This cold weather will improve by the weekend, but now it will be safer for the fishermen to get out on the lake and enjoy their winter sport, ice fishing.聽
I see Rob has put up the Christmas street lights, and expect he had some help from the 鈥渓ight fairies.鈥� He has the streets in good shape and snow moved聽off, for now.
The wellness clinic held Dec. 9, lasted longer than usual, so must have had a good turnout.

Three of my girls have been home recently and all got to help with the renovation of a quilt I made 23 years ago. It was mostly corduroy pieces from outgrown clothes of my granddaughter. Several pieces were frayed and had to be replaced, as well as the backing and lining batt. I was able to get batting from Vi Cardinal who works at the Community Complex with a few other gals, quilting, one day a week. Then it was a matter of putting it all together. We ended up working at the Do Drop In where we had more space. We didn鈥檛聽quilt it but tied it with strong cording and granny knots. Then, it was a case of delivering to Lloydminster 鈥戔�� an old quilt filled with love and stitches. The recipient was one happy sentimental girl !
On Sunday my daughter Sally was driving from Lloydminster to Meadow Lake and shared her time with me. For an hour we visited by phone. She saw a pair of ptarmigan west of Meadow, a rare sight for sure.聽
The shutdown seems to be in place聽and we have to all do our share to be safe. Have you taken time to phone someone who lives alone and maybe doesn鈥檛 have family nearby? Just a few minutes of your time can mean so much to lonesome folk. The TV will be our contact for church services over the holiday season along with many seasonal movies. We must remember the聽鈥渞eason for the season鈥� and TV and radio will be our contacts to these programs. Those of us who enjoy crafts or puzzles or whatever, to fill our time, are fortunate as it does help to pass the hours. Making Christmas phone calls can start early, and maybe make twice as many as usual. It is cheaper than stamps anyway. So if you are making plans for the holiday, I hope they work out for you.聽
Don鈥檛 be worried about your smartphone聽or TV spying on you, your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.
