I do hope everyone has had the
best of all possible Christmas holi-
days.
Santa was generous to our family,
each and everyone. Myrah (our only
grandchild) made out like a bandit -
as she should.
We are running up to meet the
new year at what seems like a gal-
loping pace. While each year I do
start off with the best of intentions
often things fall along the wayside
early on. This year however, I vow
to keep on track until at least mid-
January, maybe even touch February
if I’m really diligent.
Well a girl can dream can’t she?
Which brings me to Happy New
Year everyone! And a happy birth-
day to me! Our open house held on
Dec. 28, was a completely enchanti-
ng experience. Each guest came
ready to encompass the holiday spir-
it within our home. Wayne and I
enjoyed everyone’s company
immensely. We came out ahead, two
hats and one charming coffee mug.
One of our most delightful guests,
Patricia Ham of the Auburn area
promised to come back in the sum-
mer and bring friends. I am already
looking forward to it! Patricia
brought with her a jar of quince pre-
serves which I have already tapped
into and found to be most interest-
ing and look forward to using it in
some of her suggested dishes.
Patricia does an exceptional job
writing the Country Fare column so
her folly with food is boundless.
Dungannon village is losing two
life-long residents. Irvine and
Colleen Eedy are moving to
Stratford to be closer to their family.
The Eedys are well known for run-
ning the Eedy’s Bakery in
Dungannon for several decades, into
the 1970s.
There will be an open house held
at The Olde Village Café in
Dungannon on Saturday, Jan. 6 from
1 p.m. - 4 p.m. There will be
coffee and calories. Everyone is
welcome.
Please come out and let these pil-
lars of our community know how
valued they have been.
No gifts please.
