[Eoscstudents] Menu for TGI Friday. April 16 Grill Open

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

I'm back after taking a day off to attend a cousin's funeral.  The sad 
thing is, he was in really great shape up until a few months ago, then 
they found a mass in his brain, and in only a few short months we had 
lost him.  And he was one of those wonderful people who always helped 
others before himself.  It would be such a wonderful thing if a cure 
could be found for cancer before we lose another wonderful person like 
my cousin, Buddy.  Your contribution to and participation in Relay for 
Life, coming up on May 21, will help make this a reality. 

On a brighter note, at last I'm beginning to see some color in those 3 
round shaped trees on the front lawn surrounding the clock tower!  I had 
begun to think they were dead, but I guess they are just "late bloomers". 

As I drove by, I noticed that our rustic Eastern Oklahoma State College 
sign is now history, removed to make way for a new one to match the 
style of the new building.  I believe in one of the upstairs halls in 
the Student Center there's a whole line up of photos of each different 
sign that has marked Eastern over the years, so soon, there should be 
another addition marking this era in the school's history.     

I noticed last night that quite a few booths are already setting up for 
the Green Frog Festival this weekend.  Given the weather report, I hope 
they can stay dry and open.  So many towns have festivals celebrating 
something significant or unique to their area, and the Green Frog 
Festival, named after the old Green Frog Cafe that operated in the heart 
of downtown Wilburton for decades is Wilburton's attempt to host a 
Spring festival to bring people to our town.  Our Fall Festival in 
October has become a major attraction, so if the Green Frog Festival 
becomes anywhere near as big as it is, we'll have two big hits on our 
hands!  With our rich coal mining history, too, I noticed that there's 
going to be a "mine" set up downtown.  I want to go see how they managed 
that!  

Happy Birthday wishes go out for this Sunday to our Cafeteria Director, 
Mildred Whisenhunt.  I hope it doesn't rain on her day, so she can go 
play in the dirt.  She loves her yard and flowers, and really enjoys her 
time planting and growing beautiful things.

Our menu for today includes:
          Fish sticks
          Scalloped potatoes
          Pinto beans
          Turnip greens
          Cornbread

And for dessert, have a luscious piece of Chocolate Cake.

Have a great weekend,

Rhoda   :-)

P. S.  Don't forget to participate in Trash Off Day on Saturday!
