Happy Halloween

We spent Saturday at Ulgedook Cottage, starting with an enjoyable visit with Kerry and Evelyn Chambers... yummy food, LOTS of wine, and engaging conversation. Following dinner, we went to a Halloween Party in Milton, hosted by Brian Fralic and Jamie Stewart. Many partiers, from the ghoulish to the foolish. Susan was a Naughty Nun, and I was the Mindful Monk. A wonderful event... thanks Brian (aka The Mad Hatter) and Jamie (King Kong, carrying caged Ann Darrow; regretfully, no photo).

Church Poem, by Margaret Angus

A special thanks to Margaret Angus, friend and colleague, for crafting a wonderful poem, entitled "The Church." Inspired during a two day writers retreat at Ulgedook Cottage, Margaret has captured the spiritual and communal value of the church. Susan expressed our appreciation to Margaret by saying, "This is lovely. You created pictures of warm and tender memories, capturing the history and meaning of the church from the hearts and minds of those who worshiped there. Thank you for also celebrating it's new place of peace. "

A little history

This little bit of history is compliments of Kathryn Lemieux, a former trustee of the Wesley United Church.
