Last Friday morning, Ann and Gilles Villeneuve of Aylmer, Que. had the misfortune of their house catching on fire and almost burning down. There is a lot of smoke and water damage.
Luckily no one was hurt. This is always a bad time of year, in the winter and just before Christmas.
I had another setback last week. I took a terrible nosebleed and spent a day in the hospital.
They had to pack my nose for two days and take me off the blood thinners I was on.
I guess winter is here now with the colder temperatures and more snow. The lake here is completely frozen over.
My sister Beulah Grife has been here a week now with us and is going back today. She is coming back again for another week between Christmas and New Year’s.
The cards and darts in Otter Lake are stopping for two weeks over the holidays. The last day is Dec. 21 until Jan. 9.
There are reports of sightings of wolves and coyotes in our area. Gerald and Winnifred Mielke had four coyotes in their field. One night here at my place, I heard wolves howling up in my bush.
Happy birthday to Elsie Sparrow on Dec. 15, to Kathleen Ranger on Dec. 16 and to Grace Woods on Dec. 19.
Happy anniversary to Elda and Dorval Wickens on Dec. 15, to Ashley and Greg Atkinson on Dec. 18 and to Joyce and Ron Walsh on Dec. 19.
