Life goes on in this wonderful retirement community. I am surrounded by my loving family and friends. Life is good!
a Dose of Dave (Barry)
Thanksgiving is not merely a time of eating until we are big fat bloated carbohydrate balloons lying motionless on the sofa watching the Detroit Lions while actual gravy oozes from our pores. Thanksgiving is also a time of giving thanks --as the Pilgrims did so many centuries ago --for the fact that the malls are open on Friday. Otherwise we'd have to spend another day cooped up with our loved ones, not to mention toxic levels of leftovers, and the number of domestic drumstick assaults would be even higher than it is.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea of eating turkeys, which are, let’s face it, living organisms, like dogs or celery. You may wonder: Is there a more humanitarian option that you can serve for Thanksgiving dinner? There certainly is: tofu, a semi-foodlike substance secreted by soybeans as a defense mechanism. Tofu can be used as a high-protein substitute, as well as a denture adhesive or tile grout. In its natural state, tofu is tasteless and odorless, but if you form it into a turkey-shaped lump, season it well, add gravy, and bake it for two hours in a shallow pan at 350 degrees, you can also use it for minor driveway repairs.

Johnna is a portmanteau word made from JOHn (that's me) and my late wife DoNNA who is loved and will be missed forever.

What a beautiful day for a beautiful woman. The weather could not have been better. The ceremony was very nice. Donna was definitely with us today.
Our thoughts were with you. Rest in Peace, Donna.
Don and I wish we could have been there, but unfortunately the yacht was not handicap accessible, and then Don ended up in the hospital for 3 days, so it turned out we could not have gone even if it were accessible. We lived the day vicariously through the thoughtfulness of John who called and filled us in on the details of the event. We are happy our beloved Donna is now at rest and we look forward to seeing her again on the other side. She is alive in our hearts and memories always,
Love, BJ and Don Colbert
