Well, Easter has come and gone, but it was a beautiful weekend. With the weather one couldn't help but have a terrific holiday! We were very busy last week preparing for the Easter holiday, along with keeping up with our daily programs. Here's a sample of last weeks activities. On Monday we began our 1987 Good Egg Contest. The good egg was secretly chosen by the activity staff,. then all week long clues were given every morning. With those clues both staff and residents try to figure out who the good egg was for 1987. On Thursday, April 16, at 1:00 p.m. our good egg was announced. We'd like to congratulate Mrs. Betty McIver for being themysterious good egg, and for being a good sport. • The lucky lady who guessed right was Mrs. Wanda McClinchey. Con- gratulations to Wanda and Betty, and to all those who participated in the good egg contest! Monday afternoon we kept with the Easter theme and made cute little rabbit " faces out of paper plates. Everyone did a super job; Bugs Bun- ny .would be proud. Finally, Monday evening brought us to weekly bingo with the Hensall Presbyterian ladies who came in to visit and help us play our favourite game. After Tuesday morning exercises . we had our weekly church service in . the afternoon. This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Rev. Matheson who conducted the service for us, and Rhoda Rohde who accom- panied him on the piano. Wednesday was a very busy day for all of us at Queensway We began it by doing exercises in the morning, which was followed by Easter crafts in the afternoon. Some of us made Easter centerpieces for our tables on Sunday morning, while the rest of us decorated the traditional Easter egg. All our creations turned out terrific thanks to the Zurich Mennonite Ladies who came in to help us out, as well as to fatten us up with their delicious baked goods! Thank you ladies for all your time and effort. Lastly, on Thursday Joyce Pepper came in to play the piano and lead us in our choir practice. It was a delightful hour of singing our favour - tie tunes! Immediately following choir it was time for the movie of the week which was called "Amish People of Preser- vation." It was a good film which was very enlightening to watch. TROY-BILT' Roto Niers • Rear tines, powered wheels! • So easy, you guide It with JUST ONE HAND! • Models sized for every garden!
