Week of January 26, 2026

Hello everyone, it’s Ronda with the HPV News-

Brr. More chilly, windy weather, but we could have it worse if we lived on the East Coast. Pray for their safety, I saw pictures; it is not good there. So scary.

I hope you are all staying warm, here in ND we seem to push through the cold and survive. We are tuff!

Our sincerest sympathy to the family of Lois Lenz. Lois lived a wonderful and very long life, 104 years old. Just think of all the things that she saw in her lifetime, and the amount of family that she witnessed growing up to adulthood.  May you rest in peace, Lois, you have earned your “angel wings”.

We are still asking your cooperation in not visiting if you have any cold and flu symptoms. I’m happy to say we are pretty healthy here right now and would like to keep it that way. This is for the health or our residents and staff. Many Thanks!

Thanks to all of you who have been coming to Pie and Coffee on Wednesdays and Coffee and Dessert on Sundays.  The residents really enjoy seeing all of you, so keep coming! Britta and Kristen continue to be making some pretty good pies. It’s kind of an adventure as they bring something new each week.

We are fast approaching Lent also which begins Wednesday, February 18th. Easter this year is Sunday, April 5th. Really early this year.

That will about do it for the week as we keep pushing through this cold weather.  As fast as time goes Spring will be here before you know it. But for now, stay safe, warm, and healthy! Have a great week!
