MY SUN DAY NEWS
Believe it or not, Nancy has a real job. She is a travel agent, and years ago she won a river cruise for two through Bavaria with a German cruise line. Out of 80 passengers, only 10 spoke English. As we were sailing along, our cruise director would point out various landmarks and give a five minute dissertation in German. He would then point and say to us in English, “there it is.” While showing her clients some photos of our trip, she developed a taste for German food. We remembered seeing the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle and decided now would be a good time to review this restaurant.
Minor repairs anyone can do.
My mom had a fall recently and broke her arm. It sounds like a fairly innocent incident, but since then she has never been the same. She went through physical therapy and healed well but now, she has anxiety and battles depression. Her anxiety keeps her from engaging in life with joy. She is aware of this struggle, and my father and I are at a loss as to how to help her. How can we be a positive source to her?
If you’re a movie fan you have your list of favorites, and most likely some or all of them contain unforgettable moments, which may endure long after the details of the movie have escaped your mind. Below I’ve listed a few of mine, although there is not enough space in the Sun Day News for all of them. If you have a favorite moment or two, email them to me at the address below. I’ll be anxious to hear.

One of my favorite parts of the day begins at 5:15 a.m. That’s when I like to wake up. After feeding my cats and speeding through my scientifically cultivated morning routine, I grab my laptop and head out the door, still not completely removed from the night’s dream state.

I’m going to be honest: I’m getting sick and tired of having to change the Sun Day’s masthead to memorialize another tragedy. Not that I don’t want to memorialize the victims of tragedy but that there’s a tragedy out there to begin with. I’m sick of it!
It’s on Facebook – so it must be true. “I found out the news from my daughter. She called me and congratulated me for being selected for the Chicago 16-Inch Softball Hall of Fame (HOF) – she saw it on Facebook,” said Glenn Groebli.

There always seems to be something big, significant and creative going on in Huntley Community School District 158. If it isn’t a nearly $40 million expansion of Huntley High School, it’s blended learning for high school students, specialized medical education programs in association with a major area hospital, or helping students achieve record-high standardized test scores.

“The rain in Spain falls mainly on the …” well, you know the story and the rest of the line so we’ll move on to outline the trip to Spain and Portugal, with a side venture to Morocco, enjoyed by Grant and Linda, N-24.
Blame it on the Christmas season — and then the long, dark winter nights in the weeks that follow — but I always get a bit nostalgic about those great days of my childhood.

One of the Woodchucks had a problem with the light bulb in his garage door opener. He was able to diagnose the problem and repair it. Here is his solution.
If any of you have seen Jim walking around Del Webb lately, he looks like Chester from the old Gunsmoke TV show. He’s been limping along for the past year, but his time is running out. Today is his last visit when the doctor can use his knee like a Voo Doo doll and sticks needles in it with various drugs to stop the pain.
My aunt lives in an assisted living community, but we learned she cannot continue living there because she will be running out of money. What options does she have?
As I commented in my last column, we are in the “death valley” days of new movie releases. Last weekend there were two new films out, one was Black Panther, the newest super-hero on the scene. Despite plenty of accolades from the highly paid professional movie critics, this was not my cup of tea, and (I could be wrong) probably not for most of the Sun Day News readers either. The other was Samson, a remake of the biblical story. After seeing the trailers on TV, I’m not sure anyone would pay to see it, certainly not me.

Clare Schellerer knows United States National Champion Pairs Figure Skater Alexa Scimeca better than one might think. That’s because Scimeca, who will represent the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics, is Schellerer’s granddaughter.
I’ve come to realization that living with a one year old is like living with The Three Stooges. Just the other day, my son knocked over my coffee (sending the coffee onto my keyboard and under my monitor), slammed my fingers in a desk drawer, and poked me in the eye. He did this literally consecutively, one hit after the other.
After 2018, maintenance and repair spending by the Sun City Community Association will wind down. This year will be the last one that involves major spending.

OK, I’ve made my New Year’s resolution. Oh, I know, New Year’s resolutions are supposed to start in the early hours of January when the year is still new. I can hear you smirking at me for taking this long to get around to it.

One summer day, a couple of years ago, Sun Citian Fred Dryden received a call from the Huntley Police Department. He was asked to assist police officers in a search for a missing elderly lady in the community. He also was asked to recruit some friends to assist him in the activity. He rounded up three friends and reported for “duty.”
