A Note from Bette
On July 26, former resident
Bette Gault wrote to say she
was a patient in the Quaker
Heights Health Care Center in
Ohio. She has had surgery on
her foot and is awaiting an-
other operation scheduled for
August 26.
Bette's surgeon, soft-spoken
and kind, is internationally
known and one of the top sur-
geons in this country. Bette has
great faith in his skills. She
could also use our prayers for
successful surgery and a
speedy recovery.
When recovered, Bette will
make her home with her
daughter and son-in-law
Marsha and Steve Whitlock in
Waynesville, Ohio. Notes and
cards can be sent to Bette, c/o
Marsha Whitlock, 9918 Sandy

Staubs Reunion

Held at Sam Michael's Park,
there was great food as well as
a clown, an egg toss, arts and
crafts for children, horseshoes,
an auction for tickets and more.
As a dedication for all the
Staubs who died in the past
year, a balloon was released
into the sky. This has become a
yearly tradition at the reunion.
Tomatoes Anyone?
How are your tomato plants
doing this summer? I am glad
to say that I have tomatoes on
all six of my plants. They are
not huge but they look healthy
and keep getting bigger every
day. I hope to be picking a red
one in the next two weeks.
If you remember, my last
year's crop was pitifully slim. I
think I picked six edible toma-
toes from 12 bushes. Ugh! I
wrote that I was going to have
soil samples from my garden
tested to see what was needed
to have healthy plants.
Well, time went by this
spring and I didn't take the
• samples for testing. Instead, A1
tilled and fertilized my small-
est bed with vigor (and hope)
and I planted the tomatoes
with a prayer and some sweet
talk. At first they looked puny
and rather sad, but little by
little, like Topsy, they grew big-
ger. Mostly because Al watered
and fertilized them faithfully
and often. He is the reason we
have green tomatoes on our
bushes. Now...we wait...
The Recipe Corner
Speaking of tomatoes, we
tried this recipe last Sunday,
when we enjoyed a "just corn
and tomato meal"-only good
when fresh corn and tomatoes
are available.
I cook my corn on the cob in
the microwave. Put 6 cleaned
ears in a baking dish, add a
little water, cover with plastic
wrap, stick some slits in wrap-
and cook for 15-20 minutes on
high. Tender! Here's the simple
tomato recipe:
Simple Tomato Salad
Alternate thin slices of
Vadelia onion and fresh tomato
slices on a plate. Top with
crumbled (eta cheese. Add the
following lower-fat vinaigrette
balsamic dressing (or your
own).
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar;
3/8 cup water; 3/8 cup olive oil;
1 packet Good Seasons Italian
Dressing mix (I add a little
sugar). Make ahead and refrig-
erate for an hour if possible.
