The Shearer family gathered Friday for their Christmas celebration. Lee and Mary Sue hosted the gathering of the Davis family (minus Gwyn, working), Krippner family including Alex from Texas, Sandoval family, Seranno family and Jeff Shearer family. Leslie Chitwood and Chris Smith prepped the dinner, served and cleaned. We were so lucky to have them. Thanks!

The Postal Service has had problems with mail theft from boxes on the road. The mail lady on our route told of a person following the mail truck to retrieve packages after she delivered them. The Sheriff was not in the area. This is an ongoing problem (our rent check was not received). Please keep an eye out for suspicious happenings and report them. Mail was found dumped on Willms Road. Do not leave mail in your box overnight.
