We had a sudden change in our
weather from 80 degrees Thursday
to 17 degrees on Friday morning. It
rained off and on all day. Thursday
was dark and dreary so the ground
hog failed to see his shadow in this
area If he does see his shadow on
that date, they say he returns to his
hole for 6 more weeks of winter.
Everything was covered in ice by
11:30 pdn. It started with a very
swift wind, thunder and lightening
and rain and sleet.
Down to 17 degrees on Friday
a.m. and it looked like Winter Won-
derland all around. My home with
it’s large oak trees loaded with ice
bowing almost to the earth, swaying
heavily back and forth. 1 feared
some limbs would break as the ice
was heavy on them.

Vegas, Nev., had been very ill, but
was doing some better. His doctor
had given him permission to return

see his old friends. Emma Jane and
Dick were reared at Alexander. I am

come and sing in the evening.
Tuesday wc did our donuts, sittcr-
cises and finished the day with the
Newcomb band coming in and play-
Tr)g and singing for us. It was sure
good to have them all back with us.
Wednesday morning we had
another good Bible study with the
Church of Christ Father Baker was
unable to be with us in the after-
noon. Thursday we did our sittcr-
cise, sat and talked awhile, and then
had the movie Five Mile Creek
number three. It is a real good scries
of family type movies. Oh yew,
can't have movies with popcorn, so
we had popcorn also.
Wc are so happy that Sherre West
comes each month and does facials
for our women who have birthdays
each month. These are Mary Kay
facials and they enjoy them. It
makes them feel and look so pretty.
The lady that docs my big
monthly calendars, Lynn Prado, had
surgery two or three weeks ago and
I am happy to report she is doing
better slowly but surely.
Friday we had our regular time of
siuercise, and I must report my class
is growing, as they say, they feel
like it really helps them. Then I al-
way have a good group out to play
bingo.
We had a good turnout of both the
volunteers and residents at Sing-A-
Long on Friday afternoon. It was
good to see so many of the
volunteers back after either being
sick or having to deal with bad
roads.
Sunday mornings they continue
to enjoy the music and Sunday
school they have.
