LOT'S

Friday, December 02, 2011

of good things happening for Christmas, one of our local radio station's launched it's yearly
programme to raise money for the Orphan's Fund, they have been doing this for many years now making sure that no child goes without a toy.
And the fire department has spent dozens of man hours decorating a section of one of our parks that connects with the Christmas train and you get to ride the train for a donation which
goes to the burn unit at one of our hospitals.Next week a huge toy drive at a hotel when you take an umwrapped toy you get a good breakfast. Winners all round.
Many private homes are beautifully lit up and one man who lost a grand child several years ago accepts donations from folks who tour his garden and that money is given to the
children's hospital fund [ we are building a new one}.
And today is a beautiful sunny one.

At work we are filling shoe boxes with goodies to send as gifts to those of our troops who haven't got families to send to them. Pete & I also only send cards to those of our friends who haven't got email addresses, those who have, get an email greeting & we make a donation to Help for Heroes. Christmas is a great time of year to make these things happen. Report Inappropriate Comment

Football

Saturday, November 26, 2011

Lots of visitors and excitement here this week-end. Football fans from all over Canada have
come to watch the final game of the season and the winner takes home the trophy the
coveted Grey Cup.i was in a hotel this past Thursday to attend a celebration and I almost
went to the wrong party,some out of towners were having a grand old time in one of the
many ballrooms,{ I should have stayed there they were having so much fun].
Too bad the weather is so wet for the parade today but we are used to it we just put on rain gear and off we go. The game tomorrow will be held under the dome, so everyone will stay dry.
Hopefully our home team will win. Yay Lions.

Have a Happy Day Everyone.
