Smiling faces, satisfied appetites
Four-year-old Adam Cousins was all smiles as he enjoyed the leap year luncheon held at
Brussels United Church last Thursday. Also filling up on the delicious offerings were Merle
Cousins, left, and Sheila Cousins.
A Note from Betty
Now doesn’t that dirty grass on your lawn just make you wish for another
foot of snow? It really does wreck a nice sunny day gazing at all the
branches and garbage that needs attention when you’d rather just enjoy the
weather and not have to work already. Oh well, this too shall pass.
I hope you attended the World Day of Prayer last Friday. It’s one of those
gatherings that has been part of our community forever. It was held this year
at the Mennonite Church with participation from all our churches. World
Day of Prayer has been happening on the first Friday of March since early in
the 20th century and at present the same service is conducted in 170
countries. That’s pretty awesome!
Our girls that play with the Seaforth Marching Band are getting their
suitcases ready for their trip south of the border. They’ll be spending their
March Break sunning and playing up a storm. Have a great time girls.
The critters know about the change in the weather. I can’t believe how
many of the little dears, and yes, deers, are out at the side of the road at
night now. Ah spring.
If you're between 17 and 71 - your body is needed at the high school in
Wmgham on Thursday afternoon or evening. A blood donor clinic is being
held and as usual your donation is badly needed. For less than an hour of
your time you can help seven other people with their health problems. Pretty
good returns I’d say. Give a little of yourself.
Ask Lori Pipe - not Gary - I repeat - not Gary about investment
techniques.
Bye now,
Betty G.
