get away for a few days, and I feel completely relaxed after getting back home. This place will never be the same after losing my husband and several other family loved ones the past few years, but with the help of God I am getting through day by day. It seems as though there is a veil over my eyes, and I keep looking for a way to pull it off. I am not sure of which way I’m headed some of the time. I guess it might be called, “lost in the storm.” I do feel better now after returning home, and I believe I will be seeing more clearly in a short time. We are built to take the storms of life even though it takes a lot of self-denial. I am thankful for family and friends who are always there to help me recover from all the discouragement that seems to visit me every day. I never fail to ask God to bless them all before going to bed at night.
A lunch at the Center was nice for my appetite today. It was just what I needed to satisfy my taste. Salmon patties, fried potatoes, black-eyed peas, cold slaw, tossed salad, pickled beets, garlic toast, and lemon pie for dessert. The cooks at the Center are especially good. They know how to put that extra goodness into every dish they prepare. The meals are worth the $8.00 we pay for them. The fellowship is free, and is as enjoyable as the food. I just wish more people would start coming to take advantage of the, spirit-lifting hour or two that several have found to be real. Someone is always there to make new comers feel welcome. A sweetheart of a hostess is more than happy to see a new face just like seeing the old faces. For anyone who may be in a rut you need to spin out and come visit the Center. May the 8th is a special Mother’s day dinner with the price per person $20.00. There is usually about 100 + people at these special occasions. It will be worth it to have a wonderful meal and be able to see so many friends and acquaintances. Put it on your calendar now. Everyone needs someone, and the Center needs you. It is supported solely by donations and lunches served to members, and non-members. Perryton is fortunate to have s nice place like the Center to offer so many good things besides food. Give it a try, and see for your self.
God Bless
