SERVICES NEWS WALKERTON Monday Harold and Hazel Schweder were in charge of the books and program. Tuesday everyone just sat around and talked, also got caught up on the latest gossip. Wednesday Willard told us a poem about “Jonah and the Whale”. Thursday we were glad to have Terry Johnson from REAL Services in South Bend with us. Jessie Schaeffer told us some short stories and jokes. A memory jogger: If the cost of today’s fancy athletic shoes has you shaking your head, consider this No. 1 ditty: “With jogging today such a popular fad, I can’t help but remember when I was a lad, we didn’t need shoes or specialty suits, we could run barefoot or even in boots. Yes times are different — you need money to run. We used to do it for plain old fun”. No. 2: My six year old son lost a baby tooth on a recent hectic night. He woke me the next morning complaining “Mommy, the tooth fairy didn’t come” Not thinking I told him that I was the tooth fairy and had forgotten. Stunned he said, “Now 1 know why you’re so tired every morning. You go all over the world at night!”
