Wawa Goose Droppings : Seniors Club News
Spring is here! Spring is here! Spring is definitely here!
I am pretty sure its arrival did not coincide with the Spring Tea and Bake Sale on March 21 when you did get out to enjoy cake and refreshments or add to your goody cabinet with something fabulous from the bake table. But patience is good and maybe the biggest advantage a Senior has over the young.
Now as the sun shines and the precipitation is liquid not white and fluffy we can get out to do some more interesting things (even if we need to wear the gloves and hats!)
The birds are out there, though I’ve not heard or spied a Canada goose yet. And all those parts of the world we regularly lived with outside are poking out again: the railing on the patio is showing, the gravel on the driveway is on its way out, even water in the creek and at the lakes edge is still there. I think it will be a while before the pink nubs of the rhubarb plant have a chance at the sun because the pile of snow is still way over the two foot mark. But the sun is warm and we will go out! And the snow bank that covered the windows and plunged the back room with the pool table into pitch blackness for the last six weeks is going down….slowly.
The Wawa Goose Seniors’ Club Drop-In is open every afternoon so you too can come out and drop-in to have a chat, a cup of your fav hot stuff, play some cards or pool. There also is a sign-up list set out to make your ordering of meat pies easy to do. We will make 10” and 4” (hamburger and vegetable) meat pies at the end of April so that they are ready by May 2, 2014. But we make to fill orders so you will need to let us know what you want. They will cost $10.00 or $4.00, to be paid when you pick up you pies. You can call instead of coming out, however (705 856 7294 in the afternoon).
You can also come on in and give us a hand making pastry or filling on April 29 beginning at 9am. We also need rollers and fillers and crimpers and baggers on April 30 beginning at 9am. We are usually finished by lunch time so we can have some sandwiches and dessert and do something else (bingo, pool, cards, chat?) If you want to let someone know that you can help, a call in the afternoon to (705) 856-7394 or an e-mail to WawaCreekBed@yahoo.ca will do it.
Tomorrow, someone will be the lucky owner of the contents of a stuffed basket of Easter Dinner fixings. The draw is on April 15th and tickets are still available if you drop-in before then. We wish all a Happy Easter…the true time of spring for which we are all waiting to fully enjoy!
