It’s Friday afternoon, July 24th, and the thermometer on top of the Cambridge Telephone Company reads 104 degrees! I was surprised to learn that July is the hottest month in Idaho. I always thought it had to be August. But what do I know? It’s too hot for me to even think.
All I can say is thank heavens for fans and air conditioning. If you know an elderly person who lives alone, you might want to check in with them and ask how they are faring in the heat. I assume that everyone has at least a rotating fan, but maybe not. That’s where we healthy seniors need to be proactive with our elderly friends and neighbors. Think about who you might want to check in with on these hot days of summer. I’m sure they will be glad you thought of them.
The Washington County Fair starts this week on Monday, July 27, and will run through Wednesday, August 1st. While we have normally had a Taco Feed Fundraiser during fair week, we have decided to forgo the one this year. Maybe next year?
My computer keeps shutting down on me, so I’m going to have to finish this column as quickly as I can. Our next BINGO game will be on Thursday, August 6th from 6 to 8:00 p.m. Everyone, including kids, is welcome to join us. If you are looking for a fun activity you can take the kids to, this might be it. Call (208) 257-3358 if you would like more information.
Our Tai Chi group meets on MWF at 11:00 a.m. If you want to join in, just show up at the exercise space in the back of the center. Then on August 11th, the Fit and Fall Proof class will start up again, but it will be held in the exhibit hall at the Washington County fairgrounds. The class was so popular, we just didn’t have enough room for the people who showed up here at the center. Stay tuned for more information.
