Thus the giving of thanks was ever more poignant in the company of so many who are dear to us. I trust you, too, shared in giving thanks for all the wonderful aspects of our lives here in our small corner of the world. The events of Sept. 11 and the recent bombings by the United States are a reminder that we are truly blessed each and every day. food and Christ asked the disciples if there was anything available. They said that there were seven loaves of bread. Jesus told the crowd to sit in a circle. He blessed the bread and told them to give it to the crowd. There were also a fcw small fishes which were also blessed and given to the people. So the crowd ate and were satis- fied. There were thousands of people yet seven baskets of leftover food was clustered on the large leaves. About 10 a.m. I was talking to my daughter in Kippen. They had had no snow there but it began to fall• as we talked. We had another flurry here at the same time. The number of birds coming to the feeders have lessened. I still have chickadees, nuthatches and jays but not as many. I realize now that they are proba- bly getting food from harvested fields. Coming home on Friday we saw one field with hundreds of Canada geese busily feeding. Normally we have two pairs of The For Sale/Sold sign has been down for some time now on the home formerly owned by the Aidrie family on Londesboro's main street. So it's welcome to see lights on again and the new occupants work- ing at adapting their new home to their needs. We welcome to the village John and Helen Darling, Alex Darling, and Helen's daughter, Mary-Ann Shiell from the Brunner area. I know you will endeavour to introduce yourselves and help them become comfortable in our village. Sadly, as one house becomes a home another has recently been offered for sale. Audrey Thompson has decided the time is right for a move to Goderich Place. She and her late husband Bob came to Londesboro some 40 years ago to operate the post office and general store and both were active partici- pants over the years in village hap- penings. The members of my family are numbered among the many who will miss her presence in our lives/village. However, we trust, her new surroundings will bring her comfort and the enjoyment of new friends.

Christ and the disciples then went by boat to Dalmanutha where the Pharisees questioned him and wished for a sign. They left and trav- elled on. They still did not under- stand. At Bethsaido, a blind man came to him and he cured him. He told him to tell no one. Later Christ told the disciples about his future and asked them cardinals, but lately there as only been one pair. Mrs. Cardinal dined one day this week, then on Saturday Mr. Cardinal was enjoying his break- fast as I was having mine. Later on I thought I saw him in the weigela bush. Aren't the leaves lovely? They are such beautiful designs and such a variety of shades. Isn't nature won- derful? A number of Aubumites attended the delicious Thanksgiving dinner at the Anglican Church, Blyth. It was turkey with all the trimmings and delicious pumpkin pie with whipped cream. A witch greeted us. She also gave us a thanksgiving contest to the church.
