'-V Page Sixteen THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER McHenry Shores Autumn Comes To The Scores Patt Petersen - 885-5425 To take time out from household duties and sit down in a comfortable chair, relax and put yourself in a thoughtful mood or gaze out the window at the river is a pastime in which few of us indulge. Most of us in the Shores have lovely scenery to look at and *he homes themselves create a very pretty sight indeed. The Fox Valley is well suited for flower growing and many of our yards make it a proven j fact. One garden seems to be having a running contest with ils neighbor as to the riot of color variety and vigor of the flowers and plants. Most of us here in the Shores have worked hard in the flower and vegetable gardens this summer and now that autumn is upon us we can sort of sit back and wait for the harvest so to speak. Fall is making us many gifts. Huge flocks of birds stop briefly on their way south. Taking their needed rests in our yards and on our rooftops. The yellow hammers, starlings and robins can be seen almost every morning taking up every available space and waddling over the yards. The pheasants have been coming out of wherever they keep themselves all summer long and can be spotted- on some of the back roads. "As for the trees: the sumac has already put on its new shade of red and coral and gold and the rest of the trees will soon follow. There's a certain crispness in .the air and some days it has been downright cold. There's no denying it. Fall has come to McHenry Shores. Especially when I can look across the fields and see the Harpers' front porch with eight fat pumpkins lining both sides of the steps. New Look for Beach Our beach no longer has the ejid of summer blues. With a ieaeh cleanup committee every week, comprised of the men of the subdivision, it really has been kept spic and span. The work of these men has b e e n g r e a t l y a p p r e c i a t e d a n d we hope we can expect as much cooperation next summer. Antumn Ramblings I think with the pretty fall scenery in our suBclivision that all of us are staying home to enjoy it. Some of us did get out over the past week, however. Gladys Korner passed a milestone in her life, so to speak, last Tuesday. She drove into Chicago by herself. The occasion was the golden jubilee of an insurance firm which %as being held in one of the major hotels in downtown Chicago. Gladys attended a reception and banquet along with her husband and 1200 others. It was a beautiful affair and during the banquet they were served steaks accompanied with wine. A dance was held afterward until about 1 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Brod helped celebrate the birthdays of their son and daughter-in-law last Friday by taking Richard and Gail out for dinner. Richard becomes of voting age this year as he turns 21. Nancy and Bill Ewald made a visit to Bill's partner and family in Libertyville, last week. They are Mr. and Mrs. Bob Proctor and their four children. The Calvert household was visited by Don's sister and mother over the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Jack of Chicago and their four children and Mrs. Georgia Calvert also of Chicago, all enjoyed a pleasant dinner at the Calverts. Mrs. Hinz had a guest last weekend in the person of her s i s t e r - i n - l a w , M r s . W i l l i a m Freeman of Chicago. Mr. Garret Boor, who is Bob Harper's father, had a visit from his brother, A1 Basznik, and his wife, Ann. An enjoyable afternoon was had by five of our ladies here in the subdivision. Loretta R a m a g e e n t e r t a i n e d H e l e n Smith, Virginia Verstege, Mildred Snively and Irene Mueller in her home. They had a pleasant lunch, conversation and ended up with a game of cards. Nothing better for these cold fall days. The Ramages also entertained on Saturday with a dinner party. As guests they had three other couples they have been friends with for quite some time. Helping to reminisce about old times were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Peterson of Long Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Earl Watson of Pistakee Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lather of Spring Grove. Later in the week the four women of this group me. Thmsday, October 4, 196%; again at the Ramages for canasta. "Gone Fishin" is what the Whitneys could have put on their door after their company came last Saturday. Their visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Larry Johnson and their three kids. Soon after they arrived the men and children went fishing. They were rather disappointed in their catch, however, since they only caught one little one. Hospitalized Mr- Lokay had been in the McHenry hospital for. two weeks. He was brought home last Saturday and is reported to be doing fine. Mary Ann Winters also spent a day and night in McHenry hospital over the third. We hope both are doing nicely now. Gals Gab and Gossip Gathering The next sewing club meeting will be held at Nancy Ewald's home. This will be this coming Tuesday night from 8 on. It's getting to be the time of year to start sewing on Christmas gifts. If you enjoy sewing why not come to the sewing club. Sounds logical, doesn't it? A Fishy Surprise David Winters had his ninth birthday Tuesday and celebrated it with a party. One of the gifts he received was quite a nice surprise for him. His mom and dad gave him an aquarium stocked with fish and complete with all the supplies.
