Yummy... Dixie Lee

If you like Chicken... You'll Love Dixie Lee!

Dixie Lee has returned to Liverpool after a 20-year absence, and the family that ran the original store are the ones who brought it back. David and Diane Bursey opened the Dixie Lee in Liverpool on September 7, 1972.   Now thier son, Andrew, has opened a new Dixie Lee Family Restaurant on Main Street.

Dixie Lee offers a variety of chicken and seafood dinners, and its popular coleslaw, to dine in or take out.

An Honour

We continue to be amazed and appreciative of how the community has welcomed us so warmly.

In this case, we extend heartfelt and humble gratitude for the generous gift from Mary and Chris Brown... a hooked rug of Ulgedook Cottage. As Susan says, the rug is truly stunning, and is a testament to Mary’s talent as a fibre artist. We are honoured to have one of Mary’s creations.

The rug will hang proudly in the church, and we will treasure it always. Thanks again Mary and Chris!

Mass Mouse Trap

The mouse population in East Port Medway is on the rise, and people are taking up arms in a counter-attack. I have opted for a “Mass Mouse Trap” (no pun intended) in an attempt to capture multiple mice without re-baiting. The concept is simple… partly fill a bucket with water, and lure the mice to fall in and drown. As pictured below, the bucket of water has two spindles secured above it, the top one with a canister of peanut butter, and the bottom one with a slippery container for the mouse to fall off and drop into the water below.

The trap looks and sounds good, but whether it is effective is yet to be tested.

Post Script (November 10, 2012): Mickey and Mighty Mouse were caught lounging poolside, while Minnie, Speedy Gonzales, and Jerry Mouse were found floating belly-up in the pool.

NEWS! Andrea & Pete are getting married... here!!
