Last Sunday we had quite a storm here in Ladysmith around 5 pm. It was almost like a hurricane for a few minutes. We were without power here until Monday morning around 6 a.m., just in time to have my first cup of coffee.

Last Thursday, Allison Corrigan was moved from the Hull Hospital to the Shawville Hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Last Wednesday, I did get to Rankin to start some gardening. When I started planting I realized how bad my hip is. I can barely do anything in the garden. My niece Shelley helped and also friends who were there doing some gardening as well. Cora and Ken Matacheskie were very kind to help me finish some planting.
