Congratulations to Scott Galusha and Karlee Goulet on their April 27 engagement. Many will not be surprised that Scott proposed while fishing with Karlee. They were fishing at Boyscout Fall on the McIntyre River. Scott got down on one knee and asked Karlee if she would make him the happiest trout in the stream and she said yes!!!
Happy parents are Ralph and Tamara Galusha and Roger and Carla Goulet.
A wedding date has not been set. Our community wishes them many years of happy fishing.
Robin’s 2 cents
A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbour and says,
“Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.”
Her neighbour asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”
The little silver haired lady says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a rooster.”
Her neighbour decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says,
“First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.”
he takes her hand and says, “Secondly, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then,” he said with a deep sigh….”Let’s put all the Corn Flakes back in the box.”
