From the
Shepherd of the Hills Bulletin
CIP BASKETS – This
Thanksgiving we will continue the tradition of sharing food baskets
with CIP (Community Infant Program with the Mental Health Center of
Boulder/Broomfield Counties). Thank
you for starting to talk to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers
about contributing food and cash donations for the baskets which we’ll
assemble the Sunday before the holiday. We will
be collecting the food items for a Thanksgiving meal (canned
vegetables, instant potatoes, gravy mix, cranberries, etc.), as well as
cash donations to cover the cost of the King Soopers gift certificates
for the perishable items (turkey, milk, butter, etc.). Last
year we provided 120 baskets with the balance of food going to EFAA
(Emergency Family Assistance Association). We
will
soon know how many for this year. Sharing feels
great!! CIP Co-ordinator = Diane LaFavor

We
live in the foothills (mountains) west of Boulder, in the Sugarloaf
neighborhood. It is beautiful and peaceful here, and only 20 minutes
to downtown Boulder. We are looking for someone to stay in our home
and take care of our 2 horses (in the backyard) and our 2 Hungarian
sheep dogs who are very loving and friendly, and want a lot of
attention when people are home. We don't expect someone to be here all
the time, so if you work, that is fine. A 4 wheel drive vehicle would
be helpful, but not required. We would, of course, pay for you to
house sit. If you are interested, please call me at 303 442-6656.

It's the yahrzeit of Herman Mendelbaum's death and his widow decides to
make a pilgrimage to the cemetery to recite a prayer over his grave and
place a small stone, as is the tradition, to show that the deceased is
remembered.
She arrives at the cemetery, but it being a while since she had been
there, she is confused and cannot find poor Herman's grave site.
Finally, she comes across a grounds-keeper who escorts her to a small
chapel on the cemetery grounds where the records are kept.
Pouring over large maps and lists, he finally turns to the widow and
says, "I can find no record of a Herman Mendelbaum buried here. The
closest I can find is a Sadie Mendelbaum."
"That's him!" she exclaims. "He always put everything in my name."
