It was great to see Maddyson Bastian graduated at the top of her class in cosmetology at Northern Tier Career Center in Towanda.
Prayers and best wishes to Carrie Salada who is recovering from surgery.
Tyler Rennicks is home from spending a week with his brother, Jeremy in Maryland. He went to see Washington, DC and part of the Smithsonian Museum which enthralled him. Jeremy works at a company that makes video games. He took Tyler to work with him and Tyler thought he was in heaven. He got to play a couple of games that aren't yet on the market. He's still on cloud nine.
There's been a number of break-ins around town the last couple of weeks. Be sure to lock your home, garage, and automobiles.
Gosh, it doesn't seem like it's the first of September and the kids are going back to school already. They just got out yesterday. They say the older you get, the faster time flies.

Jennifer Jones and Lori Knowlden held a popsicle give-away for all kids in the community for the Methodist Church, last Thursday. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
John Frey is ill. We're sure he would enjoy a card shower. His address is RR #1, Box 1680, Canton, PA 17724.
