Huronlea Happenings
Residents view ice sculptures
By Olive Sproul
Some Huronlea residents went to
Millington's for lunch, enroute to
Hensall, where we toured a place
called Ice Culture. Here they make
huge bowls which can be used for
punch bowls or buckets full of ice
to chill champagne.
Another day was parly time
again! Several residents went down
to the fitness room to help husk the
beautiful peaches and cream sweet
com which was brought in freshly-
picked from a nearby farm. It was
right at the peak of perfection
dropped into boiling, lightly-salted
water. After it was done it was
brushed copiously with melted
butter and served to everyone along
with toasted tomato sandwiches
with miracle whip as well as our
own fresh, homegrown sliced
cucumbers, onions and lettuce all
from our garden.
We've had the most satisfaction
and had remarkable results from
this. There have been enough beans
to feed us for several meals. Beside
we had a number of tossed salads
and plenty of fresh carrots.
Coleslaw is very appetizing, when
made colourful by the addition of
chopped green onion tops, chopped
red radishes and chopped carrot.
We are all pleased as punch with
the yield of fresh vegetables from
that tiny garden plot.
The walking club was very
welcome. (We had ice cream
sundaes for dessert). It wasn't too
terribly hot as it has been a few
times this summer, it was very
pleasant. The next day saw us
entertained by Don Dunbar, in his
usual breezy style.
Violet Machan celebrated a
birthday. We sang her the birthday
song at lunch time, as we always
do. She blushed and gave us a shy
smile as she blew out the single
candle that Nellie, our dietician,
alway^puts on the frosted muffin
she fixes special for each resident
on his/her special day.
From then on it was Violet all the
way. Her family went and got the
huge pink frosted birthday cake
they'd brought with them.
The annual pot luck family pot
luck luncheon was held on the last
Tuesday of August. It was a
smashing success with about 60
people taking part. It was quite an
elaborate affair with everyone
dressed to the nines, music in the
background and mounds of
delicious food so that the rest of the
residents could easily have been
fed on the leftovers!
While the tenant's kitchen was a
royal tizzy from the preparation of
the food brought by the friends and
relatives of the residents, I along
with the other members of the food
committee were attending the
initial monthly gathering with the
dietician of the facility, Nellie Van
Bakel, to plan the next month's
menus.
Nellie asked what was the fruit
for September? She was answered

Sunday, Sept. 14 and joining the
rest of the tour group on a Cherrey
Bus Lines coach at Georgetown,
Doreen Dale and Mildred Jacklin
started out on a four-day tour in
perfect weather. This was made
even better through Mildred's luck
at winning the four-day trip
sponsored by Hanover Holiday
Tours and CKNX Wingham radio
station.
Lunch stop was at "The Big
Apple", then on to Ottawa via
Highways 7, 43 and 16.

nights was The Lord Elgin Hotel,

renovated in the past year.
On Monday morning they had an
interesting guided tour of the cities
of Ottawa and Hull, then spent
some time at the Ottawa market.
After lunch the group was taken
to Hull, Que. where they boarded
the Hull-Wakefield steam train for
a two-hour ride on one of Canada's
last remaining steam trains, built in
by all with one unanimous shout,
"peaches"! This was supplemented
by the addition of cucumbers and
tomatoes as themes for September.
The next day the old tunes
entertained. Something new had
been added. They now count a
tuneful girl trio which was very
melodic.
The highlight of the week, the
month, even the summer, fell on
the following day, a Thursday. Two
busloads of avid Blue Jay fans had
tickets to a real live baseball game.
They had excellent seats under the
Skydome and miracles will never
cease, the team came through for
them. They had to go into extra
innings, but they won!

After spending two hours on a
guided walking tour of the
beautiful surroundings and visiting
the quaint old stores in Wakefield,-
the train's 93-ton engine was
disengaged and turned on a
turnstile by only six of the train
employees. It was then at the front
of the train for the return journey to
Hull arriving at 6:30 p.m.
Two very talented young fellows,
a guitarist and violinist, went from
