MAYFAIR — This winter will most certainly be remembered as a challenging one. The school buses have been forced not to be in operation for more days than one can remember, thus bringing challenges for school staff, parents and students. March is fast approaching and the old saying is if March comes in like a lion it will go out as a lamb. Again those predictions are quite comical and many times are true! Icy roads are even hard for the graders to scrape but the operators try do their best to make driving a little less dangerous.
Shrove Tuesday for many Christians is a way to gather for a feast of pancakes and sausages. Rabbit Lake Hall Board is sponsoring a supper on Tuesday, March 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the community hall. Admission is $7. Also for card enthusiasts, the Rabbit Lake Library is having a Kaiser tournament on March 18 starting at 7 p.m. sharp in the hall. Admission is $10.
There have been reports of missing dogs in the Rural Municipality of Round Hill recently. These animals will travel for miles but when it’s very cold will hunker down in straw bales etc. and nearby strangers' yards. Please don’t scare them away with a gunshot as dogs usually don’t do well with loud noises. Be sensible and compassionate because they are somebody’s lost and lonely pets. We all like to see pets get reconnected to the owners. Call your neighbours, take a picture and if possible post it on Facebook. FB does have some positivity now and again!
In almost every Seniors RV trailer park in Yuma, Ariz., the interested and talented quilters meet at least two times a week. One gentleman in our park is an excellent seamstress and quilter to the astonishment of other guys! This individual gets to have the ladies all to himself in the craft hall. Usually at the end of the season there is a gigantic sale of art, table runners, handbags and, of course, quilts. With our Canadian dollar lower than the American currency, it’s wise for me to purchase in Canada. Get what I mean? Some snowbirds always spend, at times beyond their means, and suffer the consequences later.
