As we were .sit- ting on the front steps tending the house flowers there, so she dropped over for a talk, She reported that her mother, Mrs. Norine MacKay, had been transferred on Tuesday of that same week, August 4 to Pinecrest Manor Nursing Home in Lucknow where she joined a number of Ripley residents such as Mrs. Charlotte (Allie) MacDonald, Jimmy Moirier, and Jack Carter and was enjoying their company there. With Alzheimer disease or a related condition, she now re- quired twenty-four hours care per day. At this particular time a single vacancy occur- red with the passing of Katherine Murray recently. Also on the day before ( Wednesday) the results of field crops were in the weekly paper. Dianne was pleased to note that she was the only lady to have entries in them. They were fall wheat and barley. She will show a plastic bag of her wheat and barley in the grain show at the Ripley Fall Fair on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 25 and 26 in the Complex. Mary Ellen Rim- melzwaan of Purple Grove, the only lady ex- hibitor to show in the grain competition, has moved from this area so Dianne will be tak- ing her place. She says that she will get Gor- don Patterson who heads the grain commit- tee and also is her cousin to look after her entry or entries here and he is pleased to do this. Looking back we note that she also has an entry in barley, so she will be showing a plastic bag of barley and also can show more outside, not Ashfield crop entries.
