We were so sad to hear of the death of a sweet young lady, Tammy Vanatta. We will always remember her with a smile and positive attitude. Our family sends sympathy to her friends and family. She will be missed.
The weather has been interesting this past week. We depend on our care-givers making it to our house each day, so it is always a concern when we hear ice or snow forecasted. The snow was beautiful falling, and we still enjoy the occasional blanket of white. I hope everyone stayed safe. We are sure the children and teachers enjoyed their days off with their families.
WJLE had their Radio Shopper last week. It was sure fun to listen to. We believe the community really enjoys this annual event. Thank you to everyone that sent products for the community to bid on and special thanks to Dwayne Page and Dale Carroll for putting their original spin on the sales. It is always interesting to listen to.

Get-well wishes goes to Gail Thompson. We are missing her daily visits to our house. Gail is a wonderful hard working lady.
