Finally! For the first time since December 30th this blog doesn’t carry a memorial post at the top of the listings. That means that for the last 10 days no Canadian soldier has given his/her life in service to us. Our 2500 troops in Afghanistan have stayed safe and most importantly, we along the Highway of Heroes have not made anymore trips to the bridges. Continue to be safe guys and gals, you’re service is appreciated.

I spent yesterday at the Legion. We had our monthly brunch on which moved from brunch into an afternoon of an informal jam session in the clubroom. We had an unadvertised special featuring a hot roast beef plate for $5. The plate gave you a full dinner. Since we had to cancel the roast beef dinner on Friday evening, the meat was all cooked and we did up some potatoes and veggie to complete the plate and of coursed topped with beef gravy.

Several fellows were in with their instruments playing some music. We had some singing along with. The entertainment was much enjoyed. Later on in the day some of the members were playing pool. It’s really great to see the activity in the clubroom. Members enjoying some social and relaxation time.

Today I’m off to the church this afternoon to help get ready for the Shrove Tuesday Pancake supper tomorrow evening. Yes, that means that Lent is about to start and in just 40 days we’ll be celebrating Easter Sunday. It’s early this year.
