WEATHER
We are getting desperate for some snow. We need the moisture. It is hard to believe that we are at the end of January and have had only a bit of the white stuff in October.

I have often said “do not complain unless you have a solution.” But what can you do about the weather? So, complain away and see what it gets you? Now that most of the historical events are over, there isn’t much to talk about. Actually, I do not see anyone to do any talking. I still am not out and about and all I do is watch Hallmark movies. I do listen to Talking Books and that is the best thing in my life. I enjoy listening to someone reading a book. Thanks to those wonderful people in Helena who volunteer their time to record and keep the records of who has which book. 

I can’t say enough about volunteers. There just aren’t enough kind words to say about them. I had Karyn over this past week to pick up some recycling and she brought two young men to help her. They ended up by helping me put away my Christmas decorations. What a huge help that was. I love Fort Benton and all the people that live here. They are a great example for not being divided. They are so willing to help but you have to ask. Just do it!

BASKETBALL
Because I am unable to go to the games live, I am very happy that the Coaches are giving me the story in the River Press. The fact is that I want to thank all those who write a report about their organization. I would like to hear more about school activities. I think I heard that there is a class and one of those writers could keep us up on what does on at the school. GO LONGHORNS!                               

VACCINE
Have you signed up for your shot? Those Nurses at the Health Department are busy little bees these days. I think they are Angels among us. 

THAT’S ALL FOR THIS WEEK
It is difficult to write when there is nothing to write about. Help me out Folks. You must have some cute stories about your children or grandchildren. I know you liked the story about Bethany’s Shelby, because I got many calls about how cute it was. So, let me hear from you with any kind of news. I’m in the book.

BE KIND AND UNDERSTANDING (TO YOURSELF TOO.

DO A SIMPLE GOOD DEED EVERY DAY.

PLEASE WEAR YOUR MASK, WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN, AND STAY 6 FT. FROM OTHERS.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR TROOPS, POLICE OFFFICERS, FIREMEN AND WOMEN, FIRE FIGHTERS, EMT’S AND ALL THOSE FRONT LINE WORKERS AGAINST THE COVID.
