     Even though a person may have reasons not to be very thankful at this time in their life due to certain circumstances, at leas we're having wonderful weather. I find everything is easier to deal with when the sun is shining and boy have we had sunshine. There's nothing as nice as a nap in a lounger out on the patio especially since there are no mosquitoes to harass a person. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with our family and I hope my readers did, too.

     This spring when the Carillon printed the photo of the blooming cactus, I received a number of phone calls regarding the name of it. I would like to acknowledge a lady who took the time to write a very nice letter, Pauline Good from Chemainus, BC. Thank you for the picture and information and a thank you also goes to the Carillon for forwarding the letter to me.

On the move

      Rod and Sandra Pokrant, long time residents of Rosenfeld, purchased a home in Altona and within a month their house was sold. There was some hasty packing and with them moving and Kevin and Stephanie Wiebe taking up residence in their house. We're sorry to see the Pokrants leave the community but happy that the Wiebe family decided to raise their family here.

Hockey season

     The Miller Aces held two exhibition games last week on Thursday, Oct. 9 and Friday, Oct 10. These games were tryouts for new players to fill the slots of the players who had graduated last semester. The Thursday game was played in Morden and the Morden Thunder won 5-1 but for Dave and me It was a good game. You see, our grandson, Thomas Wolfe scored the only goal for the Aces.
Friday's game was played in Altona and it too was won by Morden 5-3. But again one of the goals went to Thomas Wolfe and another to Conner Winter. Not bad for two Rosenfeld guys trying out for the team. I will report on their status in next weeks column.
