Now that school is in, I thought maybe the school bus drivers might like to read this, although they probably know it off by heart. (Just kidding.)
A Bus Driver' Prayer - Author Unknown
Please, watch me this day. Please help me remember to watch all five mirrors, two dozen windows, eight gauges, six warning lights, six dozen faces, three lanes of traffic and to keep a third eye open for wobbling bicycles and daydreaming pedestrians, especially teenagers wearing headsets who are in another world. Please help me hear all train whistles, truck and automobile horns, police sirens and the two-way radio. Please also let me hear when one of my students calls for me, and just needs a listening ear. Please, give me a hand for the gear lever, the steering wheel, the route book, the radio microphone and the turn-signal lever, while being able to hand out Kleenexes, pencils, or other things the kids may need. And please grant me the self-control to keep my hands away from Johnny's neck when he's pinching and biting Billy, while trying to keep everybody in their seat, and reminding them that sticking their head outside the window is not safe. And one more thing, please don't let Mary be sick all over the bus. And finally please watch over us all so that we can do it again next year.
It's time again for another fundraiser in Maymont, the fall craft and trade show at the Maymont Memorial Hall, Nov. 16. We will have space for 15 tables upstairs and six tables downstairs.
The hall will be open Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m., giving everyone a chance to set up their tables. If you have an article you would like to give as a door prize, we will have a table set up for your donation. Everyone who attends will have a chance to win a door prize. It's a great way to introduce a new customer to your business.
If you wish to have a table, please let me know. If you have a preference as to where you would like your table to be or if you need power, etc., the sooner we get your form and cheque, the better we will be to do this.. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me 306-389-2440. If I'm not in, please leave a message.
The Legends are coming Oct. 26, featuring Kitty Wells, Ann Murray, John Denver and a tribute to George Jones and Rita McNeil, with a fantastic backup band. More information will follow.
