Only a couple more weeks and it will officially be summer! The days seem to fly by and after June 21 the days will become shorter. In a few weeks my pen pal will arrive in Canada and I will be her tour guide. In fact we are going to destinations that I have never been to. Janette resides in Capalaba, a suburb out of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. This will be her first visit to Canada, so I have lots to show her in the five weeks.
Ryan Liebaert returned three weeks ago from Australia and the friend he visited also lives in Brisbane. His girlfriend is from Wilkie and is a student at the University of Brisbane. It is starting to be winter in Australia. He rented a vehicle for sightseeing along the Gold Coast. Ryan鈥檚 holiday lasted three weeks.
Rabbit Lake Museum is planning a big day June 12 with an interdenominational church service and picnic at the museum grounds. Volunteer musical entertainment will also be included. Another event will take place on June 15 sponsored by the seniors鈥� centre and the museum board. There will be card bingo from 5 to 5:30 p.m. followed by a barbecue. This time of the year rhubarb is plentiful, so a rhubarb pie auction seems to be fitting with a 鈥淩ubin鈥� king or 鈥淩uby鈥� queen pie contest. Games and trivia with visiting and plenty of laughter will be enjoyed by everyone who plans to attend.
May 31 had plant lovers purchasing bedding plants that Denise Taylor (nee Wohlberg) diligently grows in her greenhouse. Outside the hall she displayed the last of her many plants and some varieties sold quickly. Sonia Prescesky decided she had enough of being house bound, as she is taking it easy after surgery, so stepped in to see a few friends at the library and to purchase plants. Nice to see that everything is going well for Sonia, as it is a busy time on the farm.
Leanne Cherwinski and Valerie Taylor have returned after visiting their daughters in Calgary for seven days. Leanne stayed at Carla Soucy鈥檚 and Valerie at Carmen Paradis鈥� house. They usually travel together two times a year to Calgary to be with family.

Former Mayfair area residents who have resided in Saskatoon for approximately 20 years have celebrated 50 years of marriage. This was a happy occasion for Don and Vicky Wohlberg who had this celebration at Saskatoon Golf and Country Club. Invited relatives Leanne and Stephen Cherwinski and Jean and Rollie Pelletier enjoyed the cocktails and evening dinner this past Saturday. The Wohlbergs have built a beautiful home at Meeting Lake over the past couple of years.
Get well wishes to Glen and Sheila Bachelder鈥檚 grandson, Bruce.

Sharon Babiy along with her two grandsons, Kory and Shaye Brochu from Hafford, and friend Anna Symynuk from Denholm participated in the Potash Corp Saskatchewan Marathon on May 29 in Saskatoon. They completed the five kilometre run. Her daughter Kim was in the longer marathon. They knew it would be a challenge but are already anticipating next year鈥檚 marathon. Even a very young senior citizen like Sharon can still manage to keep up to the youth.
It is nice to be able to do yard work until 10:30 p.m. with the birds still chirping, toads croaking and enough daylight to see. Everyone is looking forward to lake days and a little relaxation around a campfire. Let鈥檚 enjoy the warm days while we can and appreciate the outdoors even with the ticks and mosquitoes. Things could be much worse when you look at what all is happening in other countries.
