Sunday morning we woke up to a skiff of snow on the ground. Although the temperature did not get above 5 C, the snow soon melted. We missed the heavy snowfall that took place further south and east of us. That snow was falling in the evening, April 25. As April 26 progressed, the sun shone and the temperature rose to 10 C.
The mosquitoes are beginning to appear so it won鈥檛 be long before we are battling them.
Congratulations to Eileen Evans who was among those honoured at a volunteer awards supper and evening held in Maidstone at the Legion Hall April 23. Throughout the years, from the time she was very young, Eileen has devoted a lot of time to working on community projects in this district, in Maidstone and the surrounding areas.
The projects are too numerous to mention but she has used her many talents to support organizations and individuals. Her musical talent has been put to good use at the local church and for many occasions in Waseca, Maidstone and elsewhere. She has worked hard with the committee for Pine Island Suites, establishing it and working with the people who live there. Her decorating and writing talents have brought pleasure to many. I鈥檓 sure she鈥檒l be called upon to keep up the good work.
More winter travellers are arriving back. Bill Pike returned home April 25 from a few months travelling and visiting in a few states in the United Sates and west of the Rockies in Canada. Rene and Terry Pike have also returned home from their travels in the south and visiting with their family in Edmonton.
Gully Gus says, 鈥淟ive every day like it鈥檚 your last and one day you will be right.鈥�
