Hello! We hope everyone had a
super holiday weekend, and are
preparing themselves for several
turkey sandwiches and casseroles in
the coming week!
Our Monday exercise session once
again got us motivated for the busy
week of activities that lay ahead of us,
such as the weekly bingo game held
Monday afternoon. The ladies aux-
iliary from Hensall United Church
came in and started off our regular
Monday afternoon bingo sessions. We
all had a lot of fun as well, as all of
us being winners. Congratulations
everyone!
Tuesday afternoon was our special
Thanksgiving church service. Rev.
Ken Knight performed a beautiful
service which was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. After the service we enjoyed
a tea party which featured pumpkin
muffins made by our Baking Club.
The muffins, along with the whole
afternoon, were excellent.
A concert sing -a -long that was
organized by the the Health Care
Aides from Conestogo College, woke
us up on Wednesday morning. We had
the pleasure of welcoming Frank
Bisset from Huronview who played
the piano, while we enjoyed singing
our favourite songs.
Wednesday evening the movie of
the week was "The Marvelous Moun-
tain Goat". It was &super nature film
that illustrated to as the habitat and
year round life of this beautiful
animal.
On Thursday it was once again time
for choir practice. We spent about one
and one-half hours trying to get our
vocal cords back into shape, and we
are starting to sound pretty good - if
I may say so myself.
Our busy week ended on a musical
note. We danced to some of our old,
yet favourite tunes, by Glen Miller. 1t
was a perfect and enjoyable way to
end our (unfilled week:
