Well, good times and fun must come to an end. Farewell, Yuma, with all of its sunshine, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, fresh veggies and wonderful people – Americans and Canadians. You meet the most interesting people who live even with in a hundred miles of me. People can be as busy as they want with the many activities offered. Some are music jams, beanbag tosses, pickleball, shuffleboard, hiking, yoga, exercises and water aerobics. At 8:30 a.m., water aerobics are a little too cold, but you would be surprised at all the faithfuls.
I get to revisit some cousins that I never see – Gordon and Carol Gregoire from Ontario, Louise and Bernie Noble from Saskatoon, Joe and Judy Fransoo from Meota, Vernon Iverson of Meota (Judy deceased), Madeleine Fransoo (Cyril deceased), Madeleine’s oldest son Jerome and Heather of rural North Battleford and my brother Bernard and Lucielle Gregoire of Battleford. Joe Fransoo’s sister Elizabeth Dyck from Calgary, Alta., was here for nine days. Hope I did not forget anyone.
We have a great time when our group gets together, never a shortage of reminiscing and laughter, fun and excellent food. When in our home environment, we are too busy with everyday activities, so we take advantage of this opportunity.
Mayfair’s Old Mill Players live theatre group had another successful season of three performances two weeks ago. The play, called “Reunited,” by Penny Peterson was a crowd pleaser.
Heather and Ron Buziak of Whitkow were vacationing in Mexico this past winter and were surprised to see Frank and Tina Prystupa of Mayfair at their resort. Heather, Ron and Frank, years ago, went to Mayfair Central High School together.
The uncontrollable weather is again playing havoc on our roads. The wind sure can pile up drifts and make driving very treacherous on even the grid gravel roads. Be a smart and defensive driver.
