CraigweH Seniors celebrate life
AILSA CRAIG - Just about any
excuse to celebrate life will do for
the Craigwiel Day Center Seniors:
The 86th birthday of the ice cream
cone was one of those' excuses. As
we licked on our cones, we contem-
plated all the joy the thoughts of
and' actual eating of ,the ice cream
cone has brought to young and old
in its 86 years! Would that each 'of
us could do as much to, bring joy to
our world!
Twice with the gorgeous Indian
Summer weather, we took a sponta-
neous, spur-of-the-moment jaunt
for the day. The first time we head-
ed to the Apple Tree in Arkona for
lunch, then to Kettlepoint where
the drive was almost breathtakingly
beautiful and the colour of the trees
was truly awesome.
The second time we explored the
back roads through Lucan, Granton,
St. Marys and Stratford. On the
way back, we stopped at Uniondale
where we stocked up on cheese.
Evelyn McNaughton took us on
one of her popular arm chair trav-
els, this time through Spain, Portu—
galand Gibralter. Besides some in-
teresting scenery, we got to see her
favorite tour guide again! We really
feel privileged to have someone like
Eveyln do the travelling for us so

On trips or at the Centre, our
conversations take all kinds of un-
expected turns. It could be anything
from fascinating variations of para-
chutes, to the endangered caboose to
the lasting results of stepping on
people's feet!
During October we also had a re-
freshing change of pace in our pro-
grams, when Irene Bouris and Helen
Young, students in the Nursing
program at UWO, spent a few days
with us speaking about and offering
help in the areas of nutrition and
exercise.

us up and gives us added energy, for
that day was especially lively and
left us feeling almost exuberant.
