Hi again! My, September just seems to have flown by. But we are still enjoying the lovely fall colours and the nice sunshiny days. Hopefully October will be the same.
Things seem to have quieted down some after such a busy summer here at the high rise. However, we are still enjoying cards, bingo and shuffleboard. Thank you to all of those people who organize these games. We also have exercises Monday, Wednesday and Friday given by Bev McCrimmon. Thank you Bev, for keeping us in shape. Appreciation goes out to all the ladies who see that we have coffee every morning and afternoon. There are so many to thank for helping to make this a great place to live.
Our birthday party for July, August and September was held Sept. 21. Our congratulations and best wishes go out to our celebrants! In July there were Martha Spielman, Cecile Dupris, Rose Morin and Marie Child. In August there were Ann Ewanchuk, Laurel Allan, Mildred Kleive, Robert Reed and Melvina Lewis. In September there were David Toth, Nancy Milnthorp, Bev Brundige, Anna Storgard, Phyllis Bec, Darlene Fisher and Edith Parkinson. We were happy to have David Heibert and his band of Larry, Randy and Doug entertain us. Their music kept our toes tapping. Wish we could get up and dance, but I'm afraid many of us aren't able, maybe with walkers though. Thank you to all our helpers who always make these birthday parties such a success.
Ada Pasutto spent a while with her daughter Marina in Lloydminster and enjoyed her two great-granddaughters. The oldest is five years and starting kindergarten. The youngest is three years and in play school. She also visited with Joy and her family. Joy is working in Kitscoty School helping with the kindergarten children. It sounds like you had a lovely visit, Ada.
We think about Anna Roberts who passed away in September. She used to live here in the highrise for many years. She was so lively and energetic and always joined in all of our activities. She lived to the incredible age of 103.
Get well wishes go out to George Milnthorp who is in the hospital now. We hope you are feeling better and will soon be back here again, George. We all miss you.
There was a flu going around here recently. I hope everyone is on the mend now. Take care until the report in October.
