There has been a large out break of the flu and bad colds and nasty coughs. It has been happening right across Canada, much worse in some areas, making its rounds to start off the new year.
Get well wishes to Phil Bater on his recent stay at the Battlefords Union Hospital.
Hope you will be home soon.
We all were so thankful for a little break in the cold weather. For a few extra cold days it did stop a few school buses from operating.
You can notice the days getting longer. We don’t have much for snow about. Maybe later we will get more as the farmers do need moisture for this year’s crops and pastures.
