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 />

Social Club Activities<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 />
