LAKES ON ELDRIDGE NORTH VOLUNTEER GROUP
The residents of Lakes on Eldridge North have formed a team to
help our neighbors, as well as support the many Frontliners in our
community.
If you are in need of assistance (essentials shopping, masks or errands),
let us know. If you want to help, we can always use some
more members to make masks, run errands or help with projects.
Contact us at LOENVolunteers@gmail.com.
LAKES ON ELDRIDGE DOLPHINS SWIM TEAM
Please make sure you check out our website https://loedolphins.
swimtopia.com to register and to find out anything and everything
about the LOE Dolphins!!!
SWANS CAN BE DANGEROUS
This time of the year, Mother Nature provides our LOE swans with
some common sense. It is mating, nesting, then egg-laying season
and they feel the need to protect their territory against predators
including humans, dogs and other waterfowl. Most of the swans
in our neighborhood are not old enough to mate but some will go
through the motions of even building a nest. The pairs of swans
that are old enough to produce young (cygnets) are normally gentle
and can be fed while posing no threat. However, our males
(cobs) will become aggressive and territorial in trying to protect
their mate and their nest. This is usually temporary until mating
season is over. If you are walking past a lake and a swan swims
to your side and follows you, BEWARE! If you see a swan with his
neck back and feathers up such as the one in the picture, please
stay away, do not attempt to feed him and walk on the other side
of the street as he is in ATTACK position. Please warn your nannies
and sitters not to stroll babies around the swans. We must try to
remember that the swans are protecting their territory and readying
it for their young. To antagonize, tease, throw objects at or injure
the swans is a felony and we need to be as cautious of them
as they are to us. Thank you for your cooperation.

JUST FOR TODAY By Dear Abby
This is one of the more popular requested columns from the famous advice columnist Dear Abby. Read
on: “Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones
and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which
were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon:
Just for today
I will live through this day only. I will
not brood about yesterday or obsess
about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching
goals or try to overcome all of my
problems at once. I know that I can
do something for 24 hours that would
overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for
a lifetime.
Just for today
I will be happy. I will not dwell on
thoughts that depress me. If my mind
fills with clouds, I will chase them away
and fill it with sunshine.
Just for today
I will refrain from improving anybody
but myself.
Just for today
I will accept what is. I will face reality. I
will correct those things that I can correct
and accept those I cannot.
Just for today
I will improve my mind. I will read something
that requires effort, thought and concentration.
I will not be a mental loafer.
Just for today
I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I
will be kind and courteous to those who cross
my path and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will
improve my appearance, speak softly and not
interrupt when someone else is talking.
Just for today
I will gather the courage to do what is right and
take responsibility for my own actions.
Just for today
I will do something positive to improve my
health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight,
I will eat healthfully - if only just for today.
And not only that, I will get off the couch
and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around
the block.

Glazed Apple
Cream Pie
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (15 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter, softened
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream and 1/4 cup butter. Heat until butter is
melted, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla; stir into saucepan. Cook
until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour and cinnamon. Mix well. Line a 9
inch pie pan with pie dough. Pour thickened filling mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Arrange apple mixture evenly over filling.
Top with second crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and
apples are tender. Cool for at least 30 minutes.
In small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Blend until
smooth; pour evenly over warm pie. Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours before serving (longer is better). Source: allrecipes.com
