Whitewater News for the Week of May 13, 2015

Part I

My sympathy to Shirley and George Eklund (longtime friends) on the loss of their son, Tim. Helen Depuydt Sally Austin and I, Helen, went to the funeral. Pastor Bruce Hill of Whitewater preached at the funeral.

The “Woman of Faith” Meetings, in Billings, were well attended by these women from Whitewater: Ree S., Joanne H., Margie O., Jamie and her mom, Nancy LaBrie, Monika Taylor and Linda B. I rode to Billings with Monika, but did not get to the meetings.

Sorry I didn’t go and if I missed any ladies who went, my apologies.

I stayed with Janet, my sister. She went to water aerobics while I sat in the hot pool. Then we went shopping at Kmart and went to lunch with Glenn (Janet’s son.) It was a fun day.

Justin Austin returned to Denver, Colorado, to his family after working at the ranch.

Jeanie Green and Aileen (formerly Hellie) went to Alaska! I have not talked to Jeanie since.

I visited with Pearl Peacher (my longtime friend.) She is always fun.

The road to Malta is under construction by Wickens Construction of Lewistown. They sure have huge machines and are real busy.

Meadowlark birds are here singing. I love them. Go for a walk and enjoy the weather.
