Country livin' for Chelsey Park
BY DAVID SCOTT
Expositor Staff
It was like City Slickers II, the
movie starring Billy Crystal. A
group of residents from Chelsey
Park Retirement Community of
London, Ontario returned to the
country for another barbecue and
hayride on the farm of Charlie and
Veronica Price near Dublin on
Friday. Many of the same residents
took the trip last year with Maureen
(Price) Ross and Cathy Mctelnick,
Social Recreation Facilitators for
Chelsey Park.
Why do residents enjoy taking
this excursion to the country?
"I like it," said Fred Howson. "I
was brought up on a farm. I like
the quietness of the country. It's
more peaceful than in town.'
"I love it because I don't know
anything about it," said Ray Rose,
who said this is only his second trip
to the country.
This is the second time this sum-
mer Chelscy Park residents have
been to the Seaforth area. Earlier
this summer a picnic was held at
Lion's Park, Scaforth.
Other recent trips have been to
Elora Gorge, Bayfield, St. Thomas,
St. Marys and Port Stanley.
"Their favourite is ice cream in
Port Stanley. They really seem to
like that," said Maureen Ross.
Other favourite trips for Chelsey
Park residents this summer have.
included a boat cruise in
Springbank Park and fishing in a
stocked pond in Strathroy.
Charlie and Veronica Price enjoy
hosting this event which has turned
into an annual outing.
"Maureen's parents are very hos-
pitable. They're genuinely happy to
have you," said Cecil Rorabeck.
"Getting out in the country is a
thrill. I was never a farm -person but
it's nice to get out and see the
garden here an(ksee things grow-
ing," said Rorabeck referring to the
Prices' full garden teeming with
fresh vegetables and flowers in
bloom.
"I was born on a farm and grew
up on a farm," said Anne Hutton,
Chelsey Park resident. "I just love
the country. I love birds," said

Nursing Home
Residents enjoy
trip to Stratford
The weatherape beauti-
fully as residents of Seaforth Manor
Nursing Home enjoyed a lovely bus
trip to Stratford this past week.
Everyone loved seeing the flower
beds surrounding the Shakespearean
Festival as well as the Kiwanis Park
where residents enjoyed afternoon
refreshments. The drive along the
Avon river . was lovely and all
reported they had a grand time.
The movie Beethoven II provided
hilarious entertainment for everyone
as they enjoyed the antics of the St.
Bernard puppies.
Rev. Sloan held a very interesting
Bible Study. Rev. Redden con-
ducted worship service.
Providing the birthday party were
Bill and Rena Young's "Notes of
Yesteryear' band. Eight residents
celebrated their birthdays in August.

DOWN ON THE FARM - A group of residents from Chelsey Park
in London made a retum trip to the farm of Veronica and Charlie
Price near Dublin for a hayride and barbecue on Friday.
Hutton, an avid bird -watcher.
"I've never been on a farm to any
extent," said Lloyd Jackson, former-
ly of Brussels, whose father was a
jeweller. "I like it very much. It's a
new experience, not being a
farmer's son or having any relatives
on a farm."
Margery Ruby was back on the
trip to the Prices for a second time.
"I was here last year and ,enjoyed
it," said Ruby.
Hopefully the tradition will con-
tinue next year and more fans of
the country will make the trip from
the city down to the farm.
