December 20, 2012


Foot Care Clinic is today at the Max Senior Center on Main Street. Please keep your appointment.

The Community Calendar lists the Max Seniors having their December potluck and meeting on December 28th. This is a mistake as there will not be any December potluck or meeting. There will be a noon potluck and meeting of the Max Senior Citizens on January 25th.

Lorna Sambor and Phyllis Narum spent Sunday afternoon at Lila Fannik's home, celebrating Phyllis's birthday. She even brought her ice cream cake along, which we all enjoyed.

The fog is thick; driving is hazardous; the trees are beautiful; and the power lines were down!! The thick frost causes electrical lines to break or touch, leaving many patrons without power for heat, lights, and running household appliances. If you have not experienced it, consider yourself lucky and blessed! A few years ago the area was out of power for 3 days and the temperatures in the house got down to 40 degrees....wearing stocking caps and covering up with 8 blankets and bedspreads allowed you to sleep.  And sleep you did, because your mind wasn't 'busy' as there was nothing you could do all day to keep you 'busy'. So now you cringe when the lights flicker!!

I'm sure many are taking beautiful pictures of the frost on things....even on fences. Please be sure to have Tamra Huesers enter them in the Max Web-site's photo area. If you haven't looked in there yet, or for a long time, please do so. Tim Hauf has also added pictures, along with Brenda Hauf.

Have a safe and healthy Merry Christmas!
