It was quite a surprise for Jim and Evelyn Blake a week ago, when daughters Lisa and Heather drove to Sudbury_ to pick up youngest daughter Lorraine and bring her home for her 21st birthday. The girls report a long drive but well worth the look of surprise on Mom and Dad's faces. While home. they also celebrated the Blake Christmas. That's George and Marie's family, at the Catholic Church Hall in Brussels. It's also soon time for all our college and university students to he home for Christmas holidays. Most have been busy writing exams and soon our homes will notice a noisy change as they return. Friends of Gerald Watson and his fat cat Snoop will be glad to know that Snoop is feeling better.-Snoop is in the Guinness World Book of Records for being the world's heaviest cat at 42 lbs.

As reported Doug Fraser has had eye surgery and after his checkup on Monday. is doing very well. Son Clayton and daughters Amanda and Instead of a partridge in a pear tree this holiday season, why not aim for a downy woodpecker on bird pudding, or a pine siskin on a niger seed feeder? Christmas isn't just for people. Participants in Project Feeder Watch, a North American-wide program aimed at monitoring backyard birds through the dreary winter months and provide special treats for the birds over the holidays. Bird Studies Canada . (BSC) promotes and organizes the Canadian event each year. "At Christmas time we place raisins, cranberries and cut-up apples on the ground feeder as well as directly on the ground; the birds love this," says Donna Daubney, a Project Feeder Watch participant from Ashton, ON. Another anonymous Feeder Watcher sent in a note on how to make use of the Christmas tree once the season is over. "Each year we save a section of our Christmas tree. We prune back the branches, drill holes in the stem, and then screw it to one of the upright roof supports on our deck. Each morning through the winter I fill the holes with crunchy, natural peanut butter. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees and magpies empty it by the evening." Bird puddings (mixtures of rendered suet and nuts, grains, seeds, fruit, grape jelly, and eggshells) are also special treats for birds at Christmas time. Cherry juice gives the pudding a festive colour, and a green bow completes the look! Slather pine cones with peanut butter and decorate them with frozen mountain ash berries (or other colourful, natural bird treats), and hang them from your outdoor Christmas tree for a holiday look the birds will love. Project FeederWatch has over 16,000 participants across North America, 2,81)0 from Canada.
