Milestone birthdays are being celebrated in our rural area.
Twin siblings Geraldine Mutz and Gerald Nugent turned 60 on April 20. A surprise birthday party was held at the Flint House to honour this occasion. Family attended and many memories were shared and new meaningful memories were made.
Also celebrating special milestone birthdays are mother and daughter, Linda Empey and PJ (Pietje) Van Vliet. PJ turns 90 on April 27 and Linda turns 60 on April 29. I’m sure these two ladies will be honoured by their caring family and friends as they celebrate their special birthdays.
A happy 65th birthday to Solly Santiago on April 26. May you enjoy your day and wishing you many more birthdays.
Our community sends all of those celebrating a very happy birthday and may you share many more in the upcoming years.
Sincere sympathy to the Stang families in the passing of Marjorie. Also sympathy and caring thoughts to Marjorie’s many friends. May you know your communities have you in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Two old guys were pushing carts around a grocery store when they collided. The first guy says to the second guy, “Sorry about that. I’m looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.” The second guy says, “That’s OK. It’s a coincidence. I’m looking for my wife too, and well, I can’t find her and I’m getting a little desperate.” The first guy says, “Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?” The second guy says, “Well, she is tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, and beautiful. What does your wife look like?” To which the first guy says, “Nevermind; let’s look for yours.”
