HALF AND HALF--Last Thursday was totally awesome, and that sunshine sure perked everybody up for awhile.

Unfortunately, the rains returned all too soon and were to last all week, so I can hardly wait for our next sunny day, or preferably, days! IN OUR THOUGHTS--Former resident, Brittney Robbins Haddix is living in New York now and it's been bitter cold in her...
