BARBARA BETTLES December 10, 2007 THE DASH 1 read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend, He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth ... And now only those who love her Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; The cars ... the house ... the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. Always loved and remembered each day by daughters Peggy Ann and Marie. —50ar MOORE In loving memory of our Mom and Grandma, Ferre. Moore, who passed away December 12, 2001.

For deep in our hearts Mom, You will always stay, Loved and remembered, Each and every 'day.

Pick your pleasure, choose your seat and have a sit down for our wee visit. I have a cup of brewed house specialty by my side - my house that is and a perfect blend it is too. First I'd like to clear up a little "grey area." Yes, I said I was going to start wishing for snow. No, I don't think that is cause for some of the threats I've re- ceived. I simply want my `Currier and Ives' Christmas and snow is part of that. Once Christmas is over, we can go back to cutting the lawn and playing beach volleyball. And for those who think my wishing for anything actually has any power over the elements - do I have a bridge to sell you. Okay now, lets get down to business. Last week I attended the celebration St. Mary's School offered for sister Adele on the event of her retirement. Each class had put together a gift of presentation for their school secretary, (Mrs. Drennan) for her past 28 years and what a great job they each did. From start to finish the assembly was an amazing tribute, offering Adele their love and respect and a great way to let her know they are going to miss her very much. The cherry on top was an evening function where we heard from past staff and students, board members as well as Adele's own children. A day and evening to remember, adding to the 28 years of memories Mrs. Drennan takes with her Debbie Bauer on this next part of her adventure. I received a lovely surprise in the mail this week. A regular reader sent me a tea lovers book as well as a personal poem for yours truly. Every bit was a joy to read and is a treasure to keep. Thank you Shari Million for the lovely thought and exceptional effort put into the graphics included in my gift. We are all extra busy this time of year so it was especially thoughtful of Shari to go to such lengths to say she enjoys my col- umn. Thank you Shari and the kettle is always on. Recently in euchre: With five tables Dave Sproul and Clarance Allin tied with 68 and Tom Young had 65. High pink card Margaret Young with 70 and Evelyn Christensen with 68. Lone hands were tied at four by Rieta Harris and Cindy Hill. That's all I have for now. From here forward, anything I have to say would be pure fiction. Good luck with the big mall rush every- one. See you in two weeks - if I haven't crawled inside a big turkey somewhere and can't find my way home. If you have any news for me please email wd- bauer@hurontel.on.ca or phone me at 519-529-7820.
