Vancrest residents heard "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" sung by numerous choirs and carolers this month. In fact, on Wednesday evening carolers from the Ada First Baptist Church (pictured) walked the hallways singing carols. At the same time, members from the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Jenera were adding their voices in song in another area of the facility. The photo of St. Paul singers is next.

Just checking Ada weather about 11 p.m. last night and found I'd rather live here than in Ada, Minn.

Our temp was 28 degrees while Ada, Minn., folks were reeling with a temp of 13 degrees and facing a winter storm warning.

Adak (they spell it wrong) Alaska, was warmer than here, 35 compared to 28.

And, there is an Adah, Pa., but they spell it wrong, too

There is also an Ada in Kansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and West Virginia.
