The past week and on the weekend, we received a significant amount of snow. We hope that everyone weathered it safely. Hats off to our snow plow operators, who work tirelessly to clean our roads and highways.

Influenza and respiratory viruses are at their peak right now. Several people have been down with the viruses. We hope that you are on the mend real soon.

Birthday wishes and love is wished to my sister-law- Gail Perry, who is celebrating her birthday on Feb. 20 and to my dear friend Betty Grieve, who is celebrating her birthday on Feb. 22.

Have a good week everyone and stay safe.
