Young@Heart Day Trip–November 19,2013

This month we enjoyed our “Annual Mystery Trip”. I promised everyone that we’d see something older than us and have a delicious meal! We certainly did that and I think everyone enjoyed the trip.

First, we visited the Cincinnati Museum Center to enjoy the Dinosaurs Exhibit. Generally, I prefer the Creation Museum for Dinosaurs, but found this exhibit very interesting and informative, after I learned to overlook all the mentions of “Millions of Years”. There were lots of exhibits of actual fossils and many recreations of the skeletons.

We arrived a little early to allow for a break, then began our tour at 10am. We toured the exhibits and some even had time for a coffee break until noon.

At noon, we departed from the Museum Center for Grand Finale. This is a favorite eatery for Nancy and I. They specialize to good food and the “Finale” is always outstanding!  Of course, this is one of their many famous and delicious desserts.

Interestingly, we spent as much time, maybe a little more, at the restaurant as we did at the museum. We had excellent and fun service. The only complaint is their skimpy parking. But our driver, Andrew Roberts, was able to get our bus in the lot and out again, later.  I think everyone truly enjoyed this Mystery Day Trip.

Next month, we are going to LaComedia to enjoy their Christmas Musical Extravaganza! Be sure to sign-up and join us.

Young @ Heart Program–November 12, 2013

We had a great program this month for Young at Heart. Great music, fun times, good music and our Thanksgiving Turkey.

To start, Grace Averitt played a nice selection of music, appropriate for this season, on the Piano. Grace is our regular Sunday Morning Pianist and plays for the worship services and for the choir.  You can hear most of the piano music HERE!

After this we did our normal opening program including a couple of very nice solos, sung by Hadley Gammie.

Hadley’s two solos are available for your listening pleasure, HERE!

We were pleased to hear from our Lead Pastor (AKA, Senior Pastor) David Kisner. He brought us a very nice devotional about How we as Seniors can Finish Well. His message is available at this Link.

This was followed by a fantastic Thanksgiving Meal in the dining area provided by our kitchen staff and served by a number of volunteers, including those from 5/3 Bank.

Our December Christmas program is going to be a very special musical and drama program. Nancy and Mark & Grace Averitt are planning this with the help of Marlene Williams for the drama. You will not want to miss this fun musical program. Bring friends, too. Of course, we will also have an appropriate meal for the Christmas Season.
