Ronda’s Weekly Column

Week of March 9, 2026

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

Well, let’s see, it was cold, it was icy, it warmed up and the water started running and it  was beautiful. It it Spring yet? Oh yea, then the weatherman started talking snow, again. Oh  yeah, it is North Dakota in March. Hopefully, the end to Winter is getting closer.

I am sure you are all aware we have been experiencing some Respiratory illness at HPV.  It’s frustrating, we are masking for now, which no one really cares for but until it is out that is the plan. On the upside we aren’t using the N95 and face shields, just a temporary glitch for now, you can still visit but please mask up. Together we will get through this too.

We are going to be going another week with the Coffee Shop closed. You may want to call ahead to check the status.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day -An Irish Blessing

May the Road rise up to meet you

May the wind always be at your back

May the sunshine warm upon your face

May the rain fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I might add…And may you stay warm and healthy. Have a great week!
