Soup on a Cold Day

Posted on November 17, 2023 by Jackie Deal

What could be better on a cold, wintery noon than hot soup, homemade garlic toast, and crunchy oatmeal cookies??  Add in a beautiful travelogue of Italy on the big screen with soft Italian music.  That was this past Wednesday noon in our clubhouse. Did you miss it??

Almost every Wednesday our Chef Denis will be alternating soup and dinner both with music and travelogue presented by Richard Hickethier.  The Wed. before Thanksgiving there will be NO soup since Thanksgiving dinner will be a big hullabaloo. But the Wed. after Thanksgiving (Nov. 29) will be Chicken Adobo, the national dish of the Philipines. (Will Richard find Filipino music and pictures?) This will be a full dinner served at 2 p.m. That’s to get you all home before dark! Soups will be served at 12 noon.

Until further notice, every Wednesday after that, soup and dinner will alternate.  Be sure to put this on your calendar.  Everything is homemade (in our kitchen) and from fresh ingredients.

Expecting Guests Anytime Soon? Come to Social Hour on Friday at 3pm

Posted on November 14, 2023 by webadmin

So you are expecting a couple of friends or members of your family to visit you. Your rig is set up with a bed for you and your spouse, and you exchange the couch for different chairs and a loveseat. What are their overnight accommodation?

Well, there is a Motel 6 3 miles away. The cost is only $60 dollars a night, plus tax. The bed is reasonable, and after a shower and getting dressed, there is a restaurant nearby to walk to for breakfast or an additional $25.

Then there is the Best Western, also 3 miles away, for $145 plus the tax, and after you change from PJs to street clothing, you walk outside to the office area, and breakfast is free. Walking outside again, there is a pool house with a lukewarm hot? tub and a cool pool. No towels, but regular towels are available in the office. Persons not registered may not accompany you.

And then we have a spacious, well-appointed place within spitting distance of your rig for $94 plus tax. There is everything you need for breakfast, fruit, eggs, bread, a toaster, and even a bottle of great wine for an evening watching a big TV even while in bed. The hostess and host are great at making guests happy. The place is clean and comfortably furnished.

Attend the Social Hour on November 17th at 3 pm and learn more as they will be our guests for the hour.

Timber Valley was saddened by the news that Glen Golgert, Lot #75, had passed away on October 25, 2023. Glen and his wife, Cheryle Golgert , moved into Timber Valley on September 03, 1990. Glen was one of the “original members” still with us. Cheryle passed away on July 20, 2021. Glen stayed in the Park until his move to Oak Park Assisted Living in Roseburg during March of 2022. He is survived by his sister, Theo Geblen and niece Rhonda Patnode of Washington. Glen’s sister, Theo Golgert and family, suggested that donations be given to the Sutherlin Oakland Food Pantry.

Library Use Procedures

Posted on November 5, 2023 by webadmin

The library committee is excited that all books, movies, CDs, and books on CDs have all been sorted and alphabetized. In order to keep the library in order we need your help.

The library DOES NOT ACCEPT hardcover books, those that have no covers or are torn. Nor do we except VHS or Cassette tapes of any type, puzzles missing pieces or movies that have been scratched or corrupted. Please just throw them out.

Please allow our staff to reshelve all books, movies, books on CDs etc. This will ensure they are restocked properly and therefore easier for you to locate your favorite.

The Harlequin books are stored together on a separate shelf in the romance section.

The Oversized books are on the middle shelf and are filed by author, however they are intermixed and all different genres.

If you are donating puzzles, please write the date of donation on the back of the puzzle or leave on the desk in the library so we may do so. If you complete a puzzle that has not been dated on the back, please do so. This way we can keep the proper rotation when we donate older ones.

On the desk in the library there are two binders full of movies that have been donated. They are stored in alphabetical order. There are cover sleeves on the window seal for your use. Please return in the return crate and we will refile.

Thank you all for helping the library staff to help things running smoothly.

Kathy Perry, Committee Chairman

Social Hour November 3, 3 p.m. in the Clubhouse

Posted on November 1, 2023 by webadmin

This week will feature our own Chef Denis Perkins. No, he will not be cooking for
us; we will be the ones to bring anything to eat while we listen to one of the things
that is so special about this man.

With a slide show, Denis will tell us about his 20-year Navy and cooking experience
on a submarine. Can you imagine preparing a shopping list and cooking for a group of hungry men in a small kitchen? Can you imagine not being able to look out of the window? Was he ever involved in military action on the sub?

We have lots of questions to ask this special man. Do not miss the opportunity to honor Denis and hear his experiences.
