Saturday Morning Weekly Report

It was bound to happen… We could not have burritos this morning because there were no eggs on store shelves.  We wish good health for all of the animal world. Thank you to Pemco Insurance for your creativity and a delicious breakfast!  We enjoyed hash browns, sausage links, hard-boiled eggs (You buy what is available) plus milk […]

Our Neighbors were guests for brunch on Saturday morning and they certainly enjoyed it.  Thank you to the team from Holy Rosary Catholic Church.  Of course, they prepared the required burritos.  They added sausage links and VERY WELCOME macaroni and cheese.  Thanks so much for your creative menu and welcoming serving to our Neighbors.  It
