so they park them on
display in the driveway.
you have a
garage
attached to your home?
You don’t have to look far,
there are probably a
dozen on the street you
live on. Nearly 90% of new
homes come complete
with a basic garage, and
many older homes
constructed during the
boom in the late 60’s
came with gargaes too.
I’ve often wondered how
many people who have a
garage actually have
cars in them? Mine
certainly doesn’t.
Other than the day we
bought the house with
the garage. there has
never been room in mine
for a car amongst the
boxes of Christmas
decorations, the
lawnmower, the snow
blower, shovels, the
various gardening
equipment, boxes off old
clothes and pieces of
miscellaneous cast off
furniture, leftovers from
yard sales and auctions,
boxes
of
They were, and continue
to be a great status
symbol. If one has a
garage on their house,
they must drive something
nice. But most people who
drive nice cars want
everyone in the
neighbourhood to know it,
stuff my kids never took
when they finally moved
out, boxes of stuff their
kids left behind while
away at college that they
couldn’t fit into their
own garages, things
stored for the
neighbours, and stuff I
didn’t even know I
owned, and maybe
don’t.
Good heavens, I can
barely make my way to
the far corner to the
lightswitch, let alone
park my car in there.
So one day I decided to
take a drive around the
area and do some
snooping to see what
other people do with
their garages. It didn’t
take long, many people
leave their garage doors
up all day long, and you
can easily see in
driving by.
Some people had
your typical
garage, like mine,
filled from
floor to
ceiling
with boxes
and
containers,
piles of this
and that,
green bins,
garbage

recyclable sortation, yard
equipment, etc. It was all
there, just like mine, no
room for a car, even one
of those small “clown”
cars.
But some people had very
nice, clean garages.
Garages with plenty of
open space in the middle,
beautifully organized
shelves all around the
perimeter, stacked with
colour coordinated
Rubbermaid containers,
all nicely labeled .
I decided in my own mind
that these people must be
brand new owners, just
moved in, or that they
don’t really have a car.
Maybe they are just a
young new couple with no
children yet and all the
paraphernalia that comes
along with that. These
types of garages were few
and far between, so I was
satisfied that my garage is
not that different from
most out there.
Of course, there were
plenty of garages who’s
doors were closed and so I
couldn’t get a look inside.
I guess it will keep me
wondering. So what do
you keep in your garage?
Your car that was meant
to go there, or everything
else that fits?

From the Editor
Sitting here today in the cool breeze and
the sunshine, I’m thinking I blinked and
summer passed by, Traditionally the last
weeks of July and the first week of August
are the “Dog Days” of summer, the hottest,
muggiest days, but it seems we had the
hottest days (so far anyhow) in the middle
of July and now that August is set to arrive,
things are cooling off. Enjoy the remainder
of the sunshine while you can.
We received a
boatload of
responses to the
book contest
question this month
and have drawn two
names from the
correct answers
received from both
questions asked.
The first question
was: “Who’s apple
warehouse in
Hantsport was the
site of the first Apple Blossom Ball in
1929?” The answer: Laurie Sanford. The
second question was: “John Wiley Churchill
built the house that we now know as
Churchill House as the centre jewel in his
16-acre estate. What did he call his
estate? “ The answer of course was “The
Cedars”
We are pleased to announce Mrs. Bernita
Davison of Hantsport and Donald Silver of
Kentville as the winners of the two copies
of “Ships & Sales and Hantsport Tales” so
graciously donated to us by author David
Pollard. We hope you enjoy your read, your
books are in the mail and on their way.

Paper Work
Where is my Sunday
paper?' The irate customer
calling the newspaper
office loudly demanded,
wanting to know where her
Sunday edition was.
'Ma'am,' said the newspaper
employee, 'today is Saturday.
The Sunday paper is not
delivered until tomorrow, on
Sunday.'
There was quite a long pause
on the other end of the
phone, followed by a ray of
recognition. as she was
heard to mutter, 'Well, that
explains why no one was at
church today.'
New Fangled
A new supermarket opened
near my house. It has an
automatic water mister to
keep the produce fresh.
Just before it goes on, you
hear the sound of distant
thunder and the smell of
fresh rain.
When you pass the milk
cases, you hear cows mooing
and you experience the
scent of freshly mowed hay.
In the meat department there
is the aroma of charcoal
grilled steaks with onions.
The sound of a breeze in the
trees and water in a babbling
brook welcomes you to the
fish display. When you
approach the egg case, you
hear hens cluck and cackle
and the air filled with the
pleasing aroma of bacon and
eggs frying.

features the tantalizing smell
of fresh baked bread &

Dr. Doctor
A Newfie was terribly
overweight, so his doctor
put him on a diet. “I want
you to eat regularly for 2
days, then skip a day, and
repeat this procedure for 2
weeks. The next time I see
you, you should have lost at
least 5 pounds.”
When the Newfie returned,
he shocked the doctor by
having lost nearly 60lbs!
“Why, that's amazing!” the
doctor said, “Did you follow
my instructions?”
The Newfie nodded…”I'll tell
you though, I t'aut fir shar I
were going to drop dead on
dat 3rd day.”
“From the hunger, you
mean?” asked the doctor.
The Newfie was not
amused; “No, from the
bleedin skippin I done!”
Dating Again
After four years of
separation, my wife and I
finally divorced amicably. I
wanted to date again, but I
had no idea of how to start,
so I decided to look in the
personals column of the
local newspaper. After
reading through all the
listings, I circled three that
seemed possible in terms
of age and interest, but I
put off calling them.
Two days later, there was a
message on my answering
machine from my ex-wife. "I
came over to your house to
borrow some tools today
and saw the ads you circled
in the paper. Don't bother to
call the one in the second
column. It's me."
Dead Horse
Dakota tribal wisdom says
that when you discover you
are riding a dead horse, the
best strategy is to dismount

often try other strategies
with dead horses, including
the following:

Changing riders.
Saying things like "This
is the way we always
have ridden this horse."
Appointing a committee
to study the horse.
Arranging to visit other
sites to see how they
ride dead horses.
Appointing a team to
revive the dead horse.
Creating a training
session to increase our
riding ability.

requirements declaring
that "This horse is not
dead."
Hire contractors to ride
the dead horse.
