We hope she is back soon. Don't forget the Brussels Cemetery decoration service is this Sunday. The service begins at 2 p.m. and is open to all to attend.

The quilting group that meets in Teeswater regularly, hosts members from Bruce, Grey and Huron Counties, including Joan Bernard, Sharon Freeman and Liz Sholdice. At their last gathering, they confirmed that some of their quilting efforts will be included in the 84 quilts that are being given to families in Fort McMurray who lost their homes in the wildfire. Nice thought ladies. A fun event happened in Trinity United in Listowel on Saturday. Religious Relics was the title used as Auctioneer Horst got folks primed to bid on old crocks, garden gates, old glass communion cups, tables, pulleys, stained glass, boards, wrenches, cribs and chairs.

So it was a fun time, wondering what something was and learning what it could now be. Another time of seeing through different eyes. It was party time in Cranbrook as the world recognized that Frank Workman really is 75. Fireworks marked the occasion as neighbours, friends and family gathered to celebrate. Making the party complete, both sons were home — Craig from London was the official firecracker with Peter from Yellowknife as back up. Good party Frank.
