Hello from Florence. I believe summer is finally here. It was really hot for the yard sales but there was a lot of people out and many yard sales. It was good to see that many people in Vevay.
I had a really good visit with classmate Lona White Mathews from Florida. She was in for the funeral of her brother Ernie McKenzie. We also had a good visit with the rest of the family at the visitation. Ernie was a good friend to everyone and he will be missed. Sympathy to the family.
Peggy Sullivan of Austin is recovering from a fall. She had broken ribs and a broken wrist that needed surgery. Peggy spent a couple of days with Brenda Peelman and they went to the funeral of Wayne Ashcraft at Rising Sun. Our sympathy to Suzie and all the family.
Jill and Neal Smith’s little girl, Jade was visiting grandparents Ed and Debbie Gregory and I visited with Ed and Jade in the yard. Jade is a beautiful little girl, always smiling and laughing.
We enjoyed the graduation party for Kelsey Bush given by her mother LeeAnn Bush. Friends and family met at the Ogle Park Saturday evening to enjoy the good food and fellowship. Good luck to Kelsey as she goes on to good things.

The Relay For Life is almost here. Call if you want tot get on a team or if you want to by a balloon for the balloon launch with your loved ones names on them. That takes the place of lighting the candles. The names will also be posted on a board at the Relay, making it easier to read.
