We’re back with our second installment of Scribbles INSIDER. Here’s a look at what some of our Scribbles pals have been up to lately and just for fun, one story featured below is fake. Can you figure out which one it is?


JODY & DOGGY LILY AT THEIR SUMMER HOME
As we reported in Scribbles, earlier this year, our pal Jody Edwards spent several months in Florida as a volunteer at Clearwater Marine Aquariums, a rescue, recovery and release facility for marine life. One of the things Jody really loved was being near the ocean and although it’s not quite the same, she’s found another relaxing setting to enjoy. Jody will be spending part of this summer at her dad’s seldom-used cottage on the shores of Lake Erie in Port Colborne. Although there won’t be any dolphins or pelicans to rescue, we’re certain Jody will love the location almost as much as Florida….emphasis on “almost” LOL!


KINCARDINE SHOWS ITS PRIDE
Steve Sauder loves his life in Toronto, but it’s the small town of Kincardine that he originally called home. Steve was thrilled to discover that the tiny town recently played host to its first ever Pride parade. “Who says small communities are insular and conservative and closed-minded?” said Steve.“Kincardine Pride (it feels odd even saying those words together) was a success on a level that even the organizers hadn't predicted. Thousands of people came out to support inclusion and welcome the LGBTQ community. Things have certainly changed for the better in the little town that today I'm proud to say I grew up in.”


RUFUS & JOAN
Half a cup of olive oil, third of a cup of cider vinegar and one teaspoon of minced garlic…those were the only ingredients that made it into the jar that St. Catharines friend Joan Wiley was making homemade salad dressing in before the jar tipped. It splashed onto the floor and cabinets and soaked Joan’s jeans, sandals and feet. “The house smelled like a salad bar” said Joan. “It seems like I’m getting clumsier, if that’s possible” she added. Good thing Joan recently retired, it gives her more time to clean things up.


JUDY WITH BABY CLAIRE
Congratulations to Judy and Dale Teigrob on the arrival of their second little girl, Claire Elsye, who tipped the scales at 7 lb, 11 oz when she arrived on June 17th (13 days after her mommy’s birthday…a great gift indeed!)


There’s been a lot to celebrate at Winnipeg couple Virginia and Michelle’s place. Daughter Rebakah will be representing Manitoba in triple jump in the next Canada Games. And as if that wasn’t enough reason to “jump” for joy (LOL), Ginny & Mickey’s new home is getting closer to being ready to move in to. We’re thrilled to hear of all this good news.


HEATHER & RODNEY
Heather and Rodney Dennis have come up with a unique way to sell their 3 bedroom home in Welland. The couple put an ad in several local newspapers, that features a photo of them standing in front of their house. Above the photo is the caption: “Buy Our House and We’ll Babysit for You for an Entire Year”. That should certainly help put a “Sold” sign out front very soon.


ANGELA & CANADA ROCKS
And speaking of moving…we told you last month that Terry & Terry Lyons-Schram were leaving Toronto and heading to London (Ontario). We’re happy to report the boys are now settled in to their new home and apparently love having so much more space to decorate and call home.


Oh, Ang-ela! ….Nova Scotia Scribbles fan Angela O’Neill-Whiteley impressed more than just her family and friends when she hand-painted red and white Canadian flags on 150 beach rocks in celebration of our country’s big 150th birthday. Since completing the patriotic painting, Angie has been featured on local TV and print news sources. Way to go Ang!
