Enjoy the sunshine, freshly-fallen snow and the meeting of neighbours, family and friends for the next few days.
Come on out and embrace winter and chase away those February Blues. There are lots of things to do this weekend in the area. The Ripley Winter Carnival on this weekend, and Family Day Monday with the Huron Shores Lions Club providing hot dogs and hot chocolate at the Point Clarke skating rink. And, of course, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone on Saturday.
Congratulations to the ladies of the Knox Presbyterian Church for a very successful Valentine's coffee break, Monday, Feb. 9.
Hope the weather is good for all the Shrove Tuesday Pancake suppers.
Sympathy is being sent out from the community to the family of Winnie Dahmer from this area, and to the family of Dale Haldenby of Westford.
We are hoping all who have had surgery recently will heal quickly and be well and home soon.
Mary Anne Kukoly enjoyed visiting recently with Marlene and Gayle Haldenby; Jane Heron and Bob Emerson and with sisters, Frances Kingston of Chesley and Elizabeth Nicholson.
Ladies - here's a reminder and an invite to join the Purple Grove Women's Institute for our next meeting and please note the time has changed to 1 pm, to be held at the home of Mary Anne Kukoly in Ripley, March 4. This meeting is the Birds's Eye View, all about Hummingbirds, and if you wish to join us, roll call is a Fact about Hummingbirds.
Lastly, has anyone seen our Snowy Owls around? We were lucky enough to see one land on top of our TV antenna on the Southline, gorgeous birds to be sure. Sparrow Hawks are on the hunt as well - we noticed one on the prowl just outside our window in the tree, watching the bird feeders for some prey. Interesting to watch them at work and they are are nice hawks for the bird-watching enthusiasts.
