Again, weather is the “hot” topic
for mot conversations. Another week
of wet snow makes for very bad
driving and the tow trucks have been
busy around the area.
I saw two vehicles in the ditch on
Friday afternoon and on Sunday, the
tow truck went by our place a couple
of times.
Sunday started off not too badly,
and I spent a couple of hours outside
putting up Christmas decorations. In
the afternoon the wind picked up, the
snow started to fall, and it turned
quite nasty. I was actually hoping for
a snow day for the bus, but no such
luck. It cleared enough that the buses
went, unfortunately it was slow
going even for the snowplows, so
some of the routes I travel were not
cleared which made for some very
heavy roads.
The bus radios were busy with
calls that roads were not plowed,
turn-arounds made for buses stuck
and many buses running late. The
joy of winter driving.
This week is also the second week
of the deer-hunting season. I imagine
that it is going to be a challenging
hunting week if the weather
continues to be like this. I only saw
one truck of hunters on the road
Monday morning but I assume more
were out there.
Obviously, keep your eyes open
when driving, because the deer will
be on the move.
Maxine Marks has been moved to
Stratford hospital and will be having
physical therapy as part of her
recovery.
Congratulations to Marni Knight
on winning the lawn mower from the
Brussels Minor Hockey draw. That
news capped off a winning weekend
for her. Steve and Marni had spent
part of the weekend in Niagara Falls,
and Marni enjoyed a winning streak
there. Returning home to attend a
Grey Cup party, she managed to win
the Grey Cup football pool, then the
phone call came the next morning
that she had won the lawn mower.
She better be buying lottery tickets.
Returning from moose hunting
near Dryden were Mike and Kelly
Boven and friends. Unfortunately,
they didn’t get a moose.
Heading north for a sad occasion
were Ross and Shirley Smith. They
went to Sault Ste. Marie to attend
the funeral of Shirley’s sister-in-law,
Zona England, wife of Stewart
England. Accompanying them were
Shirley’s sister, Marg, from
Lucknow and a cousin from
Cambridge. Our condolences to the
England and Smith families.
Returning from a trip to Florida
are Clint and Judy Emmrich. They
were gone for two weeks and report
temperatures were cool. The first
week was spent on the ocean side at
Daytona. Temperatures ran from 45 -
55°F and a jacket was needed most
of the time. Moving over to the gulf
side, and Treasure Island for week
two, found things a little warmer, a
balmy 65°F.
If you were in a sheltered spot, out
of the wind, it was quite nice, they
said.
Clint spent a lot of time fishing as
well as doing the usual touristy
things, relaxing and de-stressing,
people watching and enjoying the
scenery.
They spent a day at Universal
Studios, and did a lot of walking.
They had great fun and enjoyed
riding the roller coasters. They were
away over the American
Thanksgiving, but failed to enjoy a
Thanksgiving dinner. The infamous
Black Friday shopping spree saw
them staying well away from the
malls. They saw folks camping out
on Wednesday outside stores in
tents, and even hot tubs to be the first
in line for the bargains. Crazy!
They had a good drive home and
didn’t see much snow until getting to
Kippen on Sunday afternoon, and
then were glad to be back in Walton.
Returning from a great trip to
Tennessee, North Carolina and the
Smokey Mountains is Lily Fincham.
She was away for seven days on a
Great Canadian Tour and had a
wonderful time. Some of the places
they went included Dollyland,
Nashville and the Country and
Western Museum.
They enjoyed a cable car ride up
into the Smokey Mountains and after
returning down they then drove up
the mountain in the bus. It was
beautiful.
They also stayed three nights at
Pigeon Forge where they enjoyed
Christmas shows.
They made a stop at the original
Colonel Saunders restaurant and
enjoyed of course, a chicken dinner.
They also toured the museum there.
They stopped at a Russell Stover
Outlet where many folks picked up
chocolate gifts for Christmas. They
saw the Ryman Auditorium in
Nashville and it was beautiful.
Lily reports having a wonderful
time and can’t wait to go on her next
adventure.
Away for five days were Sharon,
Becky and Eden Rapson. They went
to Washington, D.C. to visit with
daughter and sister Allison and
husband Dave Lisle. They flew from
Detroit and were there over the
American Thanksgiving and Black
Friday. From where Allison and her
husband live, they can see the White
House.
The weather was like fall, with
green grass and leaves on the
ground. They didn’t attempt the
Black Friday shopping but did a little
shopping on Saturday.
They had a wonderful visit and a
great time. They were lucky and
returned to Ontario and home before
the storm moved in on Sunday
evening.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Lin Steffler, Kaitlin
Williamson, Daniel Fritz, Keith
Williamson, Jim Fritz, Scott Godkin,
Justin Hoegy, Malinda Johnston,
Paul McCallum, Ron Godkin, Mary
Bernard, Greg Bowers, Devin
Bachert, and Rick McDonald.
Congratulations to Charlene
Thompson and Ben Finlayson on the
birth of their first child, a little boy
named Owen. Congrats to
grandparents Bryan and Brenda
Finlayson on a second grandson.
Returning from a trip to Varadero,
Cuba are four sisters, the former
Johnson girls. Leona Armstrong and
her sisters Helen from St. Catharines
and Doris and Joan from Truro,
Nova Scotia spent a week together in
the southern island. It was not as
warm as they would have liked, but
they had a great time together.
