A cheery hello to all of those who are suffering from the flu, colds and to the shut-ins.
Well, the Christmas holidays are over, the decorations and lights are being taken down and stored away in bins and bags where they will reside in dusty corners until next year. As every day life resets its rhythm of familiar events, the children in the Pontiac headed back to school on Tuesday. We hope that they enjoyed themselves and are well rested to tackle another semester.
