Well, I took a week off so I will see what I can come up with.
Elections are all over and everyone knows all the results from that so we don’t need to go there.
Congratulations to all returning mayors and councillors and congratulations to all the new ones. Now the hard part starts. Filling all those election campaign promises like all the new stuff, activities, shopping local and everything else.
We had a small taste of winter and I don’t know about the rest of you but I sure did not like it at all.
We want to continue sending our best wishes to David Brown who is continuing his battle. He had another set of treatments in Montreal.
I had a special request to send out congratulations to Blake Sloan on killing his moose this year with the good guiding of his brother Brian. The wishes are sent to him from the gangs at Esher Lake and Dufault Lake camps.
Things are moving along rapidly at Langford’s so that is good. The only problem is there is the parking on both sides of the street that is causing problems.
Well, it looks like Christmas in lots of places and one of them is my shop. We have everything out and it looks good, to me anyway, so I hope a lot of people will check it out. We will be open 17 years on Dec. 1 so that is always a special day throughout the store.
The Christmas parade is on Dec. 2 and we always take advantage of that day as well to do something special.
I hope a lot of people respected Remembrance Day. There were a lot of ceremonies in a lot of communities. I saw Mr. Raymond Durocher and his wife on Saturday. They had attended the ceremonies in Shawville and then they were heading over to Portage du Fort for another. He had probably made the commitment before the election and although he lost his position he chose to attend. Very gentlemanly of him.
I don’t have anything else and I do wish if any of you had news to share, you would let me know.
My sympathies to the family of Mrs. Ella Dale who passed away last week, she was such a nice lady and I had known her my whole life.
We wish everyone celebrating a happy birthday and a happy anniversary if you are so lucky and to all we wish good health.
