Baby, It's Cold Outside

Good morning! Baby it’s cold outside! Winter is finally showing us what it is all about.

I am ready for spring. Due to the snow and ice, church was cancelled this past Sunday. Hopefully it won’t be this way for the next few months.

We are still a little light on the activity side of life, and for many that is OK. Gives us a chance to slow down and just breathe after the holiday rush.

Today, January 9th, there will be an After School Art Class at Elodie’s Oddities for one hour beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Two days later, there will be a Stained Glass Mushroom project at 1 p.m. for the older crafters.

On Friday, January 10th it will be a regular day of school and there will be varsity boys basketball here at home. The game will start at 6 p.m. vs. Hay Springs.
