By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. The holidays are over. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed them. Everything will be back to normal again for a while. The weather has had its ups and downs lately; temperatures are good, but it does create some problems with rain now and then on the roads.

Monday morning started with exercises, followed by phase ten card games. Monday afternoon was bingo. Happy Birthday to Gordon Haag and Greg Mendoza on January 4th. Happy Birthday to Don Bamber on January 6th.

On Tuesday, Dianne was away, so there were no activities. Tuesday afternoon, Taylor Neilson played piano.

Wednesday morning, there was a crossword and the regular bus run downtown. In the afternoon, there were shuffleboard games, followed by a Resident Council meeting.

Happy birthday to Ralph Jorgenson on January 8th.

Thursday morning was one on one baking. ATB Financial was at the Lodge from 10-11:00 a.m. Thursday afternoon, the residents helped take down the Christmas trees and decorations, then enjoyed warm beverages and socializing.

Friday afternoon was card bingo—Happy Birthday to Lyla Rutherford and Rita Anderson on January 10th.
