November 2019

Friends,

This month promises many opportunities to be thankful and show gratitude. Many of us will be spending time with our kids, our grandkids, and others we love. Let’s take time to reach out to our friends who will be spending the holiday alone, invite them to join you, or set a time when you can do something enjoyable together.

We have many things scheduled this month for fun & fellowship. Tickets for our December 10th fundraiser, the Lake Ridge Ladies Christmas Home Tour, go on sale for $20 this month. You will be able to purchase them at Lake Ridge Chapel & Memorial Designers. We challenge each of you to purchase just one ticket to support our organization. If you are not able to go, your purchase of a ticket will be donated to ladies who would not be able to go otherwise. Invite your friends, and pass the word around. We are hoping for the largest turnout ever!

I pray that your Thanksgiving is blessed with joy and togetherness with all those you hold dear. Much love to you, my special friends!

Love,

GayleSantos Moreno

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have

into enough and more. It turns denial into

acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to

clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a

house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”

Melody Beattie

Sharing Loss, Sharing LifeREMEMBERING THROUGH LIVING

Flu Shot for Seniors: What You Should Know This SeasonInfluenza, or the flu, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by one of the influenza viruses. The flu ranges from being mild to severe and can cause severe complications for children, seniors, and people with other health conditions.Currently, the best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each year. There are flu vaccinations for individuals 6 months of age and up, but there are special flu vaccinations for seniors to provide additional protection.The flu vaccination for seniors is a specially tailored shot designed to meet the unique medical needs of seniors. These shots have a higher dose than traditional flu vaccines. This is important because seniors often have suppressed immune systems. Also, seniors are susceptible to complications, such as pneumonia.These complications could lead to long and expensive hospitalizations – and a host of other problems, and they can even be fatal.Why Should Seniors Get the Flu Shot?Seniors should get the flu shot for the following reasons:• The flu can be particularly troublesome and dangerous for seniors.• These enhanced flu shots dramatically reduce the risk of contracting the flu. Studies have indicated

different percentage declines when taking flu vaccinations for seniors.• These specialized flu shots mean that if you do get the flu, your symptoms will likely be milder, but there

is still no guarantee.• The risks of the flu are large compared to the side effects from the vaccine, which are typically extremely

mild. Source: WebMD

FEATURED MEMBER

Rhonda HaysRicky Napper and I came to know each other in the summer of 2008. I lived in Stillwater, OK, and he lived in Lubbock. At the time, he was working in Tulsa, OK, as a catastrophic storm adjuster. We met online so he asked me out on a date and said he would come over. I was a little hesitant but decided I’d give it a try.

Rick was a very quiet person. Therefore, our first date seemed to last forever. I was pretty exhausted at the end of the evening because I had tried to carry on a two-way conversation that seemed to consist of only myself. I had reached the point of just wanting him to leave and head back to Tulsa. When our evening at last came

to an end, I was so excited, and I walked him to the door. Just as I was shutting the door, he asked if he could see me again. This caught me totally off guard! I didn’t know what to say so I said yes.

To this day, I am so thankful I said yes. All the days after that day were some of the happiest and best days of my life. We married in Stillwater on July 13, 2009, and moved to Oklahoma City where we lived for 6 years. In July 2015, we moved to Lubbock. His job as an adjuster took him all over the US. The first year we were married, I continued to teach so I might not see him for a couple of months. That only lasted one year. I retired so I could travel with him or at least fly out to where he may be working.

We had a wonderful life together, and I always felt like I was on a honeymoon, always seeing new places and experiencing new adventures and making new memories. What more could a girl want! Not seeing him for a few weeks and then flying out to be with him and seeing him waiting on me when I got off the plane would always make my heart skip a few beats. Every time this happened, I wondered how I could love him more, but it seems I always could. It seemed like we could read each other’s minds and even finish each other’s sentences. Every day I just became more in love with Rick.

I had no idea my time with Rick would be limited to only 9 years. I had planned on so much more time. On June 1, 2008, I received one of those phone calls no one ever wants to receive. Rick had fallen off a ladder while inspecting a roof in Akron, OH. I flew out immediately. This was one reunion that was definitely not a happy one. Rick was paralyzed from the neck down. After almost two months in hospitals in OH and CO, Rick lost his fight and passed away on July 20, 2018. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him, and I miss him so much, but what peace I do have is knowing that he is in a better place and is no longer in pain.

WITTY WORDS FOR WISE WOMEN

I need the Word of God in my heart, in mymind, and in my soul every single day.

BuncoBunco is a dice game that is easy to play and very easy to learn! Bunco is usually played with a small money pot, but we bring a white elephant or re-gift for our prizes. We bring our gift in a pretty little gift bag. The prizes are always fun to win and even more fun to bring! We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month at Lake Ridge Chapel & Memorial Designers.

Saturday BrunchSaturday Brunch - Join your friends at 11am on the 2nd Saturday of each month. The event locations are on the calendar.Hilton Garden Inn | 6027 45th

Dutch DinnerDutch Dinner is another opportunity to share a meal together in the middle of the month and meet new friends. We meet at a different restaurant every month. The date, time and location can be found on the monthly calendar. There are many of our Ladies who work or have other obligations during the day and cannot participate in our game days or outings. This dinner was planned for you!

Friendship GroupsLife is so much better when it is shared with others, through strong relationships and living life to the fullest every day. We have 6 groups to choose from. You can go to one or all. Join us for the Lunch Bunch, Mall Walkers, Movie Club, Book Club, Weight Loss & Support Group, and Wine & Dine. For information about the groups, call 806-698-8085.

Movie DayJoin us for a Movie Day with friends! You will receive a text with the movie, date, and time. Tickets are bought in advance so you will need to RSVP to Marilyn Jamison @ 806-535-7080. If you are not on the list to be called, you can call Lake Ridge Chapel at 806-698-8085 to be added.

Weight Loss Support GroupWe meet every Monday 9am at Lake Ridge Chapel to privately weigh in, tally our total weight loss as a group, celebrate our successes, share our challenges, and discuss our plans for the week. We encourage you to join us if you have a lot of weight to lose or just a few pounds. It is easier when you have accountability and a supportive group of friends. Our goal is to be as healthy as we can possibly be.

Supper at SixThis is dinner and cocktails where Lake Ridge Ladies and Lake Ridge Men meet at a different restaurant each month on the 1st Wednesday of the month. It is Dutch so you pay for your own dinner and drinks. This is another great opportunity to meet with friends!
