By Velma Pauley Chronicle contributor The Crossville Chronicle Wed Jun 06, 2012, 01:31 PM CDT

CROSSVILLE — The 127 South Seniors met June 1 for bingo, dominos, coffee, sweets and conversation. Quality Health Care furnished the gifts, and Arlene Simmons and Wendell Lester called the numbers. Fred Zoeller, president, opened the regular meeting, with Annie Lewis giving the prayer and Leroy Hinkson leading the pledge to the flag.

Jan Neitzke gave the trips report. June 12 will be the next trip, which will be to Murfreesboro and Bell Buckle. July 10-12 will be to Helen, GA, with stops at Babyland General Hospital (Cabbage Patch Kids), Warm Springs and Callaway Gardens plus the shops at Helen. The August trip will be to Nashville's RCA Studio B and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The September will be to McMinnville (Falcon Rest) to take part in the Honeymoon Ball of General John Hunt Morgan. Cost is $50 for this and dinner is included. October is the big trip planned for the Grand Canyon and other points of interest.

On Nov. 6 the seniors will head back to Nashville for a show at the Ryman Auditorium. This is sold out at the present time. Dec. 11 will be the trip to see Smoky Mountain Opry Christmas Show at Pigeon Forge. Cost is $65, which is due Oct. 26.

Please keep the following on your prayer list: Pat Mount, Pat Ferguson and Dot Conklin. Remember the next game day will be June 26. Guests were Jack Kirkland, Barbara and Bunk Wolfe. Remember to buy Kroger coupons, bring in items for the 127 Sale and listen to bluegrass music for free every Thursday night at the senior center. The picnic will be July 20 at Obed Park for members only.

Sandy DeVine announced the birthdays and anniversaries for June, with Gwen Flynn at the piano. Rose Garchow announced she has tickets for Music of the Cumberlands for July 17 and Aug. 7. Cost is $10 for each show, which helps the senior center.

Jan Neitzke will be at the senior center June 11 at 6 p.m. to discuss the trip to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The talented Classy Country Strings provided the entertainment. After the table blessing, Sharon Hilton and her kitchen helpers served hamburger casserole and

breaded pork chops. Please no desserts for Friday, June 8.

Plateau Gardening: Transplanting tips
My landscape is perennial–based. There are vines, trees, shrubs as well as herbaceous (soft-stemmed) vegetation in assorted categories-ornamentals, herbs and food crops like rhubarb. Annuals in containers are used to add splashes of color. At this time of year, I usually have a few recently purchased plants waiting to be transplanted (see the accompanying photo).

Fair Park offering help for senior dog owners
A dog is a senior's best friend. Family and friends are not around much, and everyone is so busy. After retirement the free time seems to be longer. Many seniors would be very lonely if it was not for their four-legged friends. Dogs are a big part of the family, so they need to learn to be obedient to make it easier on the relationship.
