Hi everyone,
Welcome to February. More winter, more snow, more icicles and
Valentines Day! And I don’t mean a box of chocolates, or an “I love
you”, (unless you have a significant other close by) but just a
thoughtful gesture is always welcome or a phone call to keep us warm in all this COLD weather. This year the same day also starts Family Day long weekend! For some it means an extra day off work and for some of us a time to get together with family. However, you enjoy it, just do it!
We are planning to have some pie baking days this coming year to keep us stocked up for our Fiddle Jam days. If you would be interested in doing some baking with us, just let us know. Possibly in March, September and January. We supply all the ingredients you just join in the fun. Our first pie baking day will be decided at our next meeting.
Thursday, February 20 is our Food For Thought Luncheon with speakers starting at 10:00 AM including Ludmila Haynos-Owen from Lavender-Blu Farm near Seagrave (think spring), then Debbie Dawson from Hearth Place in Oshawa and finally Tammy and Susan from Silver Lights Senior Services in Lindsay. Following is a homemade lunch, all for $10.00.
Please RSVP to Anne at 705 357 3637.
Our Fiddle Jam is on Sunday February 23, from 1:00 -5:00 PM. Keep warm with some toe tapping music, dancing and lots of friendly faces. There’s draws, prizes and food too!

Looking back over some of my papers, I found this. Some Oxymorons:
-Why is the third hand on the clock called the second hand?
-Why does “slow down” and “slow up” mean the same thing?
-Why does “fat chance” and “slim chance” mean the same thing?
-Why do we sing Take me out to the ball game” when we are already there?
-Why are they called stands when they are meant for sitting?
-Why is it called “after dark” when it is really “after light”?
-Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
-If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
-If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
-How come abbreviated is such a long word?
-Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? I dunno, why do we?
‘til next time. Anne
