Few short words of memory of Laura Ramsey

It breaks my heart for me not to be able to see Laura again. She was such a dear friend. She's done so much for me out of the kindness of her heart. During her last days at home, I had the opportunity to have intimate conversations with her. I spent time with her, caring for her legs.

She never complained, just took the pain and suffering she was going through with hopes and a smile. My heart went out to her. She was a very kind, compassionate, wise woman. I loved her dearly. I'm going to miss her.

Upon my arrival to A.G. in Autumn 2014 it was Laura who was one of the wonderful ladies here who helped me acclimate the FL to WA culture shock. She was always even tempered...classy...appreciative of her volunteers...patient & generous in so many ways. I will miss her teas...working on party decorations with her...and her mentoring very...very much.

Laura Ramsey was an incredible lady who will be sorely missed at Arrowhead.  She was instrumental in starting the ladies teas which were a great way to spend time with people and listen to interesting speakers.  I marveled at her energy when decorating for different occasions, which she certainly had a flair for.  Even though she was on several committees, she also found time to call people the night before a big trip to take a head count for the following day.  Lots of times she would arrange to have cold water for us in a cooler too!  Always enthusiastic, she is truly someone we miss seeing around here.

Attached are three photos I took of her.  One each taken on the ferry to Friday Harbor, at Lake Quinault Lodge, and on Halloween.

Thoughts about Laura Ramsey  -  A Real Leader

Our community has lost a strong leader.  Laura came up with ideas most of us would never imagine, and found ways for us to carry them out.  The Easter Egg Hunt was one.  There were numbered eggs hidden all over to be turned in for prices.  She made Author’s Tea even more festive, with goodies and conversation.  She had decorations for every occasion.  She contributed gift items for the Raffles to encourage attendance in Social events.  Laura kept track of how many people came to special dinners.  She called to remind the people signed up for events where tickets had already been purchased.  She also contributed her ideas and enthusiasm to outside organizations.  

Yes, we will miss Laura.  Her dynamic spirit will be hard to replace, if it ever can be.

White Christmas  (lyrics)
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
O Tannenbaum  (lyrics)
One English version of O Tannenbaum:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Tannenbaum#Lyrics

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,

Your branches green delight us!
They are green when summer days are bright,
They are green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
Reminding me on Christmas Day
To think of you and then be gay.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
O Holy Night  (lyrics)
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine

Ooh yes it was
Ooh it is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
It was a holy holy holy, oh oh oh
I'll be home for christmas (lyrics)
​I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Kings of Swing

10/1/2016

Music and dance lovers “take note” (and forgive the pun)… They had a little break and now the Kings of Swing will be back this Tuesday, October 4th, at the Kent Senior Center playing favorites like In the Mood, Chattanooga Choo Choo and Sentimental Journey.
The Swing Era of the forties saw conductors like Benny Goodman and Cab Calloway playing for civilians in dance halls and ballrooms, and for soldiers in USO clubs. Patrons jumped to the Jitterbug and slowed for the Two-step.
And now all Arrowhead residents can leave the driving to one of our capable drivers and spend the evening just listening, or, listening and dancing to sounds of the Big Bands.

Some additional information:
--they truly are good musicians
--the music is well-amplified
--wheelchair and walker accessible; short walk to dance floor
--not all the kings are male--there is both a male and female band singer
--a lot of people dance, but many sit on the perimeter enjoying the music
--$3. cover charge also gets you a beverage and snack at intermission
--unable to find a partner, one woman danced alone
--one couple incorporated a support column into their dance
--they’ve never asked me to leave when I sing along
