Well, here we go again. There is nothing new and not even anything old to talk about. No one is moving around because it is too cold so I haven’t heard anything.
Apparently this particular Monday of this week is called Blue Monday. That’s when everybody has the January blahs and the Christmas Visa bills are in and people would just love to escape to the south.
It could be much worse, we could have had the weather from the Maritimes, Newfoundland and New Brunswick in particular, so really we are okay.

We don’t even hear snowmobiles going by, so it is quite a different winter. Let’s hope February will permit all the winter sports enthusiasts to get going.
We heard from Cletus and Frances Shea. Their drive down to Florida after Christmas was quite an ordeal. It took four days instead of two due to that blizzard that hit the east coast all the way to northern Florida. The roads were a mess with a lot of them closed down and it was impossible to find accommodations etc., and of course the lack of snow removal equipment the further south you get. But they made it.
I haven’t heard of too many people getting the flu virus but a lot are getting the cold and cough of course. It is best to stay away from the hospital and clinic. That is where the germs are.
My cat is talking again. I don’t know what she had but as suddenly as she lost her voice, it came back. For two months she had to use sign language but now we are back to “meow, meow”. The vet couldn’t figure it out either but it wasn’t free of charge for that diagnosis. But whatever, she is back to normal.
Well, I came up with that much but that is it, except to wish everyone celebrating a happy birthday and or happy anniversary and of course we hope everyone will stay healthy. To those dealing with something, we say get well soon.
