It’s almost like Spring weather, and very unusual for this time of year. Last year on Feb. 2 the weatherman reported we had a huge snow storm with 10 to 12 inches of snow. It depends on which ground hog you watched, because all but the famous Phil predicted an early Spring.

We attended the funeral of Bob Schockman who died in January. Bernie knew Bob’s family since the 1960’s and we often talked with him when he was a Probation Officer here in Monroe.

We had our flu shots, but we each had a touch of the recent cold going around. I had to get drops for my infected ears.

The Mary Kay business has picked up considerably the last few weeks, and it keeps me busy doing meetings, facials, and delivering products.

And, of course, our German Shepherd, Szimbo has a bad case of "Cabin Fever" if he misses a day of training, so he pesters me until I take him our and exercise him.

Greg Mominee in the U.P. called and said the snow drifts are only up to his waist. But, he is making plans to visit some of his K9 buddies down this way in the next month or so.

I finally got the right telephone number for George Jondro. It was recommended at our January Breakfast meeting that we invite George to come over and talk to us at the Feb. 13th meeting.

We happened to see OP Parker in Meijers and he was a wealth of information about what’s been happening. He will soon be a Grandfather. Imagine that! MAF
