Isn't it strange how some days a person feels totally different than other days? This morning I sit here and though I have some news, my brain is not focusing enough to put it into words. and I've been told that I'm full of hot air and have the gift of gab. Maybe I've been out and about too much over the weekend, so this whole article may just be rambling. I know, it's the wind's fault. One day it's howling from the north and then the next day it's from the south. I feel just like the leaves blowing from one yard to the next and then back again.
Fall supper report
Ken and Jean Warkentin from Sanford and Jim and Judith Schellenberg from Mitchell joined Dave and me at the Rosenfeld Fall Supper. It was great; both the supper and the chatting. The turkey was soft and moist, the mashed potatoes were nice and creamy, and the pies, well we must have some of the best pastry chefs in Manitoba. Appreciation goes to all the people who donated, cooked, served and planned this event.
Hockey update
Tryouts for the Miller Aces team are over and I'm happy to report that both of the young guys from Rosenfeld made the team. They join two senior players; Matthew Winter and Simon Schroeder also from Rosenfeld. Now we'll wait and see how much ice time Conner Winter and Thomas Wolfe will get. It's very frustrating when the coaches play only the first two lines. How do they expect the new guys to fit in and improve if they can't participate?
Coffee house
Dave and I attended a coffee house at Oakridge Greenhouse near Mitchell on Saturday, Oct. 11. Jennifer Kerr and Jordan St. Cyr provided the entertainment for the evening. Good vocals and guitar playing was enjoyed by the audience. The last number of the evening was a rousing southern spiritual which could have come straight off the cover album of "O Brother Where Art Thou". It was good. And it done in a very nice venue.
Concert tour
The Central Manitoba Youth Choir tour began on Thursday, Oct. 16 in Winkler and ended on Monday, Oct. 20 in Morden. They performed 14 concerts in total with Saturday being the busiest day with four concerts. Dave and I attended the performance at Buhler Hall at the Mennonite Collegiate Institute in Gretna which was on Friday, Oct. 17 in the afternoon. We listened to a variety of 12 songs from their repertoire which ranged from Negro spirituals to chanting and drumming Native numbers. Two Rosenfeld members in the group were Madison Smith and Gabby Wolfe. Great vocals from this choir were enjoyed by the audience. The conductor this year was Cynthia Peyson Wahl of Winnipeg who was accompanied by Loren Hiebert of Altona.
