Residents laboured through the repetitions hoping to work off some of the extra Christmas treats and eggnog everyone has been enjoying. In the afternoon a relaxing time was spent at Library Hour. Breakfast group met Tuesday morning with volunteer Lillian Beer assisting. Residents dined on eggs made to order, crispy bacon, toast, slices of melon, juice and lots of piping hot coffee and tea. The combination of eight residents around the oak dining table makes for interesting conversation. Pat Dobbs led worship Tuesday afternoon with a service of lessons and song. Choir members Betsy Rowcliffe and Don McCaffrey assisted and Belva Fuss was volunteer organist. Euchre enthusiasts played their favourite game in the dining room Wednesday afternoon with volunteer Marg Cole in attendance. Several residents also benefitted from manicures and fresh polish in preparation for the special Christmas events. Coffee and current events drew a good crowd Thursday morning as the local weeklies and daily papers were perused and residents were kept abreast of the happenings in the community. In the afternoon several ladies baked and decorated sugar cookies and discussed the amount of baking that used to be completed for the Christmas season. Friday evening the Retirement Home lounge was filled with the wonderful music of Harvey Smith and friends. Volunteer Edna Dietz was also in attendance to assist residents and help serve refreshments. Saturday afternoon Queensway was filled to capacity with residents, their families and friends for the Christmas party and dance with John and Geneva Heaman. John and Geneva had a brief break in the middle of their program while volunteer Belva Fuss played piano to accompany residents in the singing of Christmas carols. A very jolly Santa Claus also paid a visit while delicious Christmas treats, eggnog, hot apple cider and cranberry juice were served by auxiliary volunteers. Dublin says farewell to Father Charbonneau During Sunday morning mass, followed by a huge happy get-together in St. Vincent de Paul parish hall, a large group of people said farewell to Father Charbonneau. After five and a half years at both Mitchell and Dublin churches, he is heading for Gander Newfoundland for two years. • After the mass was completed, the young children gave their part to show their love and skill and they presented this to our pastor. Susan Christie (in the name of the parish) also presented Father Charbonneau with a gift. Many St. Vincent de Paul ladies were working in the church hall setting up a delicious cake and luncheon to the enjoyment of the people who attended. Father was then heading Dublin for St. Patrick's Church, Dublin, for a mass and a celebration there. In the interim, Father Chris Quinlan (newly retired) will be taking over until the end of January, 2005. Then our new pastor, Father-Dewan will be taking over in Dublin and Mitchell. St. Patrick's C.W.L. raised $600 at their bake sale. Frank Kistner, of Dublin, husband of Ann Kistner, died over the weekend. THOUGHT FOR TODAY Christmas is more than carols and stars, It's more than glitter and shine, Christmas is love and peace and goodwill, That dwell in your heart and mine. Merry Christmas, everyone.
