What a day this has been! Summer or the last taste? Breakfast outside!
Five tables at cribbage. Great lunch again! High hand, Glenn, 24; first place, Eugene and Dorothy, 953; second, Hugh and Lyla, 930; Ted with 912 points, Patrysha and Laura and Margaret and Lois; low, Jean and Mary; door, Rick and Lyla. I read out high month average and Pat and Laura tied with Pat and Cal with 916. We just do this for fun!
My neighbour to the south has a new truck in the yard. I won’t know him when he drives by without old blue!
“Live well, it’s the greatest revenge!”
There was a fair crowd for the first afternoon euchre tournament. I partnered with Wayne! I didn’t wait for the results.
Cal, Cole and I went to the “Fall” Supper at Knox where we met up with Gib and Florence. The tables were beautifully set with white linen and autumn runners up the centre. Lots of smiling servers, and lots of good food and desserts.
Back to Cal’s for a game of cribbage. Florence and I got skunked once. The guys may have won the most?
Sympathy to the White family this week in the sudden loss of “John” Tom. Thinking of you all.
I hear Coral Collins is home again. God Bless.
Leonard was in this morning looking for a “lid” for a campfire-sized enameled coffee pot (grey and white phase). If you have one let me know. Probably about 20 cup size (antique).
Laurene called in for a visit. Helen Oswald keeps in touch. She was going to Bertha and Morden’s for Sunday lunch.
My “won” grocery box was worth roughly $70. I just figured it out!
Hey, it was great to say hello to all those who called in to our Annual Christmas Tea here in Tehkummah.
Once again I made use of the “Voice” from Bay Estates. Good to have our M.P.P. Michael Mantha stop for lunch, to visit, to win draws.

My goodness the year is rolling round. Another nice day of sunshine here again. I can’t recall a year with so much “but” I’m not complaining.
Remembrance Day service at the hall on Wednesday, November 11 at 11 am.
In the afternoon cribbage at 1:30 pm as usual.
Sunday evening a card game at Cal’s found the “girls” defeated badly. They won six of the seven games. Always a lot of laughs, but they seemed kind of smug. Next time!
We had been in to Carol’s and Earl’s for supper. Saw lots of family members dining out too. Met a friend of Susan’s.
After church Mum beat me three games before I went home. We had lunch at Carol’s and Earl’s with Martin, Lynda, Justin and Quillan who is now going as “Super Q”. I thought Super Cute, but he wasn’t happy with that. Martin had a good Remembrance Day service reviving his Dad’s old songbook.
