On Monday there is still no snow in the Pontiac and that’s a good thing because the ground is not . . .

even frozen yet. Everyone is scrambling to put their winter tires on at the last minute before they get caught in that snowstorm. 

Now is a good time to start putting up our Christmas decorations before the snow starts. So, the next big event will be Christmas. Everyone is going to be busy from now on getting presents and preparing their homes.

I’m working on cleaning my basement and getting rid of a bunch of junk that I’ve collected over the years. 

It’s always fun going through things you haven’t seen for a long time and finding stuff that you haven’t been able to find because you have so much stuff. 

You know what I mean. We hate to throw away things because we know as soon as we do we’re gonna need it. Murphy’s Law. 

But on the other hand it feels good to get everything clean and organized.

On Saturday, my cousin Cheryl Mayhew and her boyfriend Denis came to the Pontiac to look at some venues for their wedding which is planned for next October. 

They stopped in for lunch and I had a great visit with them. They said they came out to the Pontiac to get married because it was so expensive in the city. 

We have so much to offer in the Pontiac and it’s still a very well-kept secret. I referred them to a few places that I knew of and they decided to look into the different venues in our area.

I would like to send out birthday wishes to Scott Bertrand, Trent Neumann and Patrick McCrank on Nov. 13, Elaine Pilon and Ashley Corriveau on Nov. 14, Kelly Hearty, Marie Castonguay, Kerrie Hearty, Denis Dubeau and Hal Crawford on Nov. 17, Perry Belanger on Nov. 18 and Ayden Beauregard, on Nov. 19.
