COLD LAKE FUN DAY MARCH 22, 2017

72 seniors came out to play cribbage, floor curling and military whist on what started out as a fair weather day and deteriorated from there! While we enjoyed the food, fun and fellow- ship, the snow accumulated for several hours making the return home not only miserable but dangerous. However everyone did get home safely for which we were grateful.

Although we could have had twice as many entries, we were very thankful to all who made the trip to Kinsella. I believe all had a great day, even if they didn’t win a ribbon.

I decided to take an aerobics class. I bent, twisted, gyrated and jumped up and down for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotard on, the class was over!
