The annual LaVallee Christmas potluck held last Sunday (December 15) was topped off with a visit from jolly Santa Claus. Santa’s visit was much enjoyed by the youth attending along with adults enjoying Santa’s visit. Santa had Christmas bags of treats for all attending. Ron and Charlene McTavish once again cooked, setup, cleaned up and all the other tasks that come with putting on an enjoyable evening for all attending. Thanks to Ron and Charlene for their dedicated service to all attending.

Robin’s 2 cents
A couple went to breakfast as a restaurant where the “senior’s special” was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99…
“Sounds good,” the wife said…”But I don’t want the eggs.”
“Then I’ll have to charge you $3.49 because you’re ordering a la carte,” the waiter warned her.
“You mean I’d have to pay for not taking the eggs?” the wife asked
“I’ll take the special then,” the wife said.
‘Great…how do you want your eggs” the waiter asked.
“Raw and in the shell,” the wife replied.
She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.
DON’T MESS WITH SENIORS!! We’ve been around the block more than once!
