On Sunday evening tere was a spaghetti dinner held at the Immaculata church.
Every time that I pick up my mail there is always a pile of flyers if that’s what you call them.
Sept. 17 was a special day for Marion and Allen Blackwell has they celebrated their 64 wedding anniversary, what a milestone in their lives.
I feel I must keep up on my news and this week it will be a bit short I am afraid.
August 28 was a very special day in the Neave household with the holy union in marriage of Amy Watt and Edward Neave.
On Saturday evening last, John Keefe and I went across the lake to take in the open mike evening at the Grassy Plains Family Entertainment Centre.
Here we go starting out another week and the weather is not too good. Saturday last we had a terrific wind and rain storm. As I look back I just don’t think we used to get these wind storms.
Let’s hope the nice warm weather stays with us. Lots of hay being cut and baled. It may have lost it’s food value a bit but it’s still hay.
The second annual Grassy Plains Bluegrass country jamboree is behind us but the memories of this wonderful weekend will remain with us for as long time.
The Blackwater gold project has been acquired by a gold producing company who hope to see an open pit mine up and running at the site by 2017.
We are well into July and still we have had no really hot weather. Some places it's too hot or flooding. We have a very heavy hay crop but so far no drying weather. Maybe there will be a turn and a break for the ranchers.
I just had a nice little note slipped under the P.O. door this morning.
Another week is rolling around again, seems go faster as I get older.
Here I am back again after such a wonderful holiday.
The Wagon Wheel is now open for another season. It's always a very popular place to watch the lake and enjoy their good and great hospitality. Also a nice place to visit for your friends.
John Keefe has just returned from a holiday trip to Juneau, Alaska where he visited his daughter Ingrid and her husband Tim Fraychineaud. Tim is teaching school there and also teaches swimming and diving. Juneau is a very busy little city plus being the capital of Alaska.
Easter has come and gone, all but the happy memories that are left behind. We had such a wonderful time with family and friends.
It’s Saturday morning bright and early and I am starting my news a day or so a bit early. What a morning this is 16 of April and we have just had a foot of snow dumped onto us. It’s like the old boy said “You can’t win for losing” and looks like that’s it today
On Sunday afternoon last I had the pleasure to be invited to the First Mennonite Church for a spring-fest in honour of seniors of the community. There were 100 attended and 25 youth served the seniors lunch. Before the lunch was served there was a program of music and singing and also a hymn sing for everyone and also gave a prayer before the meal. It was so nice to see so many young folks taking an active part in the program. Everything was so well laid out and everyone felt like they were a part of a big loving family, which I felt we were.
Another week sneaking up on us as it's Wednesday already. No sun yet but it's not snowing either. I feel sorry for the little birds as there is not too much to eat around here yet. I feed them every day and the deer come up onto our veranda and clean out the feeder. I guess they are hungry too.
