We’re experiencing an old-fashioned
summer, with bountiful gardens and farm fields.
Our time is spent at the lake mainly and besides our resident Herons and
ducks and now a porcupine taking up house in a poplar tree, we have a huge
bullfrog, which we’ve named “Grandpa” in honour of my Dad Lorne, who used to
sing base in the church choir. We’re serenaded each evening by Grandpa at the
shore. Life is good for obviously for him
and for all of us.
In that vein, we have been blessed
with good weather for our past two meetings at the Waterfront Park. We look forward to the same for our August
meeting and will be pleased to see those of our members who have recently been
facing health issues. We extend our best
wishes to Frankie Juby, Mack Charron, Kevin O’Gorman and our auctioneer John
Hanson. It’s not the same when you’re not able to join us.
As all families, Dave and I
recently experienced a big change in our life.
A newer convertible replaces our Model A that is now, sold but it will continue to be enjoyed locally by
friends who are making changes in their hobby stable, moving on from tall ships
and War of 1812 re-enactments to a slower pace with a Model A. One of the selling points for this couple was
the pedigree of the Pembroke-bought Ford, so we’re happy too that it will
remain in the Valley and quite possibly on future tours with us here and there.
Thanks to Wendy and Phil for being
the hosts of a lovely Ice Cream Tour, keeping up the summer tradition of a
third Wednesday tour in town. We
appreciate the time dedicated to keeping our club active.
Our Road-A-O is taking place back
at the Lake Dore Park on Sunday August 30th, starting at 2pm. Wayne Brohart is our Ringmaster and we will
have the assistance of a few other members to get things rolling. Please
give thought to what potluck contribution you can make for that afternoon. Perhaps it will be most efficient to have coolers
with salads, cold cuts and desserts. If
there is interest in setting up a BBQ for hot dogs or hamburgers, let’s talk
about it at the meeting. Plates, forks
and knives will be purchased through the Club fund. We will
fine tune this thought at the August meeting followed up with the circulation
of a list with known commitments.
With continued good weather, we
congregate at Waterfront Park for 7:00 (bring lawn chairs) and if it’s raining,
we’ll see you at The Kingburger. Either
way, bring along some interesting auction items, it makes for a good wrap up of
the meeting. Until we meet again… Delores
