In my last news report, I must apologize for a mistake on the date for the Western Development Museum workshop bee. It should have read Jan. 12 and not Jan. 20. There will be a second workshop bee at the museum on Friday, Jan. 26. 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers are most welcome.
We all welcome the sudden change in the weather from the extra cold days to end the old year and welcome the new year in. Just so lucky not to have to battle with any amount of snow like others areas of the country. We are not out of the woods yet as there is likely more winter weather and cold temperatures to come. At least while it was so cold we were treated to clear skies. There was an early year beautiful big full moon. Being that early in the month means there will be two full moons in January, and the last moon is called the blue moon.
The extreme cold lead to a frozen water pipe at Bridge Road Apartments. Before it was found it had already flooded the downstairs main entrance area waiting room, bathroom and into the common room. It was a big job to get that all cleaned up. Now the main entrance doors are locked up in order to let contractor crews redo the entrance area. For now the intercom is out of service. You have to use the cell phone to inform the tenant to come down to the side doors to let anyone in the building. It’s not a handy situation at the present. Hopefully it will be back to normal soon.
We welcome Jeannett Wickstrand from Eagle Hills into our apartment building. Jeannette is house-sitting for Olga Mayback while she has gone to British Columbia for the winter months.
