It’s so cold that:
We had to stop eating with metal cutlery.
Hitchhikers are holding up pictures of thumbs.
The optometrists are giving away free ice scrapers with every new pair of glasses.
I chipped a tooth on my soup.
You had to bake this newspaper at 350 degrees for 30 minutes before reading it.
The dogs are wearing cats.
There’s a new morning treat, coffee on a stick.
Mice are asking cats for a snuggle.
Kids are using a new excuse to stay up late: “But my pyjamas haven’t thawed out yet!”

The Big Brothers Big Sisters organization does great work here in Okotoks creating and nurturing life-changing mentoring relationships for children and youth facing adversity.
There is significantly less grant funding available in Okotoks this year. Fundraising is always an important portion of the funding for the mentoring programs, but there is an even greater urgency in 2019 due to reduced grant funding.
On March 24, there will be a Rock and Bowl for Kids Sake fundraising event at Millennium Lanes. This event is always so much fun but they need your support to make it a success.
Please call Kate Middleton (not the Duchess of Cambridge but just as lovely) at 403-693-2682 or [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to participate.
