What a beautiful day we have here on "The Ridge". I guess we better take advantage of it, for I think things will be a-changing later on this week according to the weather man.
I noticed when I was outside taking out trash earlier, that the pretty little pansy in the flower bed is still smiling away. It amazes me to see it still looking so pretty with its bright colored faces. It always makes me smile when I see it still there and I'm going to miss it when it meets its demise.
Frances Kobbe shared with me this morning that she's been watching a little squirrel out back chewing the top off a pumpkin and then climbing inside to eat the seeds with only its tail sticking out. That's one industrious little squirrel. I wish I could have seen it, they're so much fun to watch.
I attended the November VIA meeting on Thursday at McCallum Manor and after the business meeting, went on to the Sweet Tooth Bakery for a tour and to enjoy some refreshments.
My son Dan and Wendy Lepper came to see me after Mass on Sunday bringing the disk with pictures of their daughter Jessy and Marcus Oldroyd's wedding. There are so many good ones, it will be tough to choose.
When I saw Irma Earley this morning she had her laundry all done and she was enjoying the sun coming in her windows. She reported that her daughter, Debbie Elliot visited her on Tuesday and Friday this last week and they stayed in as both days were cold and windy.
Sunday Irma was at the Iron Skillet Restaurant with her daughter Maxine and Dave Shedden for lunch after Church Services.
Kathy Temple reported that she helped with the Boy Scouts "Scouting for Food" on Saturday. Kathy said that they collected 1600 items and topped earlier records. Good for them! The Community thanks them and also their Scout Leaders who do so much around our area.
Jessie Herman enjoyed a nice visit and prayer time with her Pastor Will Strunk on Sunday. She also said that Julie Parker called on her this last week as she often does.
Carol Bastion took her mother, Frances Kobbe for a doctor's appointment on Tuesday.
On Thursday Frances's son Richard and Barb Kobbe took her to so some needed shopping and afterword treated her to lunch at Kelley's Creek Side Restaurant. Frances also said that her "computer guy," her son, Ed Kobbe came for lunch on Sunday and worked on her computer while here.
We remember to thank our Veterans today and thank them for their service.
