Today was the Mendota Heritage Festival. It was such a beautiful fall day, and I think things went well. I was not involved other than to make a cake, eat a hotdog, and walk thru taking pictures. It was nice.

Helene, aka. Dr. Helene Holbrook, was at the Mendota Medical Clinic taking blood pressures, etc. Here we are…

Helene: “Eva your blood pressure is very normal, but how about those chipmunk cheeks? Have you been eating walnuts and storing them for the winter…in your cheeks?”

Here we are playing “Mendota Clinic!”

So many hours of work and dreams brought this clinic into the world and now it’s closed. I think it will open again. I do not know when or under what circumstances, but I just have that feeling. Meanwhile, this little lady waits…

And the Mendota Community Association keeps the birdhouses “bird ready” waiting on that special family to move in…

And those of us who believe lift this clinic up in a more effective manner than texting…

Can you say “Amen?”
