It was a yellow brick century home, surrounded by hollyhocks, antique roses and dogwood, all under the protective boughs of pine trees .that looked as though they might whisper 150-year-old secrets if you listened close enough. If the photo and description were not tantalizing enough, the name of the village filled our minds with intrigue. In no time at all, we were in our beat-up Honda, map in hand, in search of Ethel. (My husband and his family were longtime residents of Listowel and he claimed to know vaguely of its location, although he claimed to never have actually been to this place called Ethel!) I can still remember the butterflies in my stomach as we drove into town — streets lined with mature maples, two quaint churches, a ball diamond and park, community centre, firehall and general store-type building com- plete with an old "Mountain Dew" sign swaying in the wind. An old mill down the street by the bridge as well as many of the homes spoke of the town's age and rich history. We found the house in the photo which was quite easy as it stood smack in the middle of town. The story continued, and here we sit — in that yellow brick house, smack in the middle of Ethel. My husband Bob has since joined the Grey Twp. firefighters and drives truck for a local feed mill. Two of our children, Jess and Ben, attend Grey Central Public School while Christopher prepares to relinquish his role as "baby" to his newest sib- ling due in March. We continue to learn about the his- tory of Ethel, although many more stories come from the folks in town than the whispering of those pines. We are blessed to have gotten to know some of Ethel's finest people and enjoyed the most delicious fare at church dinners. We moved from a place where our neighbour stood and watched- my husband load our furniture into our truck, to this town of Ethel where we were met by Isobel Pearson with warm welcomes and even warmer muffins and Marg Fournier with tasty preserves! It goes without saying that Ethel, perhaps like any town, anywhere has well, quirks, if you will. It is my hope that through this column we might show you glimpses of Ethel that outshine those quirks and bring about the warmth and sense of com- munity here. I welcome input, ideas and tidbits and extend an open invitation for people to call or drop by our home to chat.
