Now the days are getting shorter and cooler, so summer is over! Let’s hope we have a decent fall as everyone takes in the birdbaths and puts away their flower pots. How good to see grain bags in many fields and many bales in others. The geese have not left yet, so it’s still pretty noisy around the lake twice a day as they come and go.
The Meota Lions Chorus entertained at the Lady Minto Health Centre in Edam, Oct. 30, at 2 p.m. and many showed up in their Halloween attire. Their musical program found many of the 18 patients and residents from the lodge, joining in singing the old time hits. The action songs where they mingled with their audience, were a joy to watch. What fun everyone had, for a full hour of music. The group were treated to a nice lunch afterwards.
How nice to be able to get air in a tire right here in Meota and so many other services Robin Davis offers here. I saw him tuning up a snow blower recently, which I’m sure will be needed sooner or later. He is in the car wash building.
About a dozen showed up at the Do Drop In for coffee and muffins Wednesday morning this past week. We even had Pearl and Arie out from town.
