Our sympathy to the family and friends of Jean Landry who passed away at the age of 92 last week. Jean will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Get well to Percy Zacharias who is having a knee replacement this week. We wish Percy a speedy recovery.
We finally are having some rain this week which is very badly needed. The farmers needed rain soon for their corn crops and pastures. We are getting a break from watering our plants around the house. The berry crops needed rain too. Both raspberries and blueberries are ready now. The blueberry ranch at Hugli’s, Pembroke are open now for pick your own. I always like to go and pick a few for my sister. Beulah and I usually go for a couple of hours and we enjoy picking.
The tame blueberries are quite big and it doesn’t take long to fill a basket. They sell ice cream at the ranch and before leaving we treat ourselves to a cone.
The Ladysmith Flea Market had its regular sale last Saturday and sales were quite good again. I have a lot of spaces to fill for this weekend. The following weekend is the civic holiday Aug. 5 for Ontario and we have to be well stocked then.
The Zion Lutheran Church will be having their annual memorial service and dinner on Aug. 5. Check the classified ads for more info. This is always an event to look forward to attend. We meet old friends and relatives and remember loved ones and enjoy a great meal as usual .
The Otter Lake Golden Age Club is being well-attended for the summer months. For darts on Thursday, we have visitors from various places including the U.S.A. It was nice to see Caroline and Leonard Graham and to meet Caroline’s son Marshal and his wife and Julie Collins from the U.S. just to mention a few.
