Welcome to... THE Club Thank you, to all the advertisers you see throughout the magazine. A Dog's Best Friend A man wrote to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation. He wrote: “I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?” An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said: “I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes or silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, Your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here too.” P A G E 12 COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR AGES 55+ www.agefriendlysarnialambton.ca fi i i Your one-stop shop for local supports and resources, from health care and social support services to local events and transportation.

Tammy Maure Locally Owned and Operated 1249 London Road 519-491-6778 londonroadpharmacy.com Simple Pleasures In the constant struggle for success, self confidence, self satisfaction and self identity, we seem to drift deeper into the world of materialism and instant gratification. Our over indulgence as well as the drive to survive and succeed, drive us to lead a very fast, stressful and frustrating lifestyle. Fortunately most of us are given a second chance to unwind and to again take pleasure in the simple things of life when we become grandparents. We begin to see the world through tiny uncluttered eyes. We learn to take the time to listen, to see and to do simple things together. We quickly learn to create opportunities to discover and to share precious priceless moments with little money spent and a lot of memories made. For little fingers and minds, the garden is truly a magical place. Seeds are planted and nurtured to create a variety of wonderful surprises. It is a big payoff for persistence, patience and hard work. What excitement in their eyes as they pull long orange carrots from the rich brown soil. Finding hidden cucumbers, tomatoes and zucchini among the many huge green leaves is also an exciting discovery. The extra bonus of recognizing and identifying a cornucopia of bees, beetles and butterflies becomes a lasting learning experience. In the ten acre woodlot, each season of nature’s beauty surrounds us. In the spring, the touch and feel of Trilliums and May Apples, confirm the magic of their numbers. In the summer, what a thrill it is to see the evening woods light up with countless fire flies. Of course, in the fall, the crunching of the leaves as we take our walks is music to our ears. Winter again fills us with awe as we follow the many animal tracks in the fresh fallen snow. Even Nana and Upa make snow angels with the girls. There is now lots of time to teach little by Betti Szeider, Windham Centre from Daytripping’s Fall 2010 issue fingers and minds in Nana’s kitchen. Seeing their confidence and curiosity grow, gives Nana the extra patience she needs to get the job done. The surprise in their eyes as they see how much sugar goes into homemade jam is Nana’s reward, after seeing them clean and hull the berries and finally stir them into the big boiling pot of ingredients. The girls are very interested in Upa’s fly tying skills. They are captivated by the variety of materials used in this interesting hobby. It is amazing how their little fingers quickly learn to expertly wind the thread around the tiny hooks. Using their imagination, they have advanced, with Upa’s guidance, to create their own flies, which they proudly hang in a special place for all to see and admire. We have learned to do many indoor and outdoor chores, which have taught patience, persistence, responsibility and pride in doing their best. We have learned that it is important to really listen to each other and to solve our problems together in a fair and usually simple way. We have learned to give and receive love and respect each others feelings. We also have found that it feels so good to laugh a lot together. Life seems so uncomplicated at Upa and Nana’s place. The age of fast moving technology is slowly taking over our world. Our only wish for the girls is that they will remember the love and simple pleasures that we all shared here together for so many years. We hope that they will guard this precious love and contentment deep within their hearts and use it when they have the need to relax and unwind from the hustle bustle world that will surely become so much a part of their future lives.
