Whitewater News for December 25, 2017

Well like most Democrats I am boycotting Trump’s Inauguration by not watching it on TV. It is sad that if it wasn’t for the Russians “hacking” the DIV computers, Hillary Clinton would be the first woman President of the USA. Anyway congratulations to Hillary for your life’s career in helping people, life goes on. Hillary you got the popular vote anyway.

There was a great party at the North 40 for Patty Young’s retirement and birthday. There was a good crowd and lots of food and cake. Nice party.

Welcome Ms. Bond who is in Whitewater working on the “Swift Fox” project.

There was a Baby Shower at the North 40 recently. Fun I heard.

It was 25 below zero two days ago. Now it is 40 above! This is Montana.

“Get Well” to all who are sick with colds and flu (including me). I’m better. When I was a kid I got a sore throat a lot. There was an “old wives remedy”, Mom had us use. Believe it or not the remedy was to put a warm cloth around your throat and neck, but first line the cloth with a strip of salt pork (raw)! It was supposed to draw the soreness out. But it felt terrible; cold and slimy. Maybe it helped but we kids decided that the meat would have done more good if it was cooked and we could have eaten it. Whatever.

Take care, Helen Austin
