It was during this time that I vowed to myself that I would make amends with people, iflmakeit through this. Unfortunately, for some, though, tomorrow never arrived. This made me quiver when I remembered the old cliche: “Nev­ er put off until tomorrow, what you can do today. ’ ’ If only I could go back and play my cards differently, for now. I can never make up for it. Since then, I decided that many things can wait until tomorrow, with a clear conscience taking priority above anything else. Why not take the opportunity during family week to visit some­ one or give them a call. Afterall, “money can buy anything, but it can re place noone.’’The senior citizens always have something to say, ifonly someone would listen to them. Allow them to share with you, their amusing experiences and stories. Not only would it make their day, but it would also make yours. Afterall, we must realize that the day will come, when we will be in the same position.

Ethel 4-H dub meets The Ethel III Eager Eaters met at Sharon Cowman’s at 7 p.m. for their second meeting entitled “Supermarket Choices - It’s Up to You!’’ Members learned how fruits and vegetables are graded and which ones were best for different recipes. They taste-tested Canada Fancy and Canada Choice pears to see if they could tell the difference. Some could, some couldn’t. They also taste-tasted six different juices. No. 1 was an orange fruit drink, No. 2 was orange pop, No. 3 was Tang, apple juice was in cup No. 4, five was from a juice concentrate and No. 6 was prune juice which was the absolute worst! They made an apple pancake which was delicious! They ended the meeting, then two girls did the dishes.
