Due to numerous COVID outbreaks on Thetis, we have made the decision cancel Soup’s On for this week. 
We plan to resume on November 23rd.

This was a big decision to make, and our stalwart volunteers agreed that it was best for this week.

Take care everyone,

Woodworker to make Custom Doors

Looking for an island woodworker to build four custom, insulated doors. Timeline is 3-4 months, so can be accomplished as a winter hobby of sorts.  I can purchase materials upfront so there isn’t a cost burden.

Ukulele Cancelled

Seems that all social gatherings are being cancelled for this week, due to another visit from our unwelcome Cousin Covid. Thus, to be on the safe side, Ukulele shall be cancelled for this week. (Too bad because James had a set of Christmas music all prepared for hands and voices. So… next Tue. aft. at 4:00 pm, we shall welcome the Christmas spirit.)

See y’all then,

Orange Harmonica

I drove on Moore Hill and noticed the wee tree at viewpoint had no orange harmonica in its branches. I planted with my friend the little tree in memory of my mother. I visit it very often and have taken care of the tree so it will be free to grow further.

The wedding bell and globe are still hanging there in the tree, and I miss the harmonica.

If you have removed it and read this, pls be so kind and thoughtful to return it to its rightful spot.

It is a memorial tree. for a very long time now, years.

Thank you for returning the instrument........
