Sun City Folks-Jewell and Casey

Casey invited me into his wide circle of friends in 2002 when he Diamond Backs were winning the World Series. Jewell with our Diamond Back towel could really whip up the enthusiasm even as she does every day in fighting the good fight. Whatever obstacles she faces she faces with good cheer and she serves as an example to the rest of us as how to navigate the road that we travel..
They will walk a mile with you--

"And who will walk a mile with me
Along life's weary way?
A friend whose heart has eyes to see
The stars shine out o'er the darkening leas,
And quiet rest at the end of day,
A friend who knows and dares to say,
The brave sweet words that cheer the way
Where they walk a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend,
I fain would walk to journey's end,
Through summer sunshine, winter rain,
And then farwell, we shall meet again !"

Solar news for Court

As you can see I scanned a 02-21-08 Arizona Republic editorial--poorly. I picked the paper up at a cafe and I knew that the article would be of interest to my grandson, Court. The paper was in disaray and even though I was sober when I put it on the scanner- it is what it is.

Never send to know for whom the bells toll

John Donne-1593-1631

"No man is an island, entire of it self:
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main:
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promotory were,
As well as if a manor of thy friends or
Thine own were.
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
The bells toll
It tolls for thee."

Sun City Folks-Genelle Jensen & Jerry

In happier times, one year ago at my birthday party hosted by Summer, Brigid and Dan.

Genelle is the one you want to turn to if you want a task completed. A tireless worker and great organizer, Genelle is responsible for the success of the Sunday Evening Dance Club at Bell.
She also organized most of the dance lessons sessions by Frank Romani. We served together as officers of the Sun City Singles Dance Club.
Last year her and Jerry traveled to many of the most historic sites in Russia.

I like this passage that I repeat it quite often-it is from the search for the Holy Grail.

It is Genelle in word and deed.

"The Holy Supper is kept indeed,
In whatso'er we share with another's need
Not what we give, but what we share
For the Gift without the giver is bare
Who gives himself with his gifts feeds three
Himself, his hungering neighbor and THEE-(the Christ)"

Genelle suffered an anuryism earlier this month and is confined to bed rest so let us remember the line from Old English-

"What are men, better than sheep or goats, if knowing God we lift not hands of prayers for those we love and those we call a friend."

We lift our hands of prayer for thee,Genelle.

Sun City Folks-Loma Mosser

"The Holy Supper is kept indeed,

In whatsoe'r we share with another's need.

Not what we give, but what we share-

For the gift without the giver is bare

Who gives himself with his gift feeds three-

Himself, his hungering neighbor and Thee"

Loma Mosser gives herself with her gifts in every way and every day.If someone needs someone to take them to the doctor-Loma is there. Loma is everywhere on the behalf of one and all.

Some years ago I organized a birthday party on her behalf. She had been down and a friend, Norma, encouraged her to go out to dinner with her at the Heidelberg Inn. That was an accomoplishment in itself. Unbeknown to Loma we had some 40 well wishers waiting in the bar and she was truly amazed as all of us moved in.

Since then she has hosted birthday parties for more people than I can recall but I do recall that last Monday night she hosted a surprise party for Ray Cole and me at the American Legion.

She has been president of the Mouring Club and and officer and president of the

Sun City Singles Dance Club since 2003.

A word of concern and care from Loma moves us all along life's way. Thank you, Loma. Your the greatest!!!

Eighteenth wedding aniversary

Summer, Brigid and Dan on Thanksgiving day-2007

A few verses come to mind when I view this family.

"Drop a stone into the water-
In a moment it is gone,
But there are a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,

Say an unkind word this moment-
In a moment it is gone
But there are a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,

Say a word of cheer and splendor-
In a moment it is gone
But there are a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on...

This family radiates cheer and splendor.

From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran-

"There are those wo give with joy, and
that joy is their reward
Through the hands of such as these God
speaks, and from behind their eyes He
smiles upon the earth.....

For in truth it is life that gives unto
life-while you, who deem yourself a giver,
are but a witness.

And you receivers- and you are all
receivers-assume no weight of gratitude,
lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon
him who gives.
Rather rise together with the giver on
his gifts as on wings;
For to be overmindful of your debt, is
to doubt his generosity who has the free-
hearted earth for mother, and God for
father."
