Did you notice it? In a previous first column of September, I bemoaned the fact that with the first day of school always the weather changes. It’s as though Mother Nature is sorry to see the summer and carefree days of our youth end. So, suddenly it is fall. Let’s hope winter is still months away. And this September the Thresher Reunion had a wet Friday. When was the last time that happened? Most first days of school for a new year find me very blue. And this September was no exception. However, we were visiting with teenagers this year. I reveled in the excitement of heading off in early morning and the exuberance of tales of a new year and new teachers. Enrolment at Hullett Central Public School for the 2019/2020 year is 253, down slightly from the 260 in June. Hullett had a large graduating class of 29 in June. And there are 24 new Junior Kindergarten pupils this year. Yeah! The faith community of Londesborough United Church will have a special gathering following the regular morning service on Sunday, Sept. 15 to welcome their new minister, Susan McIlveen with a special “Munch and Mingle’ hosted by the Official Board. The following Sunday, Sept. 22, the Londesborough congregation will join Knox United of Auburn at the Ball’s Chapel for their annual joint service there. Service time is 10:30 a.m. Sunday school classes have resumed as of Sept. 8. Well, we are overwhelmed! Thank you seems totally inadequate for the support and comfort our family has received with the passing of our son, Michael. We are proud and pleased to realize how many lives he touched in a positive way. What a wonderful thing that is for his children to remember about their dad. There were so many persons who dropped in to his celebration of life. John and I hope we were able to speak with each of you. Unfortunately, perhaps, we weren't able to spend as long as we might have liked with each of you. But please know your presence was appreciated. The words of condolence and encouragement, the memories shared, the hugs, the cards, the gifts, the calls and the visits will truly help us get through the coming weeks and months without Michael. There are those who continue to keep us in their thoughts and prayers and do know that we feel those prayers winging our way. So again, thank you for caring.
