Whitewater News and Opinion for March 21, 2018

Get well wishes to Jim Murdock and Phillip Lawless, both of Whitewater.

Sympathy to ranchers feeding and watering livestock during the cold and snowy winter. There is a shortage of hay for some. Here in Whitewater area, huge truckloads of hay go by daily.

Lu Besel went to Colorado on business and to Billings to visit her sister, Annafaye Simms, who was a Whitewater student, years ago.

Linda Berg and family from Canada went to Billings for appointments.

Harry Austin, Jr.’s birthday was March 6 (he is my brother.) Janice Reichelt (his daughter) visited me on Saturday. The radio station played a song for Harry which his family requested. Very nice.

Happy birthday to all March birthdays, including the Siewing twins, Jonathon and Seth. Their birthdays are on two different days, as one was born before midnight and the other after (that is for Ripley’s Believe It or Not.)

Randy and Jamie (North 40) went to Billings on Business.

Congratulations to Whitewater’s Barbara Dunbar for being featured on “Voices of Montana” on the radio (she is the Director of Nurses at the Hi-Line Retirement Center.) Good job, Barb.

Dakota and Mercedes returned from a trip. Mercedes is employed at the Phillips County Hospital and Dakota at the North 40.

Well, there are different ways of looking at our mountains of snow. Justin Austin visited me and said it is a “winter wonderland.” Annie Jefferson visits Whitewater and said the snow sparkles like diamonds. Personally, I wish the snow would melt.
