Odds & Ends
by MYRTLE HEIDEMAN
With a birthday party like Dorothy Schneider had Saturday, no one would mind becoming 80 years “young.”
With the help of family and friends, one of Dorothy’s best birthday parties was held at the Maxwell Social Club. Guests were greeted and invited to a table laden with finger foods and cold beverages at 6 p.m. At seven a barbeque and all the trimmings (provided by the good cooks of the family) was served. Birthday cake (baked by Dwight Schneider) and punch was also served. A dance followed from 8 to 11 p.m. with DJ Rick Tobias sending out polkas, waltzes, country, etc. for the dancing and listening pleasure of everyone. With a party like that, who cares how old you are?! Have many more Dorothy.

Still hungry, well come to St. John Lutheran Church on Saturday evening, August 28 around 5 p.m. and bring a covered dish to go with fried chicken (no sandwiches) and a friend or two and join members of the church to kick off back to Sunday School Day on September 5th at 9:15 a.m. at the rec center next to the church. That’s Sat., August 28 at 5 p.m. for the supper and dominoes and Sunday school on Sept. 5 at 9:15 a.m. See you there.

Hope all had a safe and happy first day of school. Hays schools started Monday, August 23 and I wonder how many buses are on the road and how we arrived to school on time. In my day, when most walked, I was one of the lucky ones; I had a horse to ride.

Surprise! Pauline and Herbert Schwertfeger of Temple (recently moved to make their home near some of the children) stopped by Monday for a visit with Raymond and Myrtle Heideman.
