What a rainy week... we need some sunshine. The plants like all the rain but we don't need the chill in the air. (Ralph Everdyke must wonder what's going on. They come back to the North at a time they thought was safe and they need to look through the boxes in the attic for their sweaters.)

If you have an extra bedroom and love baseball, the baseball players for the Raptors Collegiate team are looking for a place to stay. They come from all over the United States. Being so far from home, it would be nice to have a family to live with. The guys will be looking for a place to stay during June and July. All you have to supply is a bed, kitchen and bathroom to use. The guys are responsible for the weekly rent and their own food... For more information, contact Jeanette at 331.8793 or Ruth at 438.8850.
