Game Time Tuesday

May is…gone already?

Summer is officially here, you might say.  It’s hard to believe this is the last day of May, yet, here we are.

Eddie celebrated his 19th birthday Monday with his family. His signature gift was a baritone ukulele (see picture).koloa-baritone-ukulele

We also spent a fun Saturday at the Utica Sertoma Ice Cream Festival and were happy to be part of the Mount Vernon Memorial Day Parade.

Congratulations to our winners for Game Time Tuesday: Lisa from Danville and Beth from Howard both won $5 gift certificates to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.  Our Song Poetry song was ‘Great is Our God’ by Plumb, and our Name that Tune song was ‘It’s Not Over Yet’ by For King and Country.

Today’s Word of the Day is MUGWUMP (just like it sounds), a noun that is 1800’s slang for a person who cannot make up his or her mind; someone indecisive.

Thanks for listening!
