Hand-ball!
Soccer was a popular sport on the playground last week at
Hullett Central Public School. Students like Joey
Scrimgeour, left, and Joel Howson didn’t mind the weather
as long as they got to play. (Denny Scott photo)
Weather matching the season
Enjoy the white stuff. Finally a
nice bit of snow to call January to
attention. When the seasons are
appreciated, it’s tough to enjoy green
grass in December. It’s one of those
things that just isn’t right. And of
course we can do nothing about it
but accept the day that has been
given. Do you have a list of things
that are really none of your business
but can be just a little irritating? Me
too!
Our trip of the month last week
took us to Ottawa for a few days.
That is one fine city that knows how
to celebrate winter. People walking
and talking, strolling and smiling atany time of the day or night. Theirclothing indicates they expect coldand wind and are out and about to
enjoy it. The Byward Market area
remains one of my favourite places
to stroll and often eat. Any type of
food can be found here in any price
range and Ottawa hospitality
abounds. To encourage eating in
different places the tourism board
has encouraged ‘prix fix’ for a
specific menu. So I had an
interesting lunch one day – beef
barley soup, potato pancakes on
smoked salmon with capers and then
a nice piece of salmon, oven
potatoes and a green vegetable that
felt like lettuce and cabbage and I
forgot to ask. Anyway what a great
way to try new foods in a new
combination for a good price. They
also had a bison burger for Ralph, so
everyone was happy.
The Museum of Nature on
McLeod Street and the National Art
Gallery on Sussex were two of the
many wonders to behold. Both are
well worth a second visit soon. Yourmind can only take in so much andso on to other things to see and do.Two days with Jim and Beth on
their wee farm in Hallville finished
off our time away. I have such great
brothers all over this country, it’s
always good to catch up. Our
children are in Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Ontario at this
busy stage of life, so the stories are
good and then we wonder where the
years went and appreciate how
we’ve been blessed. Home again.
Travel plans have started or are in
the final stages for many in
Brussels this month. A time for a
little warmth and a chance of
scenery. Enjoy.
Annual meeting time is here. A
review of the year, what went well,
what needs work and what are our
plans for the future. Looking back is
a good thing as history comes with
us but in order to survive in this busy
world we need to be clear about the
road ahead.
Take care.
