Originates from selling livestock long ago and back then meant “buying false goods.” Piglets were sold in bags (called “pokes”) and sometimes a cat was put in the bag instead of a piglet, so when the person opened the bag to this deception, they “let the cat out of the bag.” Experience our unique store! • Games & Puzzles • Crossroads sr oads Candles • Calendars ar • Children’s Books • Greeng Cards • Unique Gis & Decor 22 Main St. West • Norwich•519-863-2380 ourgishoppe@execulink.com Drawer Slides, European Hinges, Screws, Glues, Abrasives, Fittings & Hose for Dust Collection, Crafting and Woodworking Supplies, Wood Parts, and a whole lot more that we've been told you can't find anywhere else! all your project supplies under one roof!

You are totally irresponsible. ONE BITE AT A TIME You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other people who eat their Oreos this very same way. Just like them, you lack imagination, but that's ok, not to worry, you're normal. SLOW AND METHODICAL You follow the rules. You're very tidy and orderly. You're very meticulous in every detail with everything you do, to the point of being irritating to others. Stay out of the fast lane if you're only going to go the speed limit. FEVEROUS NIBBLES Your boss likes you because you get your work done quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to do them. DUNKED Every one likes you because you are always upbeat. You like to sugar-coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good ones. TWISTED APART, THE INSIDE AND THEN THE COOKIE You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, but you're not always able to put them back together, so you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. TWISTED APART, THE INSIDE, AND THEN TOSS THE COOKIE You are good at business and take risks that pay off. You take what you want and throw the rest away. You are greedy, selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You should be ashamed of yourself. But that's ok, you don't care, you got yours. JUST THE COOKIE, NOT THE INSIDE You enjoy pain. Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreo Cookies: I JUST LIKE TO LICK THEM, NOT EAT THEM Stay away from small furry animals and seek professional medical help - immediately.

April 29th - May 12th A showcase h se of Norfolk olk Artists t & Artisans Motherly: affectionate, caring, comforting, protective—just a few adjectives found in the dictionary describing the person we refer to as mother. As I sit back and slowly open the heart shaped locket left to me by my mother, I gaze upon a miniature face… young, innocent and incredibly beautiful, a torrent of memories suddenly flood my mind. I remember her as hard working, tireless in her endeavour to ensure my siblings and I were always properly fed and clothed, her surroundings kept spotlessly clean. This was the normal role of women in the 1940’s and ‘50s, but her circumstances were anything but normal. Less than two years after marrying my father, leaving a secure job in the city, he was persuaded to purchase an ice cream parlour and confectionery in a small town 100 miles away. Suddenly uprooted from her family, she was thrown into the task of helping to run an unknown enterprise. I was a one year old at the time, and foreseeing the task must have been daunting. Over the next 25 years she would raise three children, run the household, and assist in many aspects of the business. Mom always seemed to be busy. Her Memories of Mom days were filled with household duties as well as obligations to the store. I will forever remember the hours spent ironing everything in sight, and I mean everything. One day I asked why she felt compelled to put so much effort into something so unnecessary. She had no answer, it was just something one did. I mentioned we were well fed, and my mouth waters recalling the taste of her perogies, cabbage rolls, and breaded, fried chicken. Oh, forgot to mention, our restaurant boasted the best burgers in town. No matter how hard I try, and I really try, I cannot duplicate her recipes. Something always seems to be missing. She was a perfectionist, and this was reinforced one day when we were making the aforementioned cabbage rolls. I was having a difficult time rolling the cabbage leaves, and she kept slapping my hand and rewrapping them as I attempted to place my very uneven, loose little bundles in the pot. “Why did they have to be perfect?” I asked, after all, they would be covered in sauce and nobody would notice. She just gave me the look. I got the message loud and clear. By Betty Popelier, Sarnia Although Mom wasn’t one to display emotions, or voice endearments, she was always there when a bandage was needed for a booboo, when a nose had to be wiped, when a new hairdo was required, in fact, whenever something was needed, she always made certain it was provided. No matter how hard she worked, or how much her body ached at the end of a long day, I never heard her complain. A fond memory returns, of the evening my boyfriend and I arrived home from a date well beyond my midnight curfew. I was armed and ready with several excuses, as I didn’t know what, or who to expect waiting for me at the door. Sure enough it was Mom, and I prepared myself for the worst lecture of my life.

My parents sold the store shortly after I was married and moved back to their hometown, Windsor and over the next 20 years I felt that Mom and I drifted apart. Unfortunately it was the death of my father that provided the opportunity to close that gap. My brother, sister and I persuaded her to move back to Petrolia. Thankfully I was given a second chance, an opportunity to hear those three little words spoken more often, and we forged a closer relationship before her death. Did my mother influence my life? Of course. High standards were set, and I learned it is not necessarily what we say, but what we do, that speaks volumes. Thanks for the memories, Mom.
