IS IT REALLY WINTER 2024?

Hello 
Is it really Winter 2024?
It is already mid-February!
 
Are you still waiting for winter to begin or actually loving the weather we are having?
 
If you are in the Atlantic provinces, I bet winter can be over any time soon!
It's a record breaking year in the Ottawa area!
A little bit of weather trivia...
 
Did you know Ottawa and area so far have set a record?
 
It is the first time in history, the temperature has not dipped to -20 or below!
 
Just craziness!  
 
I reached out to our MOB VIP, Maureen, in Stittsville, who mentioned the ground had a light dusting from the last snowfall, where normally at this time of year, it would be halfway up the fence.
 
At my request she sent a beautiful picture of herself decked out in her MOB Wear enjoying a sunny winter day 2024.
 
 Thank you so much Maureen!  
"Colour of the Year 2024"  
   Spring/Summer...it is fast approaching!
 
"Peach Fuzz" is the #1 colour for 2024.
 
 We recently whipped a run of Women's Cowl and Hooded Tunics in this featured colour! 
 
It's the perfect time of year to purchase. 
The weather is ideal and the price is right!

A message from the MOB BOSS...
I would like to take a moment and send best wishes to everyone this new year 2024.
 
Late 2023, a couple of our longtime MOB VIPS passed away. I must take a moment and mention both of them.
 
Ann Elizabeth Carson, a summer resident of Manitoulin Island for many years, was a woman full of spunk. 
She was a well-known writer, poet, artist, and women's activist. 
 
Each year, I looked forward to her visits. I stayed in touch with her through the off-season months. I am missing those conversations this early 2024 year.
 
In 2022, Jenn interviewed her for our Women's Day Newsletter.
Have a read, an amazing woman.
 
 
Then, not long after, Mr. Gary Trimmer, of Little Current left us as well. What a gentleman he was.
 
He popped in every few months to choose something for family members or for himself. He loved the colour green.
 
Always up for a conversation...about cars or local history. Or antics he used to get up to. I will miss his kind smile and twinkling eyes.
 
  I am so fortunate to have known you both, may you RIP.
 
Your suggestions and feedback are always welcome and appreciated! 
 
If you would like to send me your comments (or just say hello) about this 1st MOB Talk Newsletter of 2024, I would love to read your feedback!
 
I will also enter your name in a draw for a chance to win a $30.00 gift certificate, just to say thank you!
