Holiday Greetings
Monday, December 6, 2010
Getting into the spirit of the holidays...
As were were decoarating outdoors this weekend, I remembered a song that seems to hit the nail on the head about the "preparation" part of the season...

Thanksgiving Leftovers...
TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION, THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR, AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES, PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND, 'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY, WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....
HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.
Thank you to Wilma Crawford who shared this delightful poem - JSH Editor

So long, farewell, auf Wiedershen, good bye....
Ahh, it was a gorgeous final weekend at JSH. The sun was shining, the leaves were falling, and there was a Halloween party in the pavilion!! A great turnout of people came for Z&B's gathering of ghosts and ghouls.
If anyone took pictures, send 'em over and we'll get them posted.
If anyone has announcements or pictures they would like to share....please keep the info coming. Otherwise, you might be subjected to my rambling about who knows what...

There's Still Time to Get to JSH!
Also enclosed is a picture of the ocean during the most recent storm that passed by....it was beautiful. The weather was perfect for this past weekend, all enjoyed themselves and stayed over until Monday or Tuesday a nice group. People are closing up and it is a quiet, sad time here. Screen houses are piling up in the storage room and lots are looking barren. Deer have been spotted in the nearby woods and the turkeys are back. - Betsy Behler, Guest Editor

ADOPT A SITE - 2011
The purpose of the program is to help clean-up and beautify these sites for guests that come into JSH, and may want to stay longer! We would like to have volunteers "adopt" and take care of a site of their choice. This will also include repairing the barriers between sites; we can get trees and bushes from our own woods to replant!
More information along with the available sites slated for the program will be posted in the Spring of 2011.
Anyone interested in adopting one of the sites, please feel free to contact Jim Davis at jim@davistrophies.com
