Beautiful Downtown Millbrook
Millbrook and District Food Share does a great job serving the needy in our area. We must tip our hat to all their hard-working volunteers.
Sharing you
I know I’m sharing you
I’m not the only one who’s in your heart
And though it hurts me to go on sharing you
I know my helpless heart just can’t be free
But even though I must keep sharing you
You know you’ll never be sharing me
Oh, no, you’ll never be sharing me
Bobby Vee hit song “Sharing You”

PEDDLE FOR HOPE PIZZA PARTY
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Wordlessly watching, he wonders at the emptiness inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dream
Did he hear a goodbye, or a hello?
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
Love isn’t lying
Crosby, Stills & Nash hit song “Helplessly hoping”
(Photo courtesy of the Millbrook Times. Thank you very much, Cathy & Bev)

No more ace to play

Our fate is cold as ice

The loser standing small

KATHY'S LAST NIGHT IN MILLBROOK
*******************************************
KATHY'S FAREWELL PARTY
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm
Continuously tapping on my roof and walls
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you are asleep
They kiss you when you start your day
Simon & Garfunkel “Kathy’s Song”
After 28 years in Millbrook, Kathy is leaving, to a place called Sutton. No matter where you are, there is always a place, in our heart, for you.
*********************************************************
OLD GRIST MILL
Rain falls from heaven, swelling up the pond
Water flows ever so gently down the creek
The turbine beats up a frenzy
The mill works diligently grinding down barley and oat
There is food for all
There is life till eternity
"Old Grist Mill" is the title of one of the finest oil paintings by local artist Carl Martin. This mill by the pond has always been a Millbrook landmark and, in present day, is known as the Needler's Mill.

There’s got to be a morning after

Right outside the storm
Let’s march through together
To a place that is safe and warm

But don’t be sad
Lift up your pretty chin
Don’t let those tears begin

You will pull through somehow

Nothing is left but our song

Our sonata of love

INFANT COUGH & COLD MEDICINE
In response to Health Canada (Public Enquiry 1-866-225-0709) concern, major makers of children medicine are removing their under-2-years-of-age products from the market. These products generally contain more than 1 ingredient and pose life-threatening risks to young children/infants due to overdose. Common cold, a viral infection, usually goes away on its own. The condition can be easily managed by rest, sufficient fluid, and comfort measures. If symptoms persist or deteriorate, bacterial infection (e.g. pneumonia) may be suspected and medical attention is in order

THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF MILLBROOK FALL FOLIAGE
I ask, I dream
I think, I imagine
Where am I going? Let the wind be my guide
What do I see? Let my heart be my eye
This world is so beautiful
Why hate and harm each other
Co-existence is better than co-destruction
Take a step back and let’s all sing together
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Soft breeze asks: Can you see clearly now?
Soft breeze urges: Let your heart decide
Million flowers carry million different fragrances
Million people play million complement roles
Learn to appreciate and accept each other
Let this world rest in peace and harmony
Translated from Danny Summer “OM” - A Buddhist song originally sung in Cantonese

MILLBROOK MEDIA TYCOON CATHY
The small village of Millbrook has great potential. But because of limited traffic, each business owner must work a little harder to succeed. You may be good, but do people know about it? One traditional promotional tool is advertising.
Ever since I took over the Millbrook Times, its circulation has increased 5-fold. With such a big readership, business owners can ill afford not to use this print media to reach their target audience.

MILLBROOK WHERE MY LOVE LIVES
Every day seems endless
How slow the moments go
But how fast they fly
The next time I see my love
All my sorrow soon will leave me
This old world will seem like new
The next time I see my love
There are no words that I could say
What it means to me to see her face
The next time I am in Millbrook again
Adapted from The Shadows “Mary Anne”
**********************************
RAINBOW OVER A MILLBROOK HILL
At the end of a rainbow,
You'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story,
You'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure
Our hearts can always spend
And it has a story without any end

This is the moment
I’ve waited for
I can hear my heart singing
Soon bells will be ringing
Here I am now dear

Promise me that you will leave me never
I will love you longer than forever

I do love you with all my heart

BICYCLE KIDS ON THE MILLBROOK TRAIL
There aren’t million bicycles in Millbrook
A fact we can’t deny
Like the fact that I’ll love you till I die
Our universe is many billions year old
That’s a guess no one can safely say if it is true
But I do know that the one I admire most is you
There are billions of people in this world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you are the one I want most of all
Modified from Katie Melua “Nine Million Bicycles”
