Cardinals are singing.
Is going through stuff good? I just seem to find more to keep! Saturday, I opened a “Bing Sings” container that contained three bags of assorted sand for panning with different sizes of gold flakes in ‘em. Will I ever pan it? Derek sent it to his dad a few (aha) years ago from his gold claim. I guess I won’t throw it out. Organizing some poetry and book stuff. Cal picked me up some sleeves while he was out shopping one day.
Vera Chatwell, I hope the leg is mending well. That treacherous ice is out to get us this year!
This sunny Tuesday morning I got a nice phone call from Helen. She caught me peeling a carrot for chicken soup. Made hamburger soup last evening, so I’m sure I’ll have some to share with the neighbours.
Just fell into my chair here, though I did hitch a ride to the birthday party at the Hall today. Brian McCarthy and Lorna Russell celebrated. Lois does a nice card and a birthday calendar, so neat.
Only two wonderful singers and guitarists today. Gordie Greenough and Wayne Smith. Thanks, so much, guys. Lois, Margaret C. and the club provided lunch, Lois made the good birthday cake and a contest, Springtime. Three of us got six out of 12 questions right and won a chocolate bar for our efforts.
What a nice sunny day, frosty overnight, though. I slept and slept through TV shows.
Fun as always at cribbage. Good lunch too. 1:30 pm, Wednesdays, all are welcome. We had five hands today of 20 points: Betty Jean, Florence, Sandra, Yogi and Marvin; first, Doris and Donna, 960; second, Cal and I, 952; third, Joy and Bert, 934; low, Marion and Gordon, 843; door, Doris, Bert and Bill. Fairly quiet at coffee time. But I always enjoy the time spent there. Even though the “baker” wasn’t there, the baking was! She baked my favourite eatmore bars, yumm.
I missed mentioning the fun day on Saturday. I guess there were lots of events to participate in. I’d like to commend this group who made a super day for the young and old alike with free chili, hotdogs and refreshments available. Library, kudos to your team!
Sorry I missed you, Warren! Good photos!
Is there a day that goes by that I’m not blessed in some way? Today, I got a neat St. Paddy’s gift from Darlene (and card). She is a crafty lady!
I appreciate my neighbours keeping my bird feeders filled, and I’m sure the birds do, too, though this winter the bird count is way low, and the seed bill quite reasonable.
Judy and I must have talked for an hour Wednesday evening. Her belated birthday call, I guess.
I checked on Susan (sis) around supper time. She came home from Toronto yesterday. I’m assuming Chris was her taxi from there to home. Get well soon.
Happy birthday, Jose, today!
You’re not going to believe this, but me sitting down in the bathroom put the ice off the roof. What a noise. Anyway, I think that’s what it was!?
Golly, Friday morning, going through more poetry. There is no end, obviously.
Last evening euchre tournament at the Hall, nine full tables. Margaret was in the kitchen. Linda and Andy, 72, 6 lone hands; Laurene and I had 46 points, though we had challenges; Janet (Dunn?), 50/50.
The Mexican Hat plant is still in bloom. I think I told you about it a couple of months back. It is one single stem in a very small pot and a corolla of pink bells just keeps on giving. I never fail to take time to admire it every day.
A friend of mine was phoned this week by someone supposedly representing a grandchild having problems and requiring money. Please be careful, folks. This is a mean game for gaining, preying on grandparents! Maybe? You?
On Saturday evening Sherry and Dave, Joyce and Joe Holmes had Dave’s birthday dinner with his Mum Marion at the Centennial Manor in Little Current. Sunday evening it was celebrated again at Tara and Ray’s home with a delicious turkey dinner and all the fixings plus a cherry chip birthday cake which Skylar had her hand in decorating too. Jacob and Jaylynn were there too. Of course, the happy birthday song and gifts and cards. OK, did I say it was a “brown envelope” celebration! How did our kids get this age? We sang happy birthday to Gary Brown at church on Sunday, as well. He’s a year behind? Andre and Klaus Probst, next door neighbours, both celebrated birthdays this week. Klaus’ 90th, I hear,
so congrats!
Our Sunday service was as always, excellent. My Uber travel mode excellent. Actually, we took in the pot luck (me pot less) at the museum at South Baymouth. This was an organizational meeting for St. Andrews Annual Fall/Hunters turkey supper. There’s a lot of planning. 16th of November, time flies fast, though.
