Mr. Jesse Corkern celebrated his 73rd birthday on March 1st. He was celebrated and surrounded by friends and family at his home. Lots of yummy cake, ice cream, and hot dogs were served and Mr. Jesse had the best time visiting with others. Mr. Jesse just keep on smiling, we all hope you had a grand day! You sure make my heart happy!
There was a great turn out Saturday for my brother Mike Sharp who is battling leukemia. (If you saw a picture of him, you wouldn’t guess anything was wrong.) My sweet nephdog BEAR was there selling “doggy kisses” for a dollar, along with others selling t-shirts, baked goods, raffle tickets, etc. Please keep Mike and our family in your prayers as we take this detour on life’s journey. There will be a Blood Drive on March 18th at District 7 Fire Department Central Station. I ask each of you if you can, please give blood or platelets. There are so many people out there who are in desperate need of blood and platelets. Also, if you feel led, you can join Be the Match for those who are searching for Bone Marrow Matches. I feel led to research all I can about these issues and programs not only for my family, but others as well.

Kindergarten, First, and Second graders read books and completed activities in honor of Dr. Seuss last week. Read Across America was a huge hit at the Enon Library as well. Make sure your kiddos go by the library and check out a book to add their name to the drawing for a giant chocolate Easter Bunny.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. If you have births, weddings, family reunions, or school activities you would like for me to share, feel free to message me. Until next time………….
