Hope that everyone had a good week. Monday the weather was nice. I was outside a lot. I put some more dirt on my flowers. David and Melissa helped Larry move some gates so Larry could feed his cows down by the road. Thanks guys. David plowed my garden.

Hello and happy spring. Hope you’re having a great week. Schools are out for spring break. I know there are some happy kids. Our granddaughter Ally has been in a few days enjoying some time off from law school. Corey, Kelsey Treadwell and boys took to the beach for their break. I know the boys had a blast at the beach. Brenda Fendley, Tara, Grace, Grant Warren, Berkeley Parks and Bryce, Tiffany Williams and kids enjoyed a day at the Aquatic Center in Russellville.

March 20 It sure seems like this week has been a roller coaster week. Warm, cold, warm, cold oh wait, let’s add some rain! Maybe real spring will get here soon. The calendar says the 19th is the first day of spring, but it was still chilly on the 19th.
