I must apologize for being so late in getting my little write-up done for the local newspaper. November was not such a good month for my husband Stanley and me. We have no idea where Stanley was in contact with coronavirus, but we both tested positive for COVID-19. We had to isolate for two weeks. Neither of us were too sick and suffered only a minor case.
Everything at our house and the whole apartment building was cancelled for a few weeks. Many thanks to all those thoughtful people who helped us out by delivering groceries and medical supplies. It was much appreciated. A big thank you also to hospital staff, health-care workers and other caregivers for all their help during a pandemic that looms larger every day.
Christmas is not far away, as is the end of another year. It’s going to be a different Christmas season. Just take care.
For the fourth year the North Battleford Western Development Museum is hosting their Light Up the Village lights tour open until Jan. 9 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. every day except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The tour offers a spectacular experience. Hours of work went into setting up the display, as installers must be careful when working with heritage buildings. Thank to all the sponsors. It’s a good place to take the family for an evening drive.
Besides the museum lights there are also many homes and businesses in the Battlefords lighting up for theh olidays. Later in December there will be a twinkle tour to take in the show.
I would like to thank my friends of Baljennie for keeping me supplied with what little news I get to report. I have been submitting the Baljennie news for the past 45 years. We all try to keep the little district of Baljennie news in the local newspaper. I started submitted Baljennie news on Jan. 1, 1975. I have enjoyed it all these years.
Stanley and I would like to wish Regional News-Optimist correspondents, columnists, staff and all my readers a Merry Christmas. We’re thinking of you all at Christmas. May the peace and joy of the season be with you throughout the new year to come.
Do have a merry Christmas, which will be celebrated so differently this year. Keep warm, keep well and take care. We’ll be back again next year.
As for our encounter with COVID-19, we are pretty much back to normal now. But a word from one who knows, wearing a mask is a must when going out into the public. Please follow the rules and stay safe.
