Having an extra “active calendar” last week, we decided t get an early start on the paper by going to the copy room on Wednesday afternoon. Guess we should have asked the copier its opinion first – with only 119 copies of the 2 pages done, a message appeared on the screen. “internal problem – contact your service technician”. Yikes – luckily the technician was in the area, so appeared in about half an hour. Problem was found however a repair part was needed – ending up needing to be ordered! Okay – let’s go to Plan B – either wait for the repair to be done (a few days) or do a “sympathy visit” to Parkland School – after some thought and advice, we chose the latter. So after a couple of hours on Thursday A.M. and Friday A.M. – the finished product was completed – thanks to the following: Elly at Parkland School, our resident stuffers and Shirley for doing the “slightly” later deliveries.. And most of all, you, our readers for the understanding – sorry for any inconvenience caused. Sometimes “glitches” can’t be helped “a good idea, gone bad”! A week ago, we were watching butterflies and their insect cousins having their lunch on a sedum plant as the warm sunshine reminded us that our summer days were coming to an end. Whoa! Today we look out the same window to see snow on our yesterday’s mowed lawn – can you imagine living where the weather never changes – BORING! 20°+ 0°! A few locals attended the community fowl supper in Arcola last Friday – huge crowds and good food was th reported. Today (29 ), we challenged the wintery conditions and attended the supper at St. Andrew’s – as usual an “awesome feast” and great fellowship. (We again marvel at the organization and cooperation these folks have to work in their small area and limited privileges). Realizing today (Monday) is the last day KoRner Kones is open, the idea surfaced to have one last “lick of the season” – so as the snow continued to add up, we satisfied our craving – something (weather, maybe?) just didn’t seem right in this picture! On closing, one cannot possibly imagine what frustration farmers are experiencing as they watch their year’s labour deteriorating daily – our thoughts are with you … SAMARITANS PURSE SHOE BOXES “WIDER” WAGER Where has the summer gone? It is only 6 weeks until we send our shoeboxes off to underprivileged The “opposition/fellow wagerer” continues to children all around the world.
