Tis the Season for GARAGE sales



If you are looking for a used garden trowel, or maybe a nice set of Disneyland coasters, or possibly a Doug and the Slugs cassette, this may be the weekend you stike gold! Garage and Yard sales are everywhere. Some have real treasures and others....well, let's just say how many baby bottle heaters and diaper genies does one family need.

But I don't want to discourage you, take a chance, lay down a buck or two for something that catches your eye . It may be just what you need, or it may sell on eBay for big $$$$!

Then again, there is a good chance you will store it for a few years only to sell in your own sale in the future.

Aaaannnddd she's OFF!


My five year old daughter Audrey hit a major life milestone this week. She learned to ride a two-wheeler! It was such a big deal for a little girl who, until now, was religated to running alongside other kids, or blasting noisly along on her Big Wheel plastic trike. But now she rides to and from school, she rides downtown on errands, she rides to her grandparents house in town, she finds any excuse she can to ride.
The new (to her) bike was a gift from the Tittle family and it blessed wee Audrey mightly. And according to Audrey, one of the best things it is purple with sparkles it it!

The FOUNTAIN is in


The Fairy Lake Fountain has been put in place just in time for the May long weekend! Rick Ollenburg had a crew of people helping him when he paddled a canoe to the center of the lake, and put his talents as a plumber to work getting everything hooked up just right.

This fountain was a real hit with visitors last year and I'm sure that as word spreads even more people will saunter across the Swinging Bridge to enjoy the beautiful fountain.

Karate BREAKS for summer



The Wolseley Karate Club held their wind-up at the beach tonight. Sensei Gary Grant put the club through a display of swinging swords and breaking boards. A short awards presentation was followed by refreshments enjoyed at the peaceful lakeside setting.
