Goodbye Becca

Becca Sunday, our Resident Services Director leaves to

 accept a new position in Alabama.  Becca has been a

 real asset to the Village, and has made many friends

 since she has been here.  We will all miss her.  

High Flying Rockets

The Village was entertained Sunday afternoon with an exciting model rocket demonstration by Ed Hansen.  Ed is an experienced builder and flyer of model rockets, and we appreciate his effort to make this event possible.  Fun was had by all, and it's a good event for all ages. We hope Ed will schedule another event in the near future.   

Chief Rocket Launcher Makes Ready

Blast Off

Good Recovery

The parachute is ejected and the rocket lands safely.  Because of the wind, the drift often times carries the rocket a good distant from launch site.  Ed had a good team of recovery men.  You should have seen those old guys running after the parachute.  

The Big Launch

Back to the Drawing Board

Too bad the charge to eject the parachute failed and the rocket fell to earth without a parachute safe landing.  The damage looked bad, but Ed says that repair is possible and the rocket will fly again.  

Rice University Art Gallery

This past May we had an opportunity to visit the  Rice University Art Gallery, which was our first.

Our son, Nash does some photographic work for the Gallery and we were able to meet some of the staff and view and up coming event.

I won't attempt to explain this exhibit, but it's an outstanding display by an artist named Mark Fox.

Blytheville History Lesson

Two lessons on the history of Blytheville, with lots of interesting facts about Blytheville and the northeastern delta of Arkansas.  The classes were made possible through Arkansas Northeastern College and were taught by Jonathan Abbott of Blytheville.  Mr. Abbott has a vast  knowledge  of the Blytheville area, and did an outstanding job.  Attendance was good and the programs were enjoyed by all.

The classes were available not only to Westminster redidents, but the general public as well, and attendance was good.  Everyone thinks we should have more events like this.  Thanks to Becca Sundy the resident relations director for Westminster, and Sharon Stevens of ANC, and all who helped make this program possible.

Thursday's Bridge Less One

Cloody, Wilda, and Vicky for bridge along with a crazy Christmas catus.   We have had this plant for a number of years, and it's supposed to bloom at Christmas, but it always blooms about Thanksgiving.  This year it's early, but as beautiful as ever. 

I'm the missing fourth for Bridge.   

This plants stays outdoors in the summer and is brought indoors before the first frost.  This year it started blooming almost immediately after after being brought indoors.   I tell myself that I must repot it each year, but for some strange reason I fail to follow through. It seems to thrive on negelect, and Cloody loves it.
