IT’S AN ODD EXPERIENCE watching someone fold your underwear.
I was thinking this yesterday as I was waiting for my laundry. When my husband, Peter, and I packed to go to Mexico, we knew there would be a wide range of temperatures. San Miguel de Allende is in the mountains, so the days can be quite hot, and the nights can be cold, and the weather changes a lot in November everywhere, so we had to be prepared for anything.
Our program last week was focused on the spirit of serving our community and the loving care that is given to our senior citizens. Melissa Bundy introduced Audra McConas, interim director of Mesa View Senior Living. McConas is serving until Ashley Morales finishes her hours and can take the reins. McConas was born in Louisiana to a farming family. She says it was an honor to grow up with the lessons learned from a strong family and a very strong connection to her grandparents.
Everett Cook spoke to the Rotary Club last week about his summer job with Sea Trek BVI. Cook started scuba diving when he was 8 years old, and now has 13 certifications: open water, advanced, rescue, marine heritage, wreck, night, deep water, wreck penetration, cave, low visibility, master diver, free diving, and scientific. He has 229 logged dives, which translates to 11,800 minutes underwater. Altogether, Cook has been on dives in 179 different locations around the globe.
The Comancheria Chapter of the Daughters of The American Revolution co-hosted a Veteran’s Day barbecue luncheon at the Wheeler Historical Museum on Nov. 11 to honor local veterans and their spouses.
“It was great to be together again,” said Comancheria Chapter NSDAR State Vice Chair Pamela Hill. “We had an outstanding turnout! We were honored to have WWII Veteran Wesley Steen in attendance as well.”
This recipe by Pam Lolley for Allrecipes.com screams fall! Warm, spicy apples with a buttery, crunchy topping. This is so easy and quick (just look at ingredients!) and sure to be a crowd pleaser. Delicious served with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with more of the caramel sauce. Enjoy!

MY HUSBAND, PETER, AND I feel like social butterflies. We certainly are not. But it feels as if we are because we are staying in a new city and finding it is easier to make new friends than any time since we were children.
