Huronlea residents enjoy visit from buddies
By Olive Sproul
On Tuesday, Oct. 29 Cindy did a
'beauty boutique giving manicures
to anyone who wanted one.
On Halloween we were treated to
a spooky party when Huron Strings
entertained with Donald and Daisy
Duck wiggling their bottoms. There
was a third member of the orchestra
also dressed as a 'quacker'. They
were all having fun.
The staff and a few of the more
mobile residents were also in
costume. Their participation in the
various entertainments adds to the
enjoyment.
Most people love to sing and
harmonize. We all had a ball
singing along with the band. This
was a very enjoyable party.
Now we are back on standard
time. It is less stressful to change
back that hour, than it was to move
forward in the spring. Nevertheless
it's disorienting for a week or two
whichever way we monkey with
the clocks.
November, the gray month
dawned wet and clammy cold on a
Friday. The Americans brighten it
up with their Thanksgiving, but
we've had ours last month. The
only thing approaching a holiday is
Remembrance Day, and which,
though a holiday of sorts, it has
such solemn connotations that it is
not a celebration at all, although we
may well celebrate the freedom we
are blessed with. Still we must
regret the terrible price we paid in
the two wars. In Canada, every
little town and hamlet, every
whistle stop or crossroads lost

some of their- young men. They
mourn them sincerely each fall
when even the weather weeps.
Hundreds of thousands of monu-
ments are visited by parades of
their comrades who returned. There
are not many old soldiers left from
the 1914/18 war and the ranks are
thinning among the survivors of the
1939/45 war.
We had a more joyous
celebration on Nov. 1. We helped
Mac and Charlotte Davidson
celebrate their 57th wedding
anniversary. There was lovely
music on that occasion too. That's a
long time to be married.
Marion Eadie came to play to us.
She was pleasantly surprised to
find that the piano had been tuned
since she had played it last. Two
women came in to play in place of
Phyllis Mitchell, who usually
entertains for an hour or so each
month. Phyllis, however had torn
the most important finger on her
left hand, so that she can not finger
the neck of her fiddle.
Later that day our "buddies"
marched into our hearts, as they
always do. Each child had brought
a game or a deck of cards. Kelly,
Erica and myself played several
games of fish and after that we
played a board game. Something
like Monopoly. As usual it was a
very enjoyable afternoon.
Thursday morning brings Roman
Catholic mass. After we have a
review of the week's news and in
the afternoon 20 wing watches a
movie, while the rest of us do crafts
with Kathy.
Sunday church services were
held with Rev. Beale, conducting
the non-denominational service.
We watched How the West Was
Won with twins Kate and Ashley
Olson. It was an enjoyable movie
western.
At the monthly birthday party
the Old Tunes, who had played for
the October birthday party
entertained. Steve called them up in
a tizzy when the Seaforth Old-
Timers phoned that they couldn't
come because the weather was too
stormy. The Old Tunes live in the
real snow belt being from Gorrie.
We were very grateful that they
braved the snow and came to our
rescue bringing not only them-
selves and the entertainment, but
the refreshments too! A draw was
held for a lovely, warm, blue
flannelette nightgown. It was won
by Tammy Martene, Mary Lou
Driscoll's daughter. 'Louie' is one
of the nursing staff here.
Those celebrating birthdays this
month are Annie Williamson, who
was 87, Velma Naylor both from
the nursing home and Wilfred
Strickler, from the apartments.
For the sweet tooth
Katie Clark, left, and Chrissy Mason had a great time
preparing sundaes, made-to-order, during the Ark's SAFE
(Substance Abuse Free Environment) week activities. As
well as ice cream, youths were invited to test non-
alcoholic mixed drinks, learn about the pitfalls of drug use
and dance the evening away, over the three-day event.
