April 24, 2005
Its spring in Glencoe. Last Sunday it was 27 deg. C. Today it is 0 deg.C and we have 5 cm(2 inches) of fresh, wet snow. Sorry no pictures because Meredith has our camera.Today is our grandson, Jacob's first birthday so mom and dad held a birthday party for him. He ate his first piece of cake, by himself, with his hands. Of course as much of it ended up outside as inside.
We have been in Oshawa and Toronto for the past 2 days to attend the screening of 2 documentary films, sponsored by Brett, in the Hot Docs Film Festival, of which he is the Art Director. Its on all this week so if your are in Toronto try to catch a screening or 2.
Even though Oshawa and Toronto are a little north of Glencoe, there was no snow in their area.
For anyone not familiar with our weather patterns, we don't normally expect to have snow this late in April. Hopefully it will all disappear tomorrow.
On Saturday the Glencoe District Lions Club held our annual "White Elephant Sale". We collect up all the items that people want to get rid off and feel are not yet ready for the landfill site. We fill the skating arena every year, and people always wonder where all the treasures come from.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend, for the first time in a number of years. My apologies to my fellow Lions, as this event is work intensive. We usually raise $7000.00+ from this event so it is a good fund raiser for our club. Most of the money finds its way back into the community through our donations. So I hope we had a good sale this year. Bad weather usually= good attendance.
