We met a nice couple while having breakfast in town. Jim and Michelle Soules who live in Markland and were really pleasant to talk to. I don’t know how long they have been here but welcome to the community. They live near the old store that Maggie Vanosdol used to have when I was a kid and we would walk to the store about 2 miles and always went ahead and walked across the old Markland bridge that our parents told us to stay off of. The bridge is gone now so Markland is divided and don’t have much traffic like they used to and when they had 3 stores progress.
