Page 2, News, Wednesday, May 4, 1988 Helene Ballard brings: us Her Bountiful Bits 'n Bites Time again for another wee word. Guess we all felt the same way last Monday to see the snow. I sure wish we could get some nice, warm weather; we needed the moisture, but rain would have been better. However, all the snow melt- ed away. Our card playing friends were in on Tuesday, the 26th, and the resi- dents were happy to see them. It 'had been three weeks since they were last here. We thank them for coming. The Birchwood bowlers went to the Northshore banquet held last Saturday at the Legion, and they said it was a very nice party -- good food, good friends and of course the music. On Monday, the Residents' Council held their monthly meet- ing. These meetings are to help the residents who may have problems and to plan different activities. Our resident gardener has start- ed to get the soil ready for our gar- den. Mina'a office is pressed into service to start seedlings. We hope we have another nice garden this year. Cliff Barker knows how to grow veggies, so we can all enjoy them. I guess our "snowbirds" have returned from winter vacation in the south. I ran into my friend Marge Hamilton the other day. I hope you brought some nice weath- er with you, Marge. Not too much news here; our resident doctor, Mike McCausland is back home from the hospital and we were glad to see him. I'll close for now, and leave you with this we bit, until next time: "Did you hear about the girl who backed into the airplane pro- peller? Disaster! ! Sooo long Baek in the corner by Greg Hyneault I thought: "Rather than let the pressure build up so much that pipe- fitters from Kimberly-Clark have to come in and make an emergency vent in my ears, maybe I could blow off some steam through this article once a while, and at the same time per- haps present a lighter side to things going on in the area... and in what life I have. Last week I finally got my clothes and golf bag moved into my new apartment. For the first time since I've been here, I am able to burn my meals on my own stove, and throw the left-overs in my own.fridge. Actually it was a sad note; because the owners of the Terrace Bay Bakery had virtu- ally adopted me. Almost three meals --three subs-- a day plus all the microwaves I could handle were the mainstay of my diet. It will be difficult to wean me off their menu, but with the help of friends and family I am confi- dent I will be alright. As a matter of fact, I*had my first fresh salad in a month last night, but I'm just not quite sure if I can handle fresh fruit yet. The body adjusts to what you put into it, which kind of scares me when I think about what I've eaten. Our Advertising Manager, Paul Marcon, and I each has our own apartment. Paul travelled to Sudbury last week to get some furniture and appliances, but not after having had to fix the two toilets which "blew up' when we touched them. After they were repaired, we looked forward with child-like anticipation to moving in two of everything. Our mature muscles, however, had another opinion. They are still complain- ing about it, too. Paul brought up my fiancee's furniture in preparation for her arrival in early July. I have her comfy double bed, while she is in Sudbury right now sleeping on the MAT THAT ATE THE CANADIAN SHIELD. I also have her couch and barbecue. It's funny how things have changed. Last century, a man would have to build a comfortable log cabin with as many amenities as possi- ble before moving his bride up to the Barren North. In this day and age of equality, however, all he' has to do is rent a van and steal her furniture. I was fitted for my tuxedo last Wednesday. I haven't slept since. I didn't realize I was that big of al human being. The sad thing is I don't know if I should try to lose! a few pounds -- more like al friendly crowd-- before I have to wear it. If I don't lose any, at least it will fit properly; if I do drop al few pounds I may end up looking like a judge in his robes. Robert! Burns wrote something to the effect that it would be great to see! ourselves as others see us. Obviously, he never had to wear a] tuxedo. Well, the steam level is return- ing to normal.
