Columnist remembers last year’s water problems
“Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh
what a beautiful…”, with the sun
shining and the sky clear, that old
show tune keeps running in my head
as I get ready to write this morning.
There’s nothing like a beautiful
February day.
Did you ever stop to think about
the zoos we have in our backyards?
We have a variety of pretty birds
busy at the feeders, some folks lucky
enough to enjoy a pair of cardinals
outside their window for dinner.
Then we have the acrobatic
squirrels, comfortable in a variety of
positions trying their luck at each
feeder. The bunnies are also out and
about, all for our enjoyment as we
take the opportunity to enjoy nature
as it is.
A life well lived was celebrated on
Saturday as friends and family
helped Sheila say a public goodbye
to a good friend, Brian Prescott.
When someone dies, each person
affected by that death holds a special
memory. As the reality of death, the
finality of it takes hold, it is so often
those memories that get you through
the tough days. As friends in
community, it is our job to share
those stories and make the
worthiness of that life remain
important.
Brian was part of an informal
group here in Brussels, labelled the
Culture Club. Every Monday
breakfast was their agenda, at a
variety of eating places over the
years, the other days, coffee and
conversation was the only order of
business. Brian shared many good
memories with this group. For me it
was the smile and twinkle in his eye.
Farewell Brian.
Winter always needs a little help to
make it pleasant for everyone, well
almost everyone, and so both
Valentine’s day and Heritage/Family
Day have become events to celebrate
as the winter passes. I truly love both
of these, but for me, this winter I’m
adding Water day, no, make it the
whole month. To celebrate this
year’s birthday I’ll have water on
tap. So I’m celebrating the nice road
crews of last summer. Oh life is
good. This year I can look at the
snow on the patio and think how
pretty and not; like last year, see
potential for toilet flushes.
Happy Birthday to the Valentine’s
boys in my life, Jack, Ken, Clif and
Ethan. Happy Valentine’s Day and
enjoy it with flowers and candy.
Bye Now, Betty G.W.

A NOTE FROM BETTY
At the Branch
Lack of propane delays dinner
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was a normal week around the
Brussels Legion Branch but a busy
weekend. The Thursday night darts
started the weekend with 12 players
taking aim at the boards. Winners
were: first, Deb Burch and Sheron
Stadelmann; second, Daisy Wong
and John Stadelmann; high shot,
Gord Jacklin and John, 114. The
Stadelmanns were “hot shots” of the
night since returning from their two-
week vacation down south.
The Friday night supper had the
usual crowd of about 20 enjoy the
roast pork supper. The supper was
delayed until just after 6 p.m.
because of the unexpected lack of
propane. Luckily, the meat was
cooked and with an emergency call
to Sparlings in less than an hour, the
kitchen was back in business. We
appreciate the patience of the diners.
This week’s menu is sausage and
sauerkraut.
