Today is your day Boomer! How much of your day is spent on electronics? If you're like me, probably too much. But it is a result of long, gloomy, cold winter days and COVID restrictions....right? It's okay, but we still have to get outside, exercise, and activate our brains, inside. However, it doesn't have to a computer game or Sodoku on-line; it could be an old-fashioned table puzzle like this one in the picture. It was a toughie, but my wife did most of it over a period of about a week. One thousand pieces-many of similar colour-that challenged her intellect and made her strategize and think. That's what us Boomers need. Our working lives, for the most part, are over.......so, we need something daily to exercise our brain cells too! It will keep us stimulated, alert, and more alive. Medical experts also believe it works against Boomers getting dementia. So, go "old school" and try a puzzle.....maybe for the first time in years! Cheers.
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
