As I sit and type my news early Monday morning, the sun is shining and it’s warm already.  Nice.  I’ll take it.  We did have a couple of days during the week of frost; had some nice, sunny days, and had a short thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon.  Looks like Spring may finally be with us.  Will now start to see the flowers and hanging baskets out in the nicer weather.  Haven’t seen a humming bird yet, but hear they are out and about too.  Lots of yard work done over the weekend.  Check Sam’s weather report for Lopez in another section.

Congratulations to Kaeleigh McDonald for Distinguished Honor Roll.  Ruby Malkemes and Bruno Day were Honor Roll recipients for this marking period.   Good job, all!.

Any lucky turkey hunters out there?  Haven’t heard of any for this area. 

With the nicer weather, I see more families coming to their homes and cabins.  Getting ready for the really nice weather to come.

Here’s something for you to try when you’re sitting out and want to keep those  pesky flying insects away.  Cut and lemon and a lime in half.  Leave the insides in.  Poke cloves all over them and hopefully this will work.   Probably smell nice too.

Hope everyone is well.  I guess there is still some Covid going around, so do take precautions when out and about.  They say to still wear a mask in public, do the social distancing and wash your hands often.  We think it’s getting better, then it’s on the rise again or another variant seems to be found. 

Keep an eye on the Sully for events and activities that you may be interested in taking place around the County.  You can also check Sullivan County New and Bulletin Board on Face Book.  There are things listed there every now and then.  Hopefully our weather will stay nice for some time now.

Had a nice phone chat with a lady in Virginia who reads the Sully every week and complimented me, and all the news gals, on the good job of keeping everyone informed on what’s going on in Sullivan County.  She was checking to see if I had a birthday wish for someone special in my news.  I told her I did and she’d see it in her next paper.   She has family here in Lopez and visits when she and her husband can come.

Happy Birthday wishes to Marian Hubiak, 19th; Janet Weidner, 33nd, Susan Aharonian, 24th; and Tanya (Stasiak) Nitczniski.  Hope you all have a nice day.

Happy Anniversary to Tim and Bobbi Jo Brown as they celebrate on the 21st.  Have a great day!

Guess that’s the news for now.  Enjoy your day, whatever your plans.  If you have news you’d like in the paper, please let me know by 6 p.m. on Sunday evening by calling 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.
