The Meota Girl鈥檚 Club is back in action with their second meeting Tuesday when they once again cleaned the street they are committed to. This is done every year and the only street that is officially cleaned, it seems. Most of us pick up behind people when we walk but that never gets it all. These girls are to be commended for their continuity spirit.
The September noon luncheon put on by the hall board was held in the Meota Community Complex Sept. 18 with a good turnout of community-minded citizens supporting them and enjoying the food.
Duplicate bridge was played at the Do Drop In Tuesday evening with top scores going to Jetta and Terry Dasilva. In second were Ray and Marnie Davie and third were Eric Callbeck and Gerry Fernandes. It was another pleasant time together.
Ted and Monica Brown visited their daughter Darcy and Jeff Branscombe and their grandchildren Carter and Kaylee in Lacombe, Alta. recently.
The Lions fall supper date is Oct. 18. Sorry I had it wrong last week. Watch for posters and ads.
While we have not had a hard frost yet, folks are taking in their gardens and there鈥檚 usually a surprise or two out there. It is wonderful how those who have too much share with those who have no garden. Beulah and I have been recipients of tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes. We dug potatoes on the weekend and brought out one that weighed just under three pounds.
Visiting Beulah Corbeil for a few days last week was Irene Theroux from St. Paul, Alta. Beulah鈥檚 aunt Cecile Corbeil brought her from Loon Lake and her son Albert came for her. Irene is waiting for knee surgery coming up soon. There was lots of card playing at Beulah鈥檚 last week.
Please mark your calendars for the next seniors鈥� meeting at the Do Drop In Oct. 9, so the next year can be planned and successful.
The drive to Unity Saturday was delightful. The fall colors are out in abundance and birds are starting to flock. Combines were out before the day was over. My sister Linda Ard and I attended the wedding of our nephew Scotty and Coleen Shepherd鈥檚 son Riley when he married Chelsea Robertson in St. Peter鈥檚 Catholic Church in Unity. There were seven attendants on either side and it all went off perfectly. After the service we joined relatives at the town campground where we gathered around the motor home of Gary and Elaine Poole and had some great visiting time. After spending a couple hours there we went to the Legion Hall where we enjoyed a cold supper with relatives of the bride and groom. On our drive home we were thrilled to see a herd of about 15 antelope quite close to the road. We hadn鈥檛 seen any since spotting a herd in Montana a couple years ago. We also saw a field a mile long. It seemed the swaths went on forever. In hilly country you just don鈥檛 see that. The weather was perfect and I鈥檓 sure that those who stayed for the dance had a great time.
They played contract bridge at the Do Drop In Monday evening, and had a good time. Top score was by Gerry Craig and second by Jetta Dasilva.
The Meota seniors are holding a pie and coffee afternoon Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Do Drop In, so see you there. Donations of pies gratefully accepted.
