On April 21 three past employees, Wendy Nelson, Shelly Cowan and Marcia Gervais, took their boss Gail McLachlin out for a retirement supper at the Olive Branch restaurant in Carnduff. Good luck Gail with your future plans and do enjoy your time with family and friends. 

We are on the last week in April and we had a very slight shower. Don’t think it will amount to too much at all. But maybe one can now truthfully say that April showers will bring May flowers. Even if much more rain is needed, it is a slight start.  

Also during this last week in April, the schools in the area are reopening after two weeks of closure, all seems to be okay. Hope everyone has enjoyed their week back at school now and hopefully they can continue attending school to the end of school year. Good luck students and staff, stay safe. 

Happy Birthday greeting are being sent to the following whose birthdays have been in April – Lorraine Ferriss, Jason Junk, Ainsley Cowan, Shelley Germain, Joey Mailhiot, Redmond Demas and Teigan Fuller. Happy birthday folks, hope you have a great day and that you may have many more. 

The men around here are now getting serious about starting their seeding operation. Hubby has been very busy getting the stones picked and out of the way of the seeder, so all should be a go. Others in the area have been out starting their seeding before now too. Wish you all the best of luck with your seeding and hopefully you will have no break-downs or other troubles during this busy planting season.
