Late yesterday afternoon UNH’s held a Easter Dinner in the
community room hosted by the KMHC staff, I have to admit I had a good time. Earlier
in the day I made a special trip to the local bakery and picked up a dozen
dinner rolls for the event. The KMHC staff gave exceptional service. It’s not everyday one gets to see H.O.W. probie
Christine and receptionist Sharon wearing an apron serving food with a smile. The
HSC was also stationed at the buffet table serving turkey dressing. To make the best of an awkward moment as I
passed her I said ‘I’m ok’ and moved on to the other foods. Tenants Sue, Dave,
Judy, KMHC staff member Deb and her daughter Naomi sat at our table. Dinner conversation
ranged from sharing life experiences, classic rock music, education and
guessing the age of those sitting at our table.
LOL
I invited Luke the cleaner to sit with us but I think he
felt more comfortable sitting in a back chair. Never the less I said to him ‘I’m
glad you joined us’. In the past he was never included in the events. He’s a friendly
helpful young man and reminds me of my son. After dinner I decided to approach and
chat with guest and UNH’s board member Marilyn Wright. We weren’t strangers we met
before at another meeting, I found her to be a friendly remarkable woman. It was good to see elder tenant Howie,
Catherine and the rest enjoying their dinner.
For those who don't know we natives have hearty appetites. OMG! I went overboard I ate two helpings of food and raided
the dessert table. I’ll have to double
my workouts at the gym for the next few days. :)
Surprisingly no dirty looks from the HSC and the UNH's Director
showed up late for dinner as usual which I think is disrespectful. H.O.W. Lynda Jones was absent from the event perhaps
she was hiding in the back office area where they moved the security monitor. :P
Happy Easter
