Sam Frye visited with Tom and Jewell Johnson one evening last week. Sam talks by phone with his sisters, Lena Sears in Rockford, Illinois, Hester Ranick in Rochelle, and Maxine Levan in Bettendorf, Iowa. They are still doing pretty well. Sam had also talked with sister-in-law, Lois Pellham in Moses Lake, Washington, and checked on Palmer Pellham in Ozark. He also talks with his “kids,” Nancy Hooten and Chris King in Texas. He says that they are all doing okay. Sam said that he is cleaning the house room by room and taking things to the “Food Harvest.”
Carl and Joan Fletcher of Bois D’arc stopped by for a visit with Billy Fletcher, Saturday. Billy rode to Springfield with Edgar and Sharon Stewart, Monday. They were taking Sue Hartgraves to a doctor’s appointment.
Norma Stillings visited residents and attended the Resident Council at the Heart of the Ozarks Healthcare Center last Tuesday. Residents can air their concerns and complaints, make requests about what foods they want to eat, etc. Then the next month those concerns will be reviewed to see if they have been resolved satisfactorily. Norma went back Saturday morning to play the piano and visit with residents.
Norma Stillings drove to Springfield, Monday for the annual mammogram. Driving by herself, she only saw four hawks. It is necessary for safety reasons to watch the road and pay attention to the other drivers rather than look for hawks. One of Norma’s friends told her how many dead skunks they had seen on the way to church, twelve or thirteen in one morning. Counting dead skunks is not as challenging nor as much fun as counting hawks.
