Pip back from Florida. I had quite a busy winter, helping with three big art shows and keeping up with all the things happening at the Sarasota Art Centre. I also started two groups of art lessons in portraiture, which is som6thing I've always wanted to do. These lessons were in Venice ( 20 miles south of us) so I was down there two or three times a week. The highway driving certain- ly kept me on my toes. • The weather was beautiful down there and there was no big freeze this year, but very little rain either. I am happy to be home again. For a coupld of weeks I had trouble recalling names and streets which is pretty inconve- nient when you know where you want to go but have to figure out how to get there. I had forgotten how much fun the garage and yard sales could be. I think of these sales as a treasure hunt. You get your in,- structions from the want ads of the Signal Star and away you go. I'm sure I went through a quarter of a tank of gas trying to find the first one but then I lined them up so I didn': retrace* my route quit'et, often. Do you think we could convince the -ad-takers' to line these sales up according to the map? Good idea! The things you see or find at these yard sales are often memory joggers. You hear people telling how their grandparents had • one 'just like that.' Or you find something you've wanted for years for a fraction_of it's original cost. I have often thought of our trip to Expo '67 in Montreal and wished I'd brought back a souvenir. Well, I found a nice small tray with the Pavilion of Canada picture on it for only 10 cents at a yard sale. I was tickled pink. It has very little ruse on it. I'll just spray it and it will seem like new again even after 28 years. We went to Expo with, son Doug and Madeline and five greenlins. We found a good campground not far from Expo and we had lots of equipment including a jim-dandy magic cooker that gave up the best roast in a few minutes or mouth-watering stews we all eakyed. Can you picture four adults and five kids in one tent? Somehow it never seemed too crowded. Each day we spent at Expo we planned a meeting place and I was in charge of the twin's, Bill and Bob who were about six years old. The boys were very smart, hav- ing spent time in England, France and Ger- many. It was a treat and an education to squire them around. I know I learned a lot of things that they already knew. That great, wide, wonderful world of Ex- po, I'm sure, will always be remembered by thousands. Besides the little tray I found a ° Wedgewood plate of our parliament buildings, Mounties and all. I've added a few more plates to mY collec- tion and have had fun talking to old friends I run into as I make my way through all the treasures to be found at these sales. At Maitland Manor a Strawberry Social and Balloon -Off will be held on Thursday, June 20th from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. You are invited to join us. Monies raised will be donated to the Alzheimer Society for research into the cause and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The "Balloon -Off" is a fun project. Helium filled balloons are purchased for 50 cents each. Whoever has the balloon that goes the longest distance, and the person who finds it, both receive a prize. Please plan to come and take part. Other happenings at Maitland Manor this month include the birthday party for residents celebrating their birthdays in June. They include Helen Fulford, Ivan Carter, Lillian Armstrong, Les Pentland, Jean Chowen, Jean Riseborough, Mary Rowed and Elsie Jackson. Families and friends are invited to arrend the birthday party on Wednesday, June 26 at 2:00 p.m. Thanks are expressed to the Maple Leaf Chapter, IODE who came into the home last month to help celebrate Queen Victoria's Birthday assisted by the GDCI Jazz Choir, under the leadership of Eleanor Robinson.
