It was all in the name of fun
and "hi-jinks" when about a dozen
Mason Lake Drive East folks got
together August 31 to have their
sunflower growing efforts judged.
According to contest rules, seeds
were to be planted no earlier than
June 1. To insure no one's feel-
ings were hurt, all six entries won
some sort of prize.
The coveted Singing Sunflower
trophy went to Bob and Lola
Johnson for tallest with nine
blooms. First place went to Joe
and Barb Bordeaux, with Norm
and Margie Coselman taking the
Award for Excellence. Best Dead
Flower category went to John and
Jean Moore, followed closely by
Jerry and Mary Jo Nelson who
won Best Flower on the Fake
side. Bill and Shirley Newman re-
ceived an award for Best Import-
ed Flower, with no mention of
where they got their flower.
JUDGING COMMENCED at
1:30 p.m., with a progressive din-
ner filling the rest of the after-
noon. Admittedly, a few bribes
were passed around involving
judges Leonard Patricelli, Buck
Killenger and Gene Vandermolen,
but all participants remained
friendly and gracefully accepted
their prizes, which were given out
during the dessert course at the
Nelsons.
Many relatives and friends at-
tended the 50th Anniversary cele-
bration for Grace and Harold
Holm on Sunday, August 22. A
party was held at the Mason-Ben-
son Clubhouse exactly 50 years
plus one day from the date of
their wedding. The couple started
out married life in Mayville,
North Dakota, but moved to Seat-
tle in the early 50s when Harold
took a job with Boeing. While
raising their three children,
Grace filled her spare time work-
ing as a hairdresser in the Belle-
vue-Redmond area. They decided
to retire in 1990 and spend part
of the year living in their home at
Mason Lake. The winter months
will find them off enjoying
sunshine in Mesa, Arizona.
In other news: From Wanda
Morris on Mason Lake Drive East
- she reported the theft of a Ka-
wasaki jet ski and wooden cart
from her beach on Saturday
night, September 18. She wanted
to alert residents to be especially
careful if they are in the habit of
leaving valuable items on the
beach over night. She asks that
anyone with information regard-
ing the stolen jet please contact
Wanda or John at 426-0752.
A talented group of ladies who
have been sharpening their skills
playing eight-handed piano per-
formed following dinner at the
Friday, September 17, Senior So-
cial Group potluck. The arrange-
ments for this musical specialty
involved four completely different
parts all blended to produce a
miniature piano orchestra effect.
For more than two years, April
Cassell, Iris Little and Lilis No-
gler have been meeting to prac-
tice eight-handed piano at the
home of Mary Beth Morris.
Most fortunately, Mary Beth's
house has two pianos, a very ira-
portant requirement for this ac-
tivity. Friday night's program in-
cluded a Rondo by Friedrich Sme-
tana, a spirited Scott JopIin Rag
Rhapsody, and a little encore of
"Happy Birthday" acknowledging
those celebrating in the month of
September.

Have you noticed the leaves
starting to change color? Even
with these beautiful days time
marches on and fall is heading
our way.
A couple of days ago my hus-
band and I were heading home
when we spotted an apple tree
near the road, so we decided to
come back and check it out. We
believe it's part of the old Green
holnestead at the head of Dewatto
Bay. Back we went, tromping
through the woods• We weren't
sure we'd find the tree, but after a
couple of wrong turns, there we
were. The apples weren't as big as
they looked, but, we had fun
tracking them down. We also
checked out the pluln trees, which
we harvested last year. This year,
however, there aren't many
plulns. Must have been the
weather we had this spring.
Fortunately, I ditln't have to
depend on the old apple trees. My
sister had a bumper crop this
year which she shared. I have to
tell you how she had such a great
crop, even though it" she reads
this next paragraph I may have
written my last column, as she
will probably break both my
arms. Oh well!
My sister, Lillian, is an avid
gardener. She works in her yard
constantly which shows. She also
reads everything she can get her
hands on about gardening. She
comes up with lots of ideas to try.
Some of them must work because
she has great results, but this one
is really a head shaker. She has
four apple trees which have been
okay producers until this year.
This spring she read about this
method to get your fruit trees to
produce more. She took a rolled-
up newspaper and headed out to
her tree and with the newspaper
she whacked the trunks of her ap-
ple trees. She swears that's why
she had such a great crop. Who
am I to argue with her since I
reaped the results? Whacking a
tree trunk with rolled-up newspa-
per, I don't know!!
Our neighbors Jim and Bonnie
Taylor, have visitors from Califor-
nia. Bonnie's sisters Chloe an
Muffy are here for a week. Jim
and Bonnie decided to take the
sisters to a baseball game to show
off the new Safeco Field. Jim also
has a daughter who is a real base-
ball buff. Kim has MS, so she
doesn't get out and about much.
They were able to arrange for a
cabulance to transport Kim from
Puyallup to Safeco Field and back
home. Even though the Mariners
didn't have the greatest season,
they all enjoyed their day at Sat'c-
co Field. Kim was able to stay
and enjoy the game through sev-
en innings. We're all happy that
Kim was able to enjoy a day with
her dad and being able to see her
favorite baseball team and Safeco
Field.
I almost forgot the most im-
portant news of the week. The
fish are jumping in the bay. I
don't know how all those fisher-
men hear about it but the bay has
been very busy with fishermen
trying to catch something. They
are lucky the weather is so good
because it looks like the most that
is being caught is either a chill or
maybe a sea run cutthroat.
Okay, I know enough is
enough. See you next week. Any
comments you have you can
either call me at 360-372-2645,
fax 360-372-2581 or e-mail me at

up newspaper and headed out to
her tree and with the newspaper
she whacked the trunks of her ap-
ple trees. She swears that's why
she had such a great crop. Who
am I to argue with her since I
reaped the results? Whacking a
tree trunk with rolled-up newspa-
per, I don't know!!
Our neighbors Jim and Bonnie
Taylor, have visitors from Califor-
nia. Bonnie's sisters Chloe an
Muffy are here for a week. Jim
and Bonnie decided to take the
sisters to a baseball game to show
off the new Safeco Field. Jim also
has a daughter who is a real base-
ball buff. Kim has MS, so she
doesn't get out and about much.
They were able to arrange for a
cabulance to transport Kim from
Puyallup to Safeco Field and back
home. Even though the Mariners
didn't have the greatest season,
they all enjoyed their day at Sat'c-
co Field. Kim was able to stay
and enjoy the game through sev-
en innings. We're all happy that
Kim was able to enjoy a day with
her dad and being able to see her
favorite baseball team and Safeco
Field.
I almost forgot the most im-
portant news of the week. The
fish are jumping in the bay. I
don't know how all those fisher-
men hear about it but the bay has
been very busy with fishermen
trying to catch something. They
are lucky the weather is so good
because it looks like the most that
is being caught is either a chill or
maybe a sea run cutthroat.
Okay, I know enough is
enough. See you next week. Any
comments you have you can
either call me at 360-372-2645,
fax 360-372-2581 or e-mail me at
