Well what do we have to complain about? Yes, it is wet and yes, summer did not make its debut with hot sunny days but this is not Calgary or Canmore near Banff.
With that said, the water runs in many fields look very similar to the spring runoff creeks and the low spots in fields have become sanctuaries for ducks and waterfowl. What a winter and what a spring so far!
Congratulations go to Sharon Elaine Hildebrand, daughter of Marlene and the late John Hildbrand. She convocated from the University of Saskatchewan June 4 with a Bachelor of Arts, Honours in Archaelogy.
Congratulations go to Mary Kennedy of the Mullingar district on her 80th birthday. Her family hosted a supper and party June 22 in the Rabbit Lake Hall.
Art Penner has moved to Bethany Manor in Saskatoon and we all wish him well as he settles into his new home.
Get well wishes go out to Mary Clarkson, James Hanson, Robert Turgeon and Gordon Sherman. We hope you are soon feeling better and back home.
Twenty people enjoyed a good supper at the Rabbit Lake Senior Sunrise Circle at its monthly potluck feast. If you have never attended one of these suppers, bring a dish of food and $5 and you will go home very satisfied.
The community sends its condolences to Lucy Bjerkness and to the family of the late Craig Marsh of Sandwith.
If anyone is looking for something to do July 3, the Rabbit Lake and District Agricultural Association would appreciate help in raising the tent at the jamboree ground. It is expected the job will begin at 2:30 pm. A barbecue supper for the volunteers will follow.
The Rabbit Lake and District Museum committee held an afternoon of gospel music following a noon picnic. Due the wet weather it was moved to the seniors' hall but nonetheless a good time was had by all who attended.
I have not heard a recent fishing report from Meeting Lake but I do know there is a lot more water for the fish to play in. The lake was very high from the spring runoff and now with a rainfall in the neighbourhood of seven inches this month, it has risen again. No cabins are in danger but most lakefront properties are a lot more lake than they were before.
