I love stumbling across the hidden gems of Neosho.
There are many businesses that I have heard about but never visited personally. Case in point, Springhill Assisted Living is one of those endeavors of which I have heard good things from family and friends. On Monday I got the chance to stop out and visit Lisa Baker, administrator.
My good fortune it was lunchtime when I arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many ladies I knew gathered in the bright dining room waiting for lunch to be served. The conversations were quick as we shared many stories about Neosho a few years back and caught up on today’s headlines and activities. It was good to hug my buddy “Cleo” and see that she is doing well.
Since I was there, I was graciously asked to eat — an invitation I quickly accepted. I had heard from many that Casey Troutman’s meals were delicious and that was certainly the case. Growing up in Oklahoma, we had often enjoyed fresh fruits and vegetables from our family’s gardens. I’m fairly certain that I hadn’t had fresh-cooked turnips since I was young, and the ones I had this week were yummy. Served with an open-face roast beef sandwich and cookie bar, it was a great lunch.
Springhill is hosting a BNI Business Showcase tomorrow from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres will be served and information available about Springhill and the benefits of assisted living. Businesses who think they would like to learn more about Springhill should stop by. If you haven’t been in before you’ll be impressed with what you see.
A quick ending word regarding BNI. I’m a fan of the Neosho Area Chamber of Commerce. I’ve worked on projects with them many times over the last two decades. Many of the members of our Neosho Business Network International (BNI) group are chamber members as well. Moving between the two groups seems effortless and beneficial to everyone.
It’s great to know we have someplace as pleasant and warm as Springhill here in Neosho. Think it’s too early to put my name on a waiting list?
