While a lot of the group will be venturing in Alaska on July 17th, I thought the rest of us might venture to a new restaurant in the Evergreen area. It is called Dragonfly. Vicki Rasmussen has been and thought it was nice. It is high class Chinese. So lets give it a whirl.
Who: Anyone wanting to eat and visit with LM friends
What: Family style Chinese dinner
Where: Dragonfly located in the building where the new Kragen went in at Quimby and White (SW corner of the intersection)
When: Thursday, July 17th at 6:30 pm RSVP Joan if you can make it so she won't go alone.
Why: Because I signed up to plan something in July.
Maybe Coldstone for dessert if it is a nice evening.??????
Kid's Korner

Washington. Mathew and Paula Hennig are moving July 2nd to Iowa,
same company just different location and they are thrilled.

Music in the Circle
at Evergreen Village (Lunardi's) on Ruby
There are free
live performances every Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 through August.
July's line up includes:
Vintage Brass Quartet doing a Patriotic Show 7/3
Blackbird Jazz Band doing 1930's Blues and Jazz
Pale Moon Sky doing acoustical rock
The Road Dogs doing Rock and Roll 70's -90's hits
Principle doing Columbian and Tex- Mex music.
Joan has been to two performances so far and reports it affords a lovely sit in the circle (bring lawn stuff or use the permanent structures), lots of people to watch and pleasant music. A new ice cream parlor is coming soon. She assumes it is similar to Cold Stone.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
(George Carlin)
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
