Hi there, everyone! As I write this report it is a very cold day in March. But it is bright and sunny so we can be thankful for that. I鈥檓 very glad to be in, looking out and of course watching my favourite winter sport.
You guessed it, curling. It鈥檚 a long season so I have to get up and stretch for a while. Hope some of you are enjoying watching and rooting for your favourite team.
Our Tower II residents have been staying close to home, I think, recently. It鈥檚 still very slippery and of course cold too. We can get together and have coffee in the lounge here though and that is nice.
A number of us boarded a bus on a sunny March 1 to go to Mayfair to see a play called 鈥淛ack Benny Isn't 39 Anymore.鈥� We enjoyed a delicious dinner first, put on by the Mayfair rec board, then all sat back to watch the play. It was so funny; we had many good laughs. It was a delightful afternoon.
Our January and February birthday party was held Feb. 16. Congratulations go out to our seven celebrants. In January there were Ada Pasutto and Shelly Bachedor. In February there were Orville Fehr, Ida Baker, Shirley Tebay, Anna Tucker and Francis Cole.
We were so happy to have Marilyn McGowan and Dick Scott on keyboard and violin entertain us with toe-tapping old-time music and songs we know and like to sing. The celebrants sat at the beautifully decorated head table, decorated in Valentine motifs. Thank you to the ladies who decorated the lounge. A delicious dessert of cake, ice cream and strawberries was served to everyone. I want to thank all those who helped in any way to make this such a lovely afternoon.
Shirley Tebay was so happy to attend a baby shower for her great-grandson Cameron, Brennan and Chelsey鈥檚 son, at the Alliance Church. Cameron received so many lovely gifts and slept through most of it. They all enjoyed visiting over coffee and dainties. Sounds like you had a nice time, Shirley!
Get well wishes go out to any of our residents who are still suffering from flu and bad colds. Sometimes it takes quite a while to get over these things so take care, everyone!
Our sincere sympathy goes out to Barb Foot whose mother passed away recently. We are thinking of you, Barb, and your family. Some of us enjoy going to the Lenten lunches at St Paul鈥檚 Anglican Church every Tuesday. They have ministers from different churches come to speak. Everyone has a very interesting message to convey.
Spring is just around the corner, they say. I do hope so. Looking at the weather out in Victoria where the flowers are blooming and everyone is walking around in shirt sleeves makes you kind of envious, doesn鈥檛 it? See you next month, folks.
