Smile for Today ~

"Novelists are better off than playwrights.  You can't boo a bad book.  Or if you do you run the risk of being regarded as eccentric."

"There is a deep-rooted conviction in the profession that a good text is one that is easy to learn.  I don't believe it.  I think that in common with most good things a good text is one that is difficult to learn, but even more difficult to forget."

~ Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)  English Actor, playwright, dramatist, author, film maker, newspaper & magazine columnist.
Quotable Ustinov, Doubleday Canada, 1995.

All Your Gardening Needs
Cayuga and District Chamber of Commerce ~

has a new President, John Edelman, owner of Haldimand Motors.  A whole new movement is afoot!  Cayuga businesses are actively participating in a cooperative media blitz to show the wonderful services available in our district.

Many of you already have a Facebook profile.  Good or bad ~ is it any different than most things?  Facebook is a powerful tool when one wants to reach potential customers.  Facebook is even holding tutoring classes on Parliament Hill for members of Parliament.  There's gotta be something to this.

Check out Cayuga-on-the-Grand, Haldimand Motors, Grand Attractions, etc. and be amazed at the opportunities right here in our community.
