Happy Wednesday Everyone!
This past week, I have been working on getting our
presenters for day camp and have been successful with most. We are very excited to have them join us and
our campers to increase our learning. We
will have Stacie Littlejohn teach rug-hooking, Marg Hulls will be leading us in
a nature walk on the grounds and we will be having a presentation on the
aboriginals that were present in this area before the settlers came. Angela has gone shopping for final supplies
and Kelsey and I will be going over last minute details this week to make sure
everything is all ready J
We also had the pleasure this weekend of having a reunion
here on the grounds in which Iris Page was present. I was not working this past Saturday so I
unfortunately missed meeting her and all of her wonderful stories, but she is
supposed to be visiting us again soon and I hope to be here when that happens. I love learning more about the house from a primary
source!
This past Sunday’s tea was a busy one. We had a group of seniors visit us from
Longworth in London and they were a great bunch. Lots of stories and memories shared with us
of their childhoods and items that they recognized in the museum. Overall, they said that they had a lovely
time and made it into the bus just before it rained. We also had a mother and daughter visit us
for tea from England, which was exciting and Kelsey gave a tour last week to a
99 year old woman who climbed our stairs, up and down, better than we can! It was a pleasure to meet someone of so many
years.
Lastly, watermelon update!
Our watermelon has grown quite a bit, thanks to the rain and sunshine
that we have had recently. We are
looking forward to it growing nice and big so that we can have a delicious,
juicy treat soon.
