WOW!!   As I sit her typing my news on Sunday afternoon, it is 19 degrees, the wind is whipping like crazy, the sun is shining, but it’s BITTER cold out.   Had some snow turn to rain during the week and it melted the snow we had.  Winter is sure upon us.  Supposed to be a cold week, with temperatures in the teens for night time lows.   From looking at the reports on Buffalo, I can’t imagine what they are going through there.  Saw pictures on Face Book and you could hardly see the trucks trying to keep ahead.  It’s wicked up there, so we are lucky so far.  And, we haven’t lost power like some areas did.  Mother Nature can quit any time and give us some nicer weather.

As Gordon Papke used to say, “Spring is just around the corner.”  Haven’t found that corner yet.

Not too much news to report.   Don’t see too many people out and about but do see Jerry often when we both are going for the mail.  Always have a nice visit with him.

Happy Birthday to Irene (Huray) Pequignot, 22nd; and Mike Stavisky down there in FL, 24th.  Have a good day.

Happy Anniversary to Alex and Ginny Stavisky, 22nd; and Al and Jeannie Kapler, 23rd.  Have a fantastic day.

A good way to soothe sore muscles, cramps, bruises and joint pain is to soak in an Epsom salt bath.  Also great for an after workout soak.  Add 2 cups of salts to a warm bath.  Mix the salt so it dissolves in the water and soak 10-15 minutes.  Nice way to relax and relieve stress.

There are still some things going on around the area, so keep an eye on the Sully and Face Book to see what you may be interested in. 

The Che-Hanna Mineral Club show will be coming up in March, so watch for details in the Sully and Face Book on that.  Will be the 54th annual show.  Good time for everyone.

That’s it.  Enjoy your week.  If you have news you’d like in the paper, call me at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.  I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.  Stay warm.  Stay safe out there.
