Tredarrup

Five decades have passed since the warmth of a perfect day shone on the newlyweds of Beeton. Just north of urban sprawl, St. Pauls Anglican was the setting for a union that was about to initiate a life of love and adventure. A Brown’s Corner farm became their forever home, where they invested in hard work, and trusted that Mother Nature would bless them with favourable and prosperous conditions. The health care field called her name, and she served others unselfishly at two different Forest City hospitals. The arrival of two sons brought them joy, and as they grew into military careers pride mixed with substantial worry circled in their thoughts. Six grandchildren have blessed their lives with youthful enthusiasm, and Magnetawan became their playground. Lake Cecebe became a vintage boat’s channel to adventure, and delight abounded during boathouse fishing sessions. Late fall and early spring often drew them to the slopes of Arizona’s Superstition Mountain Range where wildflowers and cactus blooms greeted them in shades of yellow and crimson splendour. Canyon Lake cruises surrounded them with amethyst encrusted cliffs and dreams of Dutchman’s gold. With family tree always on her mind, they hope their future honours their past by travelling to Pas de Calais, France to visit a young man named Samuel who was lost on June 29, 1916. Violet breezes blow gently over past and future dreams, as they give thanks for fifty years of memories, and look forward to many more in the spirit of Tredarrup.

  • After the Storm

    The calmness in the water of Lake of Two Rivers is interrupted by an approaching storm. The winds pick up with a sudden surge, wildlife seeks shelter in a frenzy of activity, and the skies open up with a burst of moisture. All around, the air is filled with a freshness that adds rich hues to the surrounding features. The raindrops on the branches descend slowly as if moved by unseen forces, and new life is spawned on the forest floor below. The calmness soon returns to the waters of Algonquin, and life begins again, after the storm.

    St. Pauls College introduced two young students to each other, as well as the opportunity to make other life long friends. Love blossomed between the two, and led to a stiffling hot August day in seventy-seven, where exchanged vows changed their lives forever. Gibson Lake taught them the joys of paddling, and Killarney proved that the quickest way to escape a bear was to head out on the water.
