Ruth rose to this challenge and turned the weed strewn garden into a cornucopia of color. This hard work translates into hundreds of hours of toiling and many beads of sweat, however, the result is stunning. From roses to hostas, this garden has it all! The array of color and blooms is truly a work of art. Volunteers like Ruth are key to the success of The Glebe Centre and the programs and serv- ices offered through Abbotsford House. On any given day, you will find vol- unteers assisting in the Day Away program, teaching an art 'class, answering the phone or assisting with programming and feeding of residents.

When I came down the stairs, my brothers Bobby and Nick, were grin- ning. Automatically, I knew my brothers flushed the toilet when I was showering. I gave them my best glare while taking out my oatmeal. In complete silence, I made my oatmeal. Nick handed me the sugar and I dumped almost all of it into my oatmeal. Then I took my first big mouth- I3uying or Selling? ful. Suddenly, I realized I had dumped a lot of salt in my oatmeal. My brothers had replaced the sugar with salt!!

You need to keep organized, so you don't have loose papers everywhere. Keeping things in duo tangs and binders is a good idea, so you don't lose important homework and notes. By buying various types of locker tools, you can have a sparkling locker during the whole year and stay organized! Locker organizers are handy tools that clip onto your locker. There are two types of these: metal ones and plastic ones. They work the same way. These organizers hold extra pens and pencils and even scraps of paper. Magnetic clips are great.
