The second Lenten breakfast has been held at the Whittier Congregational Church Vestry with deacon, Bertha Pray at the helm. She was assisted by Sam Sewall, master bacon cooker, waiter, Marion Hoar, Steve and Donna Berry, with Steve doing the cooking and Donna making toast. And last, but not least, Verna Boone, who did a bit of everything, including the dishes and table cleanup. Menu served consisted of home fries, sausage, bacon, eggs, orange juice, tea, coffee, white toast and oat-meal toast. Donut holes were available for those with a sweet tooth. Our Catholic friends were all there and everyone had a great time, enjoying the fellowship and anticipating the next breakfast.
Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Webb have been in Bangor recently where Charlene has been treated for an ulcer on her leg. It is now practically healed, so further treatment won’t mean too many more trips south.
Since the rain and recent icy conditions it has been quite an ordeal to get out to the bird feeders. Have found a tub of dirt in the cellar and have been using it to make a walk way out to the feeders and also to the barn, where I am leaving dry food for a couple of cats who arrive every day from somewhere.
Still have the pine grosbeaks and, lately, quite a few starlings. Two little red squirrels are still around, running up and down the cedar tree and, sometimes, onto the roof of the house. They sure can consume a lot of birdseed, so I am making quite a few trips to replenish the feeders and am thankful for the dirt to throw on the ice. The other afternoon watched one deer walking very carefully toward the house on the crust. A couple of minutes later two others came out of the woods but they opted to follow the trail they had made through the snow, therefore were a little late getting to the goodies I had put out for them. I have about seven now so I am leaving more food for them, hoping it will get them through the winter. They are also eating my cedar branches, as far as they can reach, so figure they will be all right.
On Feb. 14 the Katahdin Club of Island Falls celebrated Clara Hathaway’s 101st birthday at the Yellow House Bed And Breakfast in Oakfield, serving Clara’s favorite, an old-fashioned turkey dinner, with all the fixing’s. Clara is still an active member of the Katahdin Club and the members do enjoy her input and wisdom. Before the dinner was served by hostesses, Gina Clark and Mary Moore, table grace was given by Pastor Naomi Sam-Kpakra, of the United Methodist Church, of Houlton. Following dinner, and after Clara had opened her gifts, a program was presented by Verna Mac Arthur, at the piano, with a sing-a-long of the old time music. Verna also persuaded Gladys Ferguson to also play a few old classics on the piano. All this was much enjoyed by Clara and the club members. Members celebrating Clara’s birthday were Mary Moore, Gina Clark, Doris Lynch, Leithea Porter, Nora Willigar, Gladys Ferguson, Verna MacArthur, and guest, Pastor Naomi Sam-Kpakra.
