Have been having some pretty nice weather for a few days.  The weekend wasn’t too bad.  We did have some heavy rain at times, but it was sunny, warm and 52 degrees.  From what I heard, we’re in for some stormy weather during the week, with a lot of cold coming.  Guess we have to expect that.  After all………….it is winter…………..as I was told.  I would take the nice weather from now until April and then warm up for the summer.  Don’t think that will happen, but I can dream.   The McDonald’s saw a rainbow on Sunday.  Was pretty neat from the pictures I saw, but I missed this one.  On Sunday afternoon the creek looked pretty high and was rumbling along really fast.

Hope everyone is well and not bothered with flu bugs and colds.

Congratulations to Chloe Shea for being selected Student of the Month.  Keep up the good work.

Don’t really have a lot of news to report right now.  Not a lot going on here in Lopez, but I know elsewhere there were “doings” to attend.

Thanks to Brian McGuire for taking the Christmas display back to the Pavilion for the winter.  Job well done.  Also, to Kaeleigh and Kyleigh McDonald who helped with the cords and flowers.

Remember, NO Civic meeting for the month of January.

HINT:  “Vinegar (1/3 cup) works real well as a rinsing agent in your dishwasher.  Simply add it to the wash with your regular dishwasher detergent.  It can help with cloudy glassware.”   (Can’t try this; I still do dishes the old fashioned way.)

From Mr. Neubauer’s little brown book:   “Cold, light snow and MINUS 2 degrees.”   Guess I’ll take our weather over that any day.

Guess that’s the news for now.  Enjoy your week; even if it is cold, it’s good to get out and get the fresh air.  Maybe some snow on the way, but early yet to tell.  We’ll know when we go outside or look out the window and see the white stuff.  Have news, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I’ll get it in for you.  Thanks for reading; I’ll be here next time.

YEP……………….We finally got some snow, yuck!
