Everyone is glad to see the snow disappear. There are many tasks to be done on the farm before seeding starts, as well as more outdoor construction appearing and gardeners delight in this time of the year.

Maymont is always a thriving place and here are a few up-and-coming events. The Maymont Dance Club is holding their annual year-end dance recital Saturday, May 6 at 1 p.m. in the school gymnasium. Come support all of the dedicated students who are eager to share their dancing abilities with the audience.

A come-and-go tea and lunch at the Memorial Hall in honour of Pat Beaudoin will be held May 13. This 90th birthday gathering will bring people from far and wide. No gifts, please.

Church services at Maymont Sharon United Church are May 7 and 28 and June 11 and 25 with ministers Joyce Salie and JoAnn Hill every other week. This is a large older building with stained glass windows, older pews and a charming character.

A town-wide garage sale in Maymont is a month away. It will be held Saturday, June 10 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The seniors’ club will have a bake sale in the seniors’ hall on this day.

Maymont Library is looking for individuals who can give up a couple of hours to attend a meeting approximately four times a year. Volunteers are needed to assist with fundraising projects and work at fundraising events. Help support literacy and come promote this local library. Please call Sheri the main librarian who can give more details.

Who rules the roast? This big roaster starts awakening the winter snowbirds at 4 a.m. We get used to it but when one gets awakened to a flock of them, it’s a little loud. Retired senior tourists seldom need an alarm clock. Why who’s in a big rush?

Irene Polichuk’s comeand-go 90th birthday celebration Saturday, May 13 is between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Battlefords Wildlife

Service held at Leipzeg, Sask. Beside the church. Saturday, May 6th, 2023 at 2:00. Coffee & Sweets to enjoy while family & friends gather.

5:00 Tropical Inn North Battleford Slide Show & Beef on a bun Hotel rooms available there in lieu of flowers. Please make check payable to Prairie Sky Recovery Center or email Jacqueline.hoffman@ prairieskyrecovery.ca

Thank you for all the love and support at the Territorial Drive Alliance Church in North Battleford. I had expressed our sympathy to her children Ronald, Norman, Charlene and families after her passing March 5. Also, the funeral of a longtime resident who passed away this past winter, Ralph Lange of Mayfair, is scheduled for Saturday, May 13 at 1 p.m. in Mayfair Hall. He leaves to mourn his son Dan (Sandra) of Mayfair and families.

Federation building. I had omitted the time in last week’s column. Do you want your young child to learn the rules of playing soccer? Starting Monday, May 8 until June 19 Hafford Spring Mini Soccer is hosting a “learn to play for fun” camp at the school. Forty-five-minute sessions for ages three to five and six to eight are offered. The cost is only $20 per child. Register by texting Lisa at 306-380-8890.

Anne Van Nortwick’s funeral is to be held this Saturday, May 6 at 2 p.m.

A former Mayfair kid who is now a well-seasoned cowboy, Ashton

Lehman, placed well at the Battlefords 51st Kinsmen Rodeo this past weekend at the civic centre. He is the manager at Paynton Pastures Ltd. His older brother Dusty, who resides in Alberta, is also into horses and rodeos.

May is the fifth month of the calendar year. May your finances multiply, may your health improve, may your friends be blessed, may your family be loved, may your pain lessen and may your worries disappear. May God bless you all!

Missingyoualways, Mom,Dad,Jane,Mitchand gangwhoarewaitingto meetthisUncleNicothey haveheardsomuchabout!

May 6, 1935 – August 22, 2015 without you here….

…long days with no phone call to look forward to in the evening, catching up on small talk, what the kids are doing, a songbird you heard, the pink of the sunset, how a summer rain freshened up the grass…

Tea in your kitchen where time stood still. Garden ripened tomatoes on toasted homemade bread. Butter melting on fresh cinnamon buns. Cream, sugar, fresh saskatoons from the bush by the shed. Farm roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, gravy, salad from garden lettuce picked fresh each meal. You did a week’s work every day…

Family get togethers or seeing your van come down the driveway, kids excited for a day in town with Grandma. Treats from the store and treats at MacDonalds on the way home. Bantam chicks under a heat lamp pecking fresh chop from the bottom of their cardboard home. Waiting for their siblings to hatch before returning to the clucking hen. Pant legs rolled up above your ankles. Feet in running shoes that ran everywhere they went. Hoeing weeds in the garden in the middle of a hot summer afternoon… the weeds killed best and you loved the heat of the sun.

Christmas with every room in the house decorated. Ceilings dripping with streamers, twinkle lights everywhere. Christmas pudding with caramel sauce. Midnight lunch with homemade buns, cold turkey with lightly sprinkled salt and pepper, cranberry on the side… Miss your twinkling blue eyes, your whistle as you worked, your quick smile with perfect white teeth, miss you sitting at the table, loving up a grandchild perched on your lap… …gone but not forgotten.
