The Citizen, 2005-05-19, Page 2PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2005. Well the weather continues to be the main topic of conversation as the sky has been full of surprises. From wee bits of hail, to torrents of rain, then splashes of nice warm sunshine each day is a new treat. So when conversation lags, the weather is a sure bet. Another weekend and the feasts continue. On Sunday the United Church fed a sold-out crowd at the BMG Community Centre. A room full of hungry folks all contentedly eating is such a nice sound. As usual the food was good, and unless you were at the very, very end it was plentiful. There’s nothing like a full lummy to put everyone in a good mood. A cookbook from the United folks of Brussels and Ethel will be available for sale in the fall. “United in Taste” is shaping up as the recipes of the community are gathered. Special recipes from folks no longer with us have added a whole new level to this book. So be ready when you’re approached in the fall. The soccer teams are at the ready. Regular games have replaced the practices and now it’s the time to see if the individuals can form a team. Work hard. It will come. Tours off the main highways will reward you this week with wonderful views of marsh marigolds and trilliums. Sometimes it takes a little thought now to find uncultivated land with just the right amount of sun and moisture to make the flowers grow Good groupings of these wildflowers are getting scarce but it’s well worth the thought and time when you find that one field that nearly takes your breath away. It was reunion time for Jack and Audrey Cardiff when all their tribe was together last week. The farther apart family is, the quicker a gathering can come about. Jeanette Lodge meets Hillcrest Lodge, St. Marys visited on Tuesday, May 10 with Morning Star Rebekah Lodge, Brussels to present the travelling gavel. Noble Grand Sister Elva Brown presided for the meeting. Members are thinking of Sisters Dolores Wheeler, Mae Ebel and Leona Connelly, who have been ill. Humanitarian committee representatives Sister Lois McCall reported the Lodge has several walkers, wheelchairs and other equipment available for loan. Several sisters plan to attend St. Marys 51st birthday party on Thursday, May 19. Sisters Elva Brown and Jane Hall will be representatives of the lodge at the inaugural meeting in Exeter. A joint church service with IOOF will be held June 5 at the Presbyterian Church. Fellowship and lunch was enjoyed. The draw for a hanging plant was won by Sister Jane Robinson, St. Marys. and George were in the country from Germany so the other siblings came home to be together. Good times of recalling their days of growing up in Morris Twp., telling of the present lives and looking to the future are always a good part of gatherings. When family is spread apart by geography, reunions are very special. To welcome home their sister, Colleen and family came from Kitchener, Allan and Rob and their families popped in from their farms nearby, Stewart and company came in from St. Marys and Catherine and crew came down from Stayner. Jack and Audrey just watched and smiled. Bonnie Gropp and her son Jason travelled to Toronto on Friday night to hear the Humber Latin Jazz Ensemble, with guitarist Joshua Gropp, at The Hacienda. Enjoy the colour in the fields - so many shades of green. Byejiow, Betty G.W.
