Spring has arrived! At least that is what the calendar said. One has to wonder if anyone ever has said, "Spring is here to stay? We have one or even several of those nice spring-like days and then Old Man Winter decides that is enough of that and comes blowing in. There are times when I am sure it is here to stay. For instance, the other morning when I opened the outside door and the screen door was filled with Asian beetles. (I used to call them ladybugs.) They do look alike but their dispositions are exactly the opposite! However, they are here, regardless if it is spring. The best thing we can do is get some insect spray. Don’t forget to enjoy the spring-like weather and think Spring!Steen Senior Citizens had their April meeting on Monday afternoon at the community building. Cards and games were played.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Dorothy Bos on the death of her sister, Gertrude DeBoer, who passed away on Saturday, March 26. Do you ever have a day when nothing goes right? I am sure we have all experienced that. I found this article "One of Those Days" and want to share it with you. We all know misery likes company!"Ever have one of those days when things don’t seem to go (or come) your way? Each of us has his or her fair share every now and then. The problem is that most of the time it is hard for us to cope with ‘those days.’ What force or philosophy can best be used to get the most out of these less-than-satisfactory situations? One method in particular is illustrated by what Henry Ward Beecher once said: Good-humor makes all things tolerable. And he makes a good point. When we look for the humor in situations, when we see something positive in every experience, we can learn to overcome our pessimism and negative feelings. We can control the situation instead of letting it control us." We just have to remember we are all in this together so let us try to make the best of a bad situation.
