Goodbye 2016 - Hello 2017!

Hope the new year is not so turbulent as the last one and good

health bestows its blessings on you all.

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's

conscience." -Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird.

This quote seems appropriate considering the election of

2016 that just won't end!

Condolences to the families and friends of Helen (Wenninghoff)

Eis and Norma (Moss) LaFollette, who both passed away on

January 1. They were both such wonderful ladies and will be

truly missed.

Our holidays were busy, filled with family and fun...a

vacation would be nice about now!

In case you haven't celebrated enough these last two

weeks, here are some more reasons: January is National

Oatmeal month, January 8th is National Bubble Bath Day,

and January 23 is National Pie Day.
