Call to Prayer<br />
_____________________________________________<br />
Slow me down, Lord! Ease the pounding of<br />
my heart by the quieting of my mind. Steady<br />
my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal<br />
reach of time. Give me, amidst the confusion of my<br />
day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the<br />
tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing<br />
music of singing streams that live in my memory.<br />
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations … of<br />
slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a<br />
friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines from a good<br />
book. Remind me each day of the fable of the hare<br />
and the tortoise, that I may know that the race is<br />
not always to the swift; that there is more to life<br />
than measuring speed. Let me look upward into<br />
the branches of the towering oak and know that<br />
it grew great and strong because it grew slowly<br />
and well. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to<br />
send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring<br />
values that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny. ~ Author Unknown<br />
Thank You<br />
Linda Fletcher, Social Committee Chairperson<br />

Summer – 2012<br />
Donna Cochran<br />
_____________________________________________________________________<br />
We started this year a<br />
little differently by<br />
electing a Chairpersonwhogoesnorthforthesummer<br />
and a Vice-Chairperson<br />
who is here year-round. Since<br />
ChairpersonLindaFletcherhad<br />
to leave for Michigan early in<br />
March, I ran theApril and May<br />
meetings. Those meetings were more casual than usual – formal is not my style – but I<br />
don’t think any of the residents minded. We laughed and ate cookies, and still had short<br />
meetings.<br />
Under my reign we had a Patio Party on April 5, featuring Mickey who did a wonderful<br />
job. About forty persons attended and thanks to your donations to the hat, Mickey<br />
was paid at a better rate than we had expected. Then a few days later we had the Easter<br />
dinner, another great success. In May and June we had Mother’s Day and Father’s Day<br />
Breakfasts.<br />
July brought the Fourth of July Dinner, which was delicious. On August 2 we had<br />
another Patio Party with Michael Hastings entertaining us. The weather was too warm<br />
to be on the patio so we moved into the clubhouse. We had only twenty-seven attendees,<br />
but we had fun.<br />
And finally, on August 12 we had a Continental Breakfast. We served sausage gravy<br />
with biscuits, a variety of baked goods, a large assortment of tropical fruits, coffee, tea,<br />
mimosas, and orange juice. We had the best committee ever: Lue Mauge, Milli Ricci,<br />
Ronnie Dittus, Paul and Janet Fether, John Boline and Carol Lemke, Judy Gray, my husband<br />
Bob and our son Casey. We sold thirty-eight tickets. Thanks to these volunteers.<br />
They are terrific.<br />
And thanks to you, Donna. You also are terrific!<br />

Scientists Ponder ‘I Dream, Therefore I Am’<br />
___________________________________________<br />
I think,<br />
therefore I am” is a fundamental concept of<br />
philosophy: We have to assume that we really exist,<br />
because we’re aware of our existence. But in neurological<br />
terms the idea is slipperier, because scientists<br />
haven’t been able to identify the area of the brain<br />
responsible for self-awareness.<br />
Research involving lucid dreaming may solve<br />
the mystery. Lucid dreamers are sleepers who are<br />
aware that they’re dreaming and can even control<br />
their dreams. Scientists at the Max Planck Institutes<br />
of Psychiatry in Munich are using magnetic image<br />
tomography to monitor activity of lucid dreamers in<br />
regions of the brain associated with self-reflective<br />
functions during consciousness. By comparing brain functions before and during lucid<br />
dreaming, the scientists hope to pin down how the brain knows it’s awake and aware.<br />

