Doug Morley has returned from a 2 week vacation at Donna, Texas. He visited at South Padre Island, Kingsville, and Corpus Christi with family and friends. He came home to coffee row with real estate pamphlets and a few vehicle ads to share with everyone. Their real estate market is depressed compared to ours but the property taxes were still right up there! It all made for good conversation and coffee row was over before we knew it.

Sharon Clark was in Selkirk, MB on the weekend of March 19 to visit with her sister, Velma and Ernie Perkins and help Velma celebrate her 65th birthday. They did some sightseeing around Winnipeg including the Paddlewheel historic site. Sharon enjoyed the history, but was not so happy with the gas station billboards advertising gas for 6 cents less a litre than we pay here in Sask. Joan Wilson chauffeured Sharon to and from the bus at Whitewood - luckily in between the snow and icy highways that have been plaguing us lately.
Marv Horachek, the mayor of our little village, had a birthday celebration at coffee row on Tues., Mar 22 when he treated 18 people to coffee and his favorite cake - Puffed Wheat!

The monthly community birthday party started with an afternoon of visiting and cards. As more hungry souls showed up, Audrey Nielsen and Leona Kaczur served up waffles and sausages for a "shrove Tuesday" supper on a "Wednesday" evening, March 23.

Approximately 20 persons thoroughly enjoyed supper including Marv Horachek, Sharon Clark, Nina Moller, Mary Nagy, Joe Kaczur and Ron McAlpine who are all March "babies". Here's wishing you all good health and happiness in the year ahead.
