A NOTE FROM BETTY By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 887-9231 The surprises of January continue to amaze and entertain. Sun and rain, fog and snow with just a touch of wind for good measure have been on our agenda again this week. It sure makes life interesting just to check out the window, and even more of a challenge to get somewhere. A drive home from Kitchener last Wednesday was one of my worst for this winter and it was because of fog. It was the determining factor in driving speed as it blew across the car like a blizzard. It came across like our “whiteouts” made of snow. Waves of varying whiteness blowing across the car made that drive one for the memory - a fog storm in January. The Watson boys are in celebration mode as they travelled to Tucson, Arizona to help Barry get into his 65th year of life. Bert, Jim, Barry, Joe, Ralph and John made a formidable crew in Morris Twp. in the decades past as they grew up. Now scattered all over the place they are together celebrating as they start into the next stages of their life. January is a time to do the wee jobs that get neglected in the other months and so I dumped a drawer in the name of cleaning but found myself on a nostalgic journey. Wedding invitations, funeral cards, clippings from The Post, graduation pictures - what a pleasant afternoon I had. The names and faces brought back some great memories as well as total recall of many little things that make up a day. As I reviewed the ages past I once again realized that life is about the people that we are with. Memories are about the little'details and the years gone by are to make us realize the importance of each day. Now all 1 have to do is get my memories in a little order. On second thought I like finding treasures in January. The hockey and figuring skating gang are in full speed ahead as they make their commifments to games and practices. Grease is the theme for the skating club presentation this year and they invite you to their afternoon performance on Jan. 30. Take time to gel that book read.
