LIVELONG — The drive to Livelong on an overcast morning Oct. 2 was gorgeous with the fall colours so brilliant. Seniors from all around were meeting for the annual games day hosted by the Livelong Lakesiders Seniors’ Club.
Registration was at 9:30 a.m. when we were treated to coffee and muffins and received our nametags. About 60 seniors spent the morning playing Kaiser upstairs, and bowling and Scrabble downstairs.
The noon luncheon consisted of a choice of six sandwiches, a plate of fruits and vegetables and dip, and also desserts and drinks – all very tasty.
The afternoon found some playing whist followed by games of cribbage upstairs, and bowling below.
There were people there from Lloydminster, Mervin, North Battleford, Rosetown, St. Walburg, Spruce Lake, Turtle Lake, Livelong, Hillmond and Meota. Numerous door prizes, donated by members, were drawn for. It was a lovely, friendly day with great fellowship and visiting.
We all know that a day like that doesn’t happen by itself, and we would like to express our appreciation for the work done in organizing the event. It was definitely a success.
The sun came out after lunch so the drives homeward were enjoyed again with the trees even brighter than in the morning.
