South Woodstock

SOUTH WOODSTOCK — Good morning dear readers. it's going to be another great day, temperature is 68 degrees and partly sunny.

Condolences are going out to the families of Maude Alice Hadley, Elwood (Bug) Wing, Charles L. Millett and Nancy I. Breton. Thoughts and prayers to each family member.

Our son Craig and grandson Spencer and Craig's fiance' April joined us for supper Thursday evening. It's always nice having them join us for a meal and some quality time together.

Special thanks to Vickie (Mack) Hill for giving me a ride home from the church yesterday, the yard was blocked off by double parked cars with no access out of the parking lot and no room to get back out onto the roadway.

It's good thing a fire truck or ambulance didn't have to get into the church yard for any emergency. Yogi and Craig went to retrieve my car after they got home from work.

Off to Portland in the morning to get new frames for my glasses. The frames I have now have been discontinued, so I got to find something new.
