Hooray! The sun came out today (March 31). It was such a treat after being so overcast and cool most of March. However now it's April and I'm sure we will all be hoping for some lovely sunny weather.
As for news in March, many of us were watching curling, we have many curling fans here in the Tower. Congratulations to Rachel Halmon’s rink from Ontario who won the gold medal in China. Good luck to Canadian Brad Gushue and rink from Newfoundland who are curling in Edmonton as I write this.
We do have our other usual going on, too; card games, shuffleboard and bingo. Some of our tenants go over to Tower I for bingo on Monday evenings and then they reciprocate by coming here on Saturday evenings. It's so nice when they all get together like that.Â
I was given some Kaiser scores and they are: first game - 1. Alpha Schmirler, 2. Shirley Tebay, 3. Genny Craig; second game - 1. Shirley Tabay, 2. Ann Ewanchuk, 3. Alpha Schmirler; third game - 1. Louise Haubold, 2. Shirley Tebay, 3. Ken Tucker.
Congratulations to Mary Dearborn who celebrated her 90th Birthday in March. She received many cards and gifts from her family and friends near and far.
Germaine Dagenaise left North Battleford at the end of January and flew out to Victoria. She stayed with family for 12 days. She then took the bus to Chilliwack to visit her life-long friend Jane Bishop. Germaine went to Trail spending 10 days with her grandson Adam and family. She had a great time with her great-grandchildren. Then on to Salma where she spent a few days with her granddaughter Ashley, then home again. She says the month of February passed quickly for her. On the second week in March she drove up to Buffalo Narrows to spend a week with her daughter Janet. The last week in March, she went to visit friends in Prince Albert and Carrot River. She then came home to a wonderful potluck supper here at our high rise.
Thank you to our decorating committee for the beautiful Easter decorations in the lounge. They did such a fine job.
March 31 we had a delicious potluck supper. There were such a variety of tasty dishes and wonderful desserts. There are many great cooks here so, we always enjoy these suppers.
Afterwards we were wonderfully entertained by Lara and Frank Hundt from Medstead. They sang songs by Charlie Pride, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins and others. They both have lovely voices. Frank was selling CDs for anyone who was interested. We would certainly be glad to have them entertain us again sometime.Â
Get well wishes go out to Betty Benson who is recovering from a broken ankle. This accident happened at her daughter’s so she is still there. We hope that you will soon be well enough to come home again, Betty.
Also we are thinking of Don Benson who is in hospital. Hope he will soon be feeling better.
Happy Easter, everyone.
