Wedding Belles

Posted on July 31, 2021 by webadmin

Rita and I had a wedding photography business. We worked everywhere from the firehouse to the country club. After working one very long day at a country club, we found out that “ the help “ , dj and photographers were not to be fed. We didn’t care much for that so we took a few “ candid “ shots of the bride demonstrating her nastiness. We were fed. Blackmail? Hell yes ! Continue reading →

Game Gals! News Flash!!!!!

Posted on July 29, 2021 by webadmin

Here is another chance to add to your fun!

There are several of us “Gals” living at Timber Valley who love to play games. Some have husbands or partners who like to play also. However…. There are a lot of us whose husbands have no interest in games, or we are single and therefore no longer have partners.

This new and fun group is open to any “gal” who would like to join us. (Sorry guys you’re left out on this one). We have been meeting on game nights of Monday and Saturday at 6PM. By request we are adding the second and fourth Tuesdays at 1:30 in the game room. Currently we are playing Fast Track, but we’ll be glad to play what others suggest. We have been known to have so much fun and laughter that it interfered with others playing poker.

Hope to have you join us. Questions???? Contact Joy Stalnaker at 541 343-8283. Calls and text messages work.

Update From Helaine

Posted on July 24, 2021 by webadmin

It has been quite awhile since I last reported on my Cancer journey. There was supposed to be a story on the radiation treatments that were to follow the chemo. I bought the creams and lotion. Dug out the most comfortable bras. But continued to do my research. Not just with Dr. Google but with a couple of support groups I found on Facebook. My concerns were my age, (I am the oldest member in one of those group,). I am very fair skinned, I will say that I can get a sunburn from 100 wt bulb, not true, but you understand. And it is the left boob that is involved, so close to my heart and I am also an a-fib patient. I read all the directions and tips. Did you know that a cabbage leaf makes a perfect bra liner? Keeps all the ointment and lotions on the boob and not your clothes.  But then I read from two different sources that radiation on seniors, 70yrs plus, had little or no benefits. That is when I decided to refuse it. One Dr. admitted it would not change my numbers, and my Primary Dr. was glad. Said there was no reason to put myself through that.
So it was on to an aromatase inhibitor.  That is an estrogen blocker pill that I will be on probably the rest of life. So far I have had little side effects but it is an accumulative thing and likely will get worse. That wont be fun, but that is not today.
Today is a good day, I have NED.
Those of you that read Facebook already know this but I wanted the rest of Timber Valley to know. While I am very happy with NED, it is not a new man in my life. NED is cancer speak for No Evidence of Disease.
My cancer team does not want to see me again until December. Then we will take another look. Prayers for continuing NED gratefully accepted.

After finishing your washing, please remember to check the wash machine’s drum, door, gaskets and dispenser drawers for grime and pet hair.

Take a moment to run a clean cloth around the inside of each drum and in each of the dispenser slots so that the next person does not have to clean up after you before getting to their own wash.

Your neighbors and fellow Escapees thank you.
