Congratulations and best wishes are extended to Emma Romain and Aime Allard, who were married on Saturday at St. Alphonsus Church in Chapeau. Fr. Tim Moyle officiated the sacrament. The dinner and the reception were held at Northfork.
If you are feeling that the seasons are a little confused, the summer was cool and oh so wet, the fall has been remarkably hot and humid, and who knows what this winter will be like? It seems that the animals are also confused. One morning last week, Larry was up making his coffee and he noticed two little gray rabbits on our neighbour’s front lawn. Now just a minute, “Easter Bunnies”, that can’t be right, we are just getting ready for Thanksgiving and Halloween. He called to me, to come and have a look. They were so cute, but by the time I went to get the camera they were gone.

On Thursday, we drove down to my sister Joyce’s in Cornwall, Ont. and attended our cousin Diane’s funeral on Friday morning. Then in the afternoon, we drove up to Embrun, Ont. and celebrated Ben’s birthday with a barbecue, salads and a cake. It was so nice to visit with Jodi’s mom Krista, her grandmother Janet, her Aunt Cathy, her sister Lindsay and daughter Kendyl.
On Saturday afternoon, we took in Alex’s hockey game in Casselman, Ont. then we visited with my sister Susan, husband Brent and nephew Jesse before coming back home.
The annual St. Alphonsus parish turkey and bean supper, which was held at the Upper Pontiac Sports Complex on Sunday was very well attended.
This coming weekend is Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for. Larry and I are thankful, as we will celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary on Oct. 10. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful thanksgiving with their family and friends.
Paulette and Yvan Pelletier are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary on Oct. 9. May you have a wonderful day and may you be blessed with many more years of God’s richest blessings.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
