They also saw the island of
Tobago, some of its resorts and the
Barbados. They were two days at sea
and enjoyed a great week of hot
weather.
There were lots of people from the
area who travelled to Kitchener to
see the Scott Tournament of Hearts
Ladies Curling Championships at
the auditorium on the weekend. Rick
and I were down on Saturday and we
saw Brad Speiran, Ross Veitch,
Pauline Patterson, and Rick Knight.
On Sunday, Mary Bernard went with
me and we met many of those same
faces as well as Leslie Knight, Bill,
Marjorie, Paul and Peggy
Humphries.
I’m sure there were lots of others
but with 2,500 to 3,300 spectators
for the games we probably missed a
few familiar faces.
Murray and Janice Sholdice
welcomed a new baby boy, Matthew
George into their family. His brother
Jackson is thrilled. They live in
London but keep in touch with
family connections in Walton.
The Jim McDonald family
travelled to Sarnia for the weekend
as Sarah played hockey there. The
team won two games and lost two
games but all were very close.
The final game they played
against Mitchell on Saturday
evening was quite a game. Scoreless
enjoy tropical days at sea
after regulation time, overtime
followed. They played nine periods
of' five-minute overtime before
Mitchell scored to end the game 1-0.
Congratulations to the team for a
great effort.
Marilyn McDonald also travelled
to Sarnia to spend time visiting
daughter Pat, son-in-law Michael
and granddaughter Andrea. They
also attended Sarah’s hockey games
and spent time just visiting.
There was a great turnout for the
wedding reception for Barb
Finlayson Vincent and Dean Vincent
on Saturday evening at the BM&G
Arena. The couple was married in
the Dominican Republic on Jan. 28.
The reception was decorated with
the islands in mind even with sand
on the tables. There were speeches
and a meal at 11 p.m. and the bride
and groom were dressed in their
wedding day attire.
Congratulations to the newlyweds.
More changes on the 17th line of
Grey (Walton Rd). Jeff and Sarah
Grobbink have moved onto the line
and we welcome them to the
community.
A new arrival on the line was a
new lamb at Patty Banks’. Mother
Dolly gave birth to baby Banksy on
the coldest night. Needless to say,
the lamb is keeping really close to
the heat lamp.
Walton euchre was cancelled due
to weather and will return Feb. 27.
Are you seeing more young
people around this week? You
should as many of the college and
university students are off for
reading week. Many mothers are
hoping to get a little help or work out
of these students, but I’m told by
mine, there’s still homework and
reports and assignments to be done.
Oh well!
Birthday babies this past week
include Margaret Rogerson, Vai
Pethick, Gary McNichol, Jack
Knight, Peter McDonald, Allan
Searle, Murray Houston, Meagan
Campbell, and Phil Blake. Congrats
to those who manage to celebrate
through these cold days.
