Another great breakfast was served to a good lot of people on Sunday, Feb. 24. Supervisor was Donna Berry and she was assisted by Sam, doing the bacon yet again, Marion Hoar waiting on, Bertha Pray, worker at large, Kris Lento, daughter of Donna, worker at large and Steve Berry doing the serious cooking.
The menu was plain or blueberry pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, coffee, tea and orange juice. Once again fellowship was very much in attendance and all are anticipating the next Lenten breakfast on March 2, and sincerely hoping that a snowstorm will not arrive.
On Feb. 22, Mary Lou Pomeroy and daughter, Jane Foster, arrived from Caribou to meet with friends, Riva, Patti Hartin, niece, Paula Lilly, and friend Pam McGary and husband at the “Horn of Plenty” here in Island Falls. All enjoyed a great lunch and got caught up on all the goings on of everyone.
Mrs. Gertrude Webb has been a recent patient at Houlton Regional Hospital but has now returned to Graymoor, where she has been a resident for about two years.
Got plowed out yet again after Tuesdays snow so I can once again get to the bird feeders. Come spring (will it ever arrive?) we are bound to have spring floods with all the snow that has accumulated.
The two big gray squirrels are still hanging upside down and getting as many seeds as they can while they last. The little red ones sure have to wait their turn and quite patiently wait in the cedar tree to get their fill. Have an occasional mourning dove show up and lately; quite a few starlings have arrived too. Every afternoon about 4 p.m. the deer start their trek thru the snow up to the area where I leave their goodies. First come three of them, the regulars, and then about a half hour later, four more show up. By then, most of the food is gone, but they eat what is left over and hang around for quite awhile. I go out a bit after dark and put out a bit more food for them, which they gobble up real quick.
Have had news from a former residence of Island Falls, Ginny Mooers, who now lives in Virginia, and she tells me she has lots of deer in her backyard but is unable to go out and feed them. They don’t have snow where she lives but the deer are plentiful, and have no snow to keep them from wandering everywhere.
