It’s December, and nobody asked if I was ready.
~ Sarah Kay
December always seems to catch me feeling behind on everything. It helps to be in a place of peaceful waiting, as an awareness of Advent brings to me. Hope your December has some moments of peaceful waiting.


Tom and Linda Oleska and Fred and Beth Muhlemann showing off their scariest attire, attended the Enchanted Witches Ball held at the Helm Club.

Helm stopped off at Wheelhouse Grill prior to
Halloween festivities at the Helm Club.

I received some wonderful and fun photos of SBE residents enjoying a fun Halloween season, as I write this late October. What a fun theme: the Witches Ride and Enchanted Witches Ball!
Linda Oleska attended the Enchanted Witches Ball, and said the food and entertainment was excellent. Always fun to dress up and see everyone else’s costumes. They were quite clever.
Although most women were in black, Carol Donohue was daring and dressed in white! Perhaps she was emulating Glenda, the good witch in the Wizard of Oz.
Jane Johnson’s son, Scott, for 10 months has been struggling with flesh eating bacteria resulting in the loss of his right leg and foot, six inches from his knee.

Jane’s two great grandsons, Elliot, 3 and Carter, five months old
Jane says: “I am proud to say Scott has fought the problem and has kept a positive attitude. He is home now continuing with therapy and is able to walk with his shoe on the prosthetic. He lives in Illinois. I couldn’t visit so it was difficult for Mom, not being able to visit. I am hoping he will be able to visit with me next year. Lord willing.”
Wishing Scott a speedy recovery and adjustment to walking safely.
May everyone enjoy a blessed and safe Holiday this year.
