The Parish Senior Dining and Activity Center started the week out with a “Grandparent’s Tea” on Monday.  Many of those gathered embedded trinkets of all sorts into molds of cement creating garden stepping stones together.  The next day the guests painted terracotta pots using their own creativity and stencils.  Now they are all set for the tomato plants that were started weeks ago.  Did you hear the singing coming from the center on Thursday?  Marion Popp was leading and playing the keyboard with the singing of many ol’ favorites.  They all look forward to the next sing-a-long.
