Borden Parks and Recreation Board held a bingo in Borden School gym on a blustery Jan. 12 evening, with about 30 out to play 20 games of bingo. Donated prizes were won by those attending and the cash 50/50 of $36.50 went to Lottie Petriew.

Dean and Heidi Phipps of Marshall lost everything, including their dog, in a fire Jan 11. Heidi is the daughter of Denise Nichol from the Borden Art and Eatery. Dean and Heidi were married last summer and had a new RTM home at Marshall.

Our best wishes to Vic Hult, who recently underwent surgery on both his knees. He is getting around well already. Our best wishes, also, to Jack Cardiff, who is celebrating a special birthday this month.

Tillie Burt took Theresa Kennedy to Lloydminster Friday for a medical appointment. They did some shopping, too. I am glad to report the Bertrands are feeling better and doing well.

It's 5:30 in the morning and, while I'm still in bed thinking about how much I hate Mondays, the snowplows are already out and about, clearing the highways.

It is hard to believe that we are already over half way through January.

The snow has piled up during the past week with some falling each day. Fortunately, up until now, we have not had much wind, but the forecast says that is about to change. Perhaps we will be looking forward to blown in paths and roads.

We have once again been enjoying a few days of mild weather, with cold weather due towards the end of the week. Driving carefully is the order of the day, since the warmer days and colder nights bring icy roads.