Safety Harbor Boys Home<br />
Bernie Pehl<br />
____________________________________________________<br />
HOW IT BEGAN AND OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THEM.<br />
(IT’S BEEN MORE THAN FOURTEEN YEARS<br />
NOW)<br />
Some years ago a local couple wanted to be missionaries.<br />
They were waiting for their church to assign them somewhere<br />
overseas.Alocal agency asked them to temporarily<br />
provide a foster home for a coup of abused children who<br />
had to be taken from their parents.<br />
Once they became involved they realized that there<br />
was a great need here and they decided to devote themselves<br />
to providing a loving environment for children who were abandoned or for some<br />
reason had to be removed by the state. These kids became their mission.<br />
Over the years the Safety Harbor Boys Home focused on boys who had special<br />
problems that made it difficult to place them with regular families. The home grew to<br />
accommodate twenty to twenty-five boys. A large ranch house was doubled in size by a<br />
local church and two mobiles were added for older boys who required less care.<br />
At Christmas time our Social Committee would donate money to our fire department<br />
for all the attention they gave us during the year. One year we were told that such gifts<br />
could no longer be accepted and the chief suggested some local causes that the firemen<br />
support for the holidays. We picked three. Held a dinner and took up a collection. We<br />
raised over $1,000 and gave it to the firemen to help in their efforts.<br />
The Safety Harbor Boys Home was one of the three. The other two were individuals<br />
whose needs were temporary. We had such positive feedback from the firemen about<br />
the joy the boys had with the Christmas presents that were purchased with our donations<br />
that we started to focus on the boys’ home every Christmas since then.<br />
Believe me, those boys really love what we are able to do for them. Some like to<br />
think of us as their grandparents. I know that the gifts they receive, thanks to you, are the<br />
first gifts some have ever received. Some are given a small amount and turned loose in a<br />
store to buy whatever they want with the ten or twenty dollars they have. I am told that<br />
some will spend their money on other boys. To see these kids is to see the face of God.<br />
I again ask you to help us by supporting the collection this year. You can make your<br />
check payable to the <strong>Amber</strong> <strong>Glades</strong> Boys’ Fund. The check can be given to me or any<br />
member of our Board of Directors. (Names and lot numbers are in the phone book.) We<br />
need to complete our collection by December 2. Call me if you have any questions.<br />
Thank you ever so much.<br />

Talking Back To The Sarge<br />
____________________________________________________________________<br />
A drill<br />
sergeant was walking past the company barracks late one evening when he<br />
heard voices inside. Angrily throwing open the door, he shouted at the recruits:<br />
“Listen up, maggots! When I say ‘Good night,’ what I really mean is, ‘Shut the<br />
h--- up!’ Understood?”<br />
The room was silent. Satisfied, the sergeant turned to leave.<br />
But before he could slam the door he heard one soft voice in the darkness: “Good<br />
night, Sarge!” (Provided by First Draft)<br />

Kitchen Report<br />
Rose and Herb Hendershot<br />
_________________________________________<br />
1. We’d like to thank Scott Barker and Park<br />
Management for purchasing a new Bunn<br />
Coffee system for our clubhouse. It’s here,<br />
but still has to be hooked up to a water line. We will continue with our regular<br />
coffee makers until we get used to using the new.<br />
2. Please do not put coffee cups or any other food or drink items on the cabinets<br />
by the sliding glass doors. There is audio equipment in the cabinets and we<br />
have already cleaned up spills that have been left to dry.<br />
3. Functions have started and already the kitchen and tables are not being cleaned<br />
properly. The chairperson of an event will be called to come back and tidy up.<br />
If you are a chairperson, you can appoint someone to clean up, but you are<br />
still the responsible person. Please check the clubhouse before you leave.<br />
Thanks!<br />

Don Does It Again!<br />
_____________________________________________________________________<br />
Sixty-two hungry persons were regaled at Sunday breakfast on October 14. Such a<br />
goodly crowd demonstrated the popularity of these events.<br />
The menu consisted of French Toast, Pancakes, and Sausage augmented by Fruit<br />
and Orange Juice plus all the coffee you could drink, ably served by our ever-vigilant<br />
waiters. No one went home hungry since extra pancakes were placed upon your plate<br />
without your even having to ask.<br />
We noticed quite a few new faces among the usual crew; a welcome sign and we are<br />
encouraged by their willingness to pitch in. We can’t always rely on the same persons to<br />
keep on doing it over and over again.<br />
We thank Don Horrigan and is tireless committee for providing us with his cheerful<br />
way to join with our neighbors on a Sunday morning.<br />
And now we have another surprise for you. Sharon and Nile Hochstetler are chairing<br />
another Sunday breakfast on November 4. The menu sounds new and exciting – a<br />
crescent roll wrapped around a sausage, potato casserole, and tomatoes. That’s enough<br />
to satisfy the heartiest appetite! There will also be fresh fruit, coffee or tea.<br />
Your Block Captain can supply you with tickets, which will cost $3. for members<br />
and $4. for non. Bring your own place setting and enjoy! We start serving at 9:00 a.m.<br />
See you there!<br />
A Lesson In Creativity From Mr. John Cleese<br />
___________________________________________________<br />
John Cleese, the star of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Fawlty<br />
Towers, and dozens of other comedy classics, knows something<br />
about being funny, and about being creative.<br />
He once told an audience at the Cannes International Festival<br />
of Creativity about the time he lost a script that he and Python<br />
co-star Graham Chapman had written together. Cleese had to<br />
quickly recreate it, and the resulting piece of writing turned<br />
out to be actually better than the original.<br />
“The only thing I could think,” he told his listeners, “was<br />
that my unconscious had been working on the sketch and improving it ever since I wrote<br />
it. I began to see a lot of my best work seemed to come as a result of my unconscious<br />
working on things when I wasn’t really attending to them.”<br />
Sometimes leaving a project along for a while can help you produce excellence.<br />

