The hunters are out in full force and gun shots can be heard when outside. The deer have been on the move for a couple of weeks as their hiding places in the corn are removed. Keep your eyes open and be prepared to slow down! Halloween is over for another year and fewer children came to the door again. It seems every year there are fewer children out. The costumes were really cute, including Care Bears, skeletons, bumblebees, cowboys, a duck and a popular children’s race car driver. A welcome to Bonnie Taylor, who is now at Huronlea. We hope she is renewing old friendships with the Brussels folks. Dianne Engel is also making her home at Huronlea and we hope she is coping with her new surroundings. Brussels was well represented at the Royal Alexandra Theatre one day last week. A group of 21 ladies travelled to Toronto to see a showing of the musical Kinky Boots. They report it was excellent. Not to give away the whole show but “Charlie” hooks up with a transgendered lady friend to save the family’s aging shoe factory. Music, singing, dancing and laughs abound. The group reported a wonderful time. Taking part in the excursion included organizer Jean Davidson with friends Liz Sholdice, Janet Haetel, Sue Overholt, Nora Stephenson, Jean Bridge, Joan Bernard, Marie McCutcheon, Betty Campbell, Betty Cardiff, Audrey Cardiff, Bev Palmer, Rene Richmond, Jane Hall, Alice Marks, Sandra Cable, Sandra Machan, Joan Jacobs, Hope Lowe, Cora Alcock and Leona Armstrong. Can you imagine that group of ladies on the bus ride? Entertainment all by itself! Our condolences to the Hoegy family on the passing of Lavern Hoegy, formerly of Brodhagen, and recently of Huronlea. He will be missed by his wife Greta and children Brenda, Wayne, Yvonne, Maureen, Doug and Lyle and their families. Our sympathies to all. Celebrating birthdays this past week include Brent Alexander, MacKenzie McGavin, Janine Knight, Davis Steffler, Judy Lee, Marvin Bachert, Stephen Burke, John Gaunt, Peggy Humphries, Garret Mader, Johnny Ryan, Bruce Blake, Alexis Terpstra, Lila Olson, Darryl Hoegy and Chris Stevenson.
