Our sympathy to the family and friends of Mrs. Aldea Dagenais who passed away last week at the age of 91 years.
Get well to Lee Dubeau of Otter Lake who is in hospital. We wish Lee a speedy recovery.
It sure is nice to have nice weather and to see the snow melting after having most of April feel like winter. It looks like it will be a while before Johnson Lake will be open, I would say at least until after May 1. Our lodge on Belmone Lake is having a work bee on May 5 and I’m hoping the ice will be off in case some of us would like to try our luck at fishing.
The birds are late at arriving this spring. So far I haven’t seen any. Joy Hodgins called to say that she had two robins a couple of weeks ago and so did Essie Schwartz.
The people making maple syrup are saying that the sap is still running and that there is lots of snow in the bush. Once the temperature gets too warm and the bugs start it pretty well finishes the sap from running.
The other day, when I was sitting in the living room we were looking out at the lake and saw what we’re sure was a fisher. It was about the size of a big cat and had a long, bushy tail and it was black in colour.
Get well to Adeline Hobbs who has been in hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery.
My husband Tom is recovering from his fall down the stairs. The scrapes and bruised ribs are healing slowly. My health problem is improving slowly also. I guess it is going to take time to get my strength back.
The Golden Age Club in Otter Lake continues. Cards are Tuesday night at 7 p.m. and darts are Thursday at 7 p.m. There is a potluck dinner on May 8 at 5:30 p.m. for the members and we can bring a guest or two. There will be cards and darts following the supper.
Happy birthday to Elissa Schwartz who celebrated on April 19. It was her 16th birthday. She is the granddaughter of Essie Schwartz and the late Ernie Schwartz of Schwartz, Que.
