Hi Everyone!
Well! It’s June. Isn’t it great to see the green grass again and the trees out in leaf now. A few of the tenants here are busy doing some gardening over in their plots back of Tower I. It’s nice to get a start on some fresh vegetables again.
The rest of us are out walking and enjoying the fresh air. The lilacs are out in full bloom now and so beautiful. The perfume beats all, I think.
In the meantime I believe the “Moms” here were treated royally by their families on Mother’s Day. Anna Storgard enjoyed a lovely meal with her grandchildren here in North Battleford.
Wanda Walker was picked up by her brother from Leader and they travelled to Medstead for Mother’s Day. I’m sure you enjoyed a visit with your brother, too, Wanda.
Bev and Murray McCrimmon joined with their families at the casino and enjoyed some great food on Mother’s Day. It’s always so nice just to get together.
Edith Lockhart had a real celebration of birthday and Mother’s Day as both are in May. She said she was "wined and dined" (My description Edith) for two weeks with her family. I’m sure you had a wonderful time, Edith.
Francis Cale had her son and wife, grandchildren and great grandchildren from Lloydminster come here and be with her on Mother’s Day. It would be lovely for you to see them all, Francis.
Edith Dirkson attended her granddaughter’s graduation in Edmonton. That would be a special occasion, Edith.
Shirley Tebay said on Mother’s Day three of her sons and daughters-in-law took her for a drive and then enjoyed a Chinese supper. Just so nice to get together like that, Shirley.
Ida Baker said she and her family had a few sad months lately. Her sister was laid to rest in Saskatoon on March 3 and then on May 2 her brother passed away and they had a funeral for him in Biggar. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and yours, Ida.
On the happier side, her daughter and niece came out from Saskatoon on Mother’s Day. They took her to the Country Cuisine for dinner and gave her a nice hanging flower. She got phone calls from all her children, too. Ida’s daughter works at Harwood Manor so Ida met her daughter there and had cake and coffee. On May 28 she enjoyed the Country Cousins who were entertaining at Harwood Manor.
On May 12, Ada Pasutto accompanied her daughters Marina and Joy to attend the Grade 12 graduation of her first great granddaughter Saigen Hewson. Ada attended the graduation exercise when Saigen walked in wearing a beautiful two-piece gown of blue/green with the rest of 149 fellow graduates. Saigen then received her diploma. Pictures next with all the relatives that could make it and then to a delicious supper at her Grandpa Rick’s house. So glad you could attend, Ada. I’m sure Saigen would be happy that you were there.
I received beautiful bouquets of flowers from my sons, one from Saskatoon and the other from Flin Flon. Then I had a lovely Mother’s Day with my daughter here in North Battleford.
On May 31, the “Mothers” catered for us a delicious Lasagna supper. It consisted of salad, garlic toast and a very tasty cheesecake dessert. We are always so glad to have them come with excellent meals.
Get well wishes go out to all those tenants that are convalescing now. Take care when you are out walking. One can trip and fall so easily. No one wants a broken bone.
Enjoy the warm sunny weather, folks! See you next month.
