March 6, 2020

It might be early to start our spring cleaning, but it might be necessary since our houses are getting a bit messy. Prime example: we’ve lost our mood rings. We aren’t sure how to feel about it. If we start tidying up, maybe we’ll find the guitar we got when we were kids. We wanted to play the guitar really badly back then. After years of hard work, determination and practice, we can confidently say we play the guitar really badly.

Many happy returns to Shirley Farquhar who is walking her way through her 29th year. Seriously, nothing stops her from her walks. Not weather, not broken legs…. Happy birthday Shirley!


Looking to try something new? Look no further than MUG - the Manitoulin Uke Group! Come out and join others for a musical ukulele meetup every other Wednesday of each month at the Kagawong Library, from 7 pm until 8 pm. This group will be free-form where we learn from each other. All skill levels are welcome. Bring a song, learn a song! The next meeting will be Wednesday, March 11.


Has anyone else noticed that Dove chocolate tastes way better than their soap?


People aren’t the only ones to get cabin fever this time of year - so does your dog. The good news is that we have a cure for that! Come out to the off-leash dog park with your four-legged friend for exercise and social time for humans and puppers. Just remember, making snow angels at the dog park is not a good idea. Neither is taking a dog named shark to the beach… but that’s an issue for another day.


Before the crowbar was invented, did crows have to drink at home?


Have you heard about the fundraiser for the St. John's Church? A Zline KB2-BCCXS-36”-C range hood, copper finish, brand new still in the boxes has been donated to the church, which in turn is putting it up for sale as a fundraiser. Slight damage to the paint finish, retails for around $1000. Make them an offer! Contact Mike Coomes for more details.


We were chatting with a friend with a farm the other day and they are branching out with their crops this year and planting parsley and leafy greens. We were politely impressed, but truthfully, we prefer our kale with a silent k. On the upside of these changes, if they ever get sued, the courts can easily garnish their wages. 


The February Euchre results are in! The winners were: High score Karen & Myra 80; second highest Laura & Pat 79; third highest Fred & Jim 78; most lone hands Karen & Myra 8; Low score Kal & Lil 54; special prize Diane.


The next Euchre tournament is Wednesday, March 18th at 7:30 pm at the Park Centre. Cost is $5.00 per person, and includes light refreshments and prizes. Everyone is welcome! Brought to you by volunteer members of our community and Parks, Recreation and Wellness Committee. Subsequent tournaments are every third Wednesday of the month.


Remember, as far as anyone knows, we are a normal community. Have a great week!