Federation of Manufactured Home Owners (FMO)<br />
Wayne Fletcher<br />
_____________________________________________________<br />
The Federation of Manufactured Home Owners (FMO) is a<br />
non-profit membership organization whose purpose is to<br />
protect manufactured home owners. The FMO is the only<br />
consumer advocacy association fighting to protect our rights. No<br />
other organization does what it does.<br />
The FMO lobbyist in Tallahassee watches for legislation that affects our lifestyle.<br />
The FMO gets its political strength from the number of members it has. It needs our support<br />
to continue to protect us and the lifestyle we’ve chosen.<br />
Every vigilant, FMO’s Board of Directors, lobbyist, and legal counsel keep watchful<br />
eyes on Tallahassee and on the industry, sentries that ensure that we remain safe at home.<br />
The FMO News, a magazine that provides important information about manufactured<br />
home living, is mailed directly to members six times a year. This publication is devoted to<br />
the manufactured home owner’s lifestyle and contains current information on legislative<br />
issues, legal cases, and consumer concerns.<br />
The dues are a mere twenty dollars per year – less than forty cents per week. Call<br />
me (Wayne Fletcher – 559-1306) and I’ll be glad to answer any concerns you may have<br />
and walk you through the procedure of becoming a member.<br />

Ginger Gustafson (Exercise Class)<br />
Reprint from the Newsletter of January, 1985<br />
_____________________________________________________________________<br />
Since I moved into the park four years<br />
ago I have worked on many committees.<br />
And have volunteered my<br />
services in a number of ways.<br />
In any group situation you have organizers,<br />
workers, followers, and do-nothing-ers. Which group do you fall into??? It’s<br />
always the same people who come forward to participate, while the rest do nothing but<br />
criticize. I understand now why so many (once active) residents have pulled back and<br />
refuse to become involved. THEY’VE HAD IT!<br />
It’s really too bad because there is a lot to talent here that could be an asset to the<br />
park. The Recreation Hall was always nicely decorated prior to my moving into <strong>Amber</strong><br />
<strong>Glades</strong>, and I’m sure it will continue to be in the future. I feel as though I have done my<br />
share in keeping the hall festive for whatever occasion arose that warranted it. However,<br />
I am now going into retirement as far as decorations are concerned, and I will no longer<br />
assume the responsibility.<br />
Last year shelves were installed in the closet in the Recreation Hall specifically<br />
to accommodate boxes of decorations. I moved everything out of the old storage shed,<br />
categorized, and marked each box for easy identification before placing them in the new<br />
location. It is so convenient now – no need to lug anything a great distance – and the ladders<br />
are located in the same room. So it should present no problem to anyone who wants<br />
to decorate the hall from here on in.<br />
I intend to continue to conduct the Exercise Classes five days a week, as I feel this<br />
is so very important to all of us in our senior years. It is not just for weight control, but<br />
for all around good health. Ask your doctor.<br />
I want to thank those of you who have helped and supported me in my efforts.<br />
Thank you.<br />
EDITOR’S NOTE: In perusing this issue of the Newsletter, we find that Ginger appears<br />
to be the only person from that era who is a resident today with the exception of myself.<br />
My husband and I moved into <strong>Amber</strong> <strong>Glades</strong> in November, 1983 and became permanent<br />
Florida residents in June 1984. I became editor of the Newsletter in January, 1985 and<br />
have been at it intermittently ever since. If you, or anyone you know of, was a resident at<br />
that time and is still with us, we’d like to hear from you. (Jeanne Frymire 726-1912).<br />
My husband passed away in October, 1996.<br />
