The new date for my hip surgery is Oct. 6. Hopefully this time they won’t cancel. It seems like a long time to wait when you are in pain.
This past weekend Hurrican Irma hit Florida with a vengeance leaving behind a trail of destruction. Diane Krose who is from Ladysmith lives and works in Florida and we were worried about her. I called her mother, Freida Krose on Sunday afternoon and she had just heard from Diane and she was alright.

Get well wishes to Lloyd Kluke who was hurt last week when he was cutting down a tree. We wish him speedy recovery.
The saurekraut has been made for Oktoberfest. Next they will be starting the other preparations. One is the decorating. We will have to wait a bit for coloured leaves. The leaves seem to be slow at turning colour this year. Maybe it is because of the rain we have been having.
Happy birthday to Bennet Rusenstrom on Sept. 14, to Cathy Watson also on Sept. 14, to Maxime Chartrand on Sept. 18 and to Gloria Green on Sept. 17.
Happy anniversary to Shirley and Thorburn Caldwell on Sept. 14, to Gail and Herbie Zacharias on Sept. 15 and to Margaret and Robert Wilson on Sept. 18.
Don’t forget this Sunday that St. Charles Church in Otter Lake is having a service at 3 p.m. and a supper starting at 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome. It is a hot and cold buffet.
Our sympathy to the family and friends of Gordon Robins who passed away on Sept. 10.
Congratulations to the owners of the new chip wagon in Ladysmith.
