appointments each day for urgent care. If you do not have a family

PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 2004.
It's sure a good thing to see new
and different folks once in a
while. Last week was our time to
wander about southern and
eastern Ontario checking the
weather, the birds, the family,
some friends and doing a little
business.
Driving our part of the world on
May days is a real privilege and
an education. The fields are
always good to watch — the
growth, the activity setting up for
the growth, the - animals, the
equipment being used — each field
has a story to reveal.
Brother Bob and better half
Barb are now calling Bobcageon
home and truly enjoying all the
joys of a small-town atmosphere.
The presence of water during
conversation just puts a calming
tone to life so viewing Pidgeon
Lake, part of the Trent waterways
system from their porch is pretty
fine.
The joys of nature were alive
and well as the stop at the cottage
on. North Beaver Lake proved.
The weather was just right for
reading and relaxing and we
didn't seem to interfere in the life
that is not ours. The ducks were
quite busy and_ made for great
entertainment especially when
we're not used to watching buffle
heads and mergansers living their
life. To make us comfortable a
pair of mallards were in residence
as well. This area is known as the
Land of Lakes and it is true to the
word for the map is dotted with
many, many big and little ones.
Nurses Reunion time was the
next stop — now that's a time for
you to take stock of your life. I've
been hanging out yearly with
these women for over 30, and the
remember stories are not
improving but .they sure cause a
good belly laugh. That alone is
worth the stop in Guelph each
May. As you realize these folks
have known your good and bad
since 1967 and still are happy to
see you — that's a gift. Sometimes
I wonder what the Sisters of St.
Joseph made of all those teenagers
but they did a fine job of training
nurses.
So we had a good time away —
checking on new and old people
and places, stopping in to view the
common and the wonderful and
just had a good change of scenery.
Speaking of scenery we
received a new magazine this
month produced by the Reader's
Digest company called Our
Canada. Pretty neat when
Goderich and Bobcageon were
two towns they think are tops. Us
too.
So liome to family and the
celebration of Mother's. Day —
with grown and away family it is
a real occasion when all the boys
are at the table together. Hurrah
for family time. Life is good.

Photography Club held its first and

Val Watson. She brought along many
pictures and showed us that taking
pictures from different angles and
distances can make a difference. She
also stressed cutting out any
unwanted background. After a snack
they walked to the Brussels Park and
played a game, in which the loser had
to strike an embarrassing pose. They
also got to set up people to take their
own fun shots.
