I have been busy making crafts and baking for the bake and craft sale being held at St. Joseph’s . . .

Manor on Dec. 7. Donations of baked articles would be greatly appreciated. All money raised from the sale will be for St. Joseph’s fund.

Just a reminder that the Campbell’s Bay Santa Claus parade will be held Dec. 7 so join in the fun.

I would like to wish Margaret Ann Mousseau a special happy belated 60th birthday and also congratulate her on her retirement. What will you do now Maggie?

So far we’ve dodged a bullet here as far as snow is concerned but it sure is causing havoc on Hwy. 401 and other parts of Canada.

Next week, I’m going to start making my meat pies to try and get my orders all filled for Christmas. Place your orders now so I can prepare your pies before Christmas.

Just want to send out wishes for a speedy recovery to Randy Sloan. We just got Karen back on her feet and now it’s Randy’s turn to put his feet up for a while. 

My youngest grandson, Tao (who is only 15) just informed me that he wants a Cuisinart for Christmas. He keeps telling me that he doesn’t want to be a chef but he loves cooking. You never know what kids are thinking. I will certainly try my darndest to make his dream come true. Maybe not for Christmas but at least for his birthday in March. Who knows maybe one day he will become famous.

I would like to wish the following people a very happy birthday: Tim Hearty and Carla Day Pauquette on Dec. 5, to Lincoln Smith, Jennifer Hill, and Chris Kensley on Dec. 6, Marion Pare and Mike Kavanagh on Dec. 9.
