Sip Oolong Tea

Research suggests that people with mild eczema who drink oolong tea three times a day may show improvement in itching and other symptoms. Compounds in the tea called polyphenols appear to be responsible.

Husband and wife crowned Valentine King and Queen

 

 

 Two of our newst residents have recently celebrated their golden wedding anniversary were named the King and Queen of Hearts at the Lehighton Senior Center Valentine party held Thursday at the Lehighton Rec Center.
Darlene and Donald Graver were married on Dec. 21, 1962. They met in high school and married while Donald was serving in the U.S. Navy.
"He pursued me," she said, although he joked that was wrong.
"She chased me," he said. The couple noted that is Donald's personality to joke around.
Darlene said Donald proposed by telephone while he was stationed in Puerto Rico.
"He hasn't lost his sense of humor, despite health issues," she said.
As to their recipe for a long marriage, "He was gone a lot in the Navy in the beginning," Darlene said.
Darlene was a sewing machine operator, and Donald was a welder.
They raised three children, Lori Greene, Donna Miller, and Donald Graver.
"We're in love," said Donald, as he held his wife's hand and kissed it again.
They were each given a heart-shaped box of candy; Darlene was given a chocolate rose, and Donald, a mug.
They were then serenaded by a barbershop quartet, which sang such favorites as "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and "Honey, that I Love."
