       Well, did we have some snow or what!!!  Kids had another two days off to play.  Wind was pretty wicked over the weekend.  Monday morning it is still blowing, but the sun is out and it's 35 degrees.  I'll take that.  The weekend is supposed to be pretty nice, the last I heard.  Maybe Spring really is on the way.  Someone sent me an e-mail with a website to check out about weather.  It said that on Sunday, the 7th, we are to get 40 inches of snow.  Sure hope that's a mistake.  Maybe it was supposed to be 4 and they hit the other key by accident.   Haven't heard that from the news reports................yet.
        Not too much news to report.  I know the snowmobilers were out and about over the weekend as you could hear them running around.  Was a good snow for that.  Just saw lots of folks out shoveling, snow blowing,  and plowing their mass of snow.  Was good for a snowman too.
        Some birthdays are coming up.  Happy Birthday to Lynn Spence, 7th; my special neighbor, Katherine Matychak, 8th; Janelle Day, 9th; John Harvey and Ruby Malkemes (2), both the 10th; Monte Gulich, 11th; and Bob McGuire, Sr., 13th.  Hope you all have a nice day.
        Tip of the week:  Heinz vinegar to heal bruises..................soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour.  The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds the healing process.

         Bob just approved the mug for 2010 and production will began shortly.  The

extra mugs that were ordered for 5 past years are getting to the folks that had them on back order and there will only be a few left.  You can check and see if one you need is available.
        I know there were probably others in over the weekend, but I didn't see them or hear from them.  Anyway, hope everyone had a good time while they were here.  Guess that's it for this time.  Enjoy your week; I'm sure it's going to be good.  Have news, call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I'll get it in for you.  I'll be here next time and thanks for reading.

        As I'm writing this on Monday morning, the weather seems to be quite nice.  I don't look forward to the snow, sleet and ice later in the day.  Maybe we'll just get the snow.  I think everyone is really hoping for Spring.  That would work for me.  Another storm may be coming by the weekend.
        Tony Sneidar and friends, Rich Berry, Bill Barilli, "Papa" John Glasson, Lee Williams and Gary Schafer, all from the Philly area, spent Thursday to Sunday at the Sneidar home on Church Street.  On Friday, the gang left for Clarion and the Double Boar Ranch where they were to do some boar hunting on Saturday.  They all got something.  Was a first time kill for Bill and Rich.  Bill got his first boar with his revolver and Rich shot him at 80 yards with his rifle.  They came back to Lopez late Saturday and left town for home on Sunday.  Had a really good time hunting.  I'll see some pictures later when he gets them downloaded.
        Not too much going on right now, so not much to report.  I know some folks are looking at their gardening catalogs and trying to decide what they want to plant this year.   Won't be long and that will be happening.
        Some birthday wishes to send out.  Happy Birthday to Mcguire Martin and Anthony Sneidar III who both celebrate on March 1st; and Keensley Vinetelli has a birthday on the 5th.  Hope you all have a good day.
        Tip of the week:  Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer..............if menacing bees, wasps, hornets or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409.  Insects drop to the ground instantly.  Good one to try this summer when they seem to be much more prevalent.
        I guess that's about it from here.  Enjoy your week, whatever your plans.  If it's nice, get out and about....before the storm hits.  Have news call me at 928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at uvbob@epix.net.  I'll put it in for you.  I'll be here next time and thanks for reading.
