The proprietor of Mochas & More, Laura Ray has started a campaign to thank the local emergency medical technicians and first responders for their dedication to the community by giving each of them a gift certificate for dinner for two at a nice restaurant. She has posted flyers and has donation jars up, with every penny donated going to the local emergency responders. Stop by Mochas & More during business hours, and donate to this good cause.

Well, the last of our 10 baby puppies will be going to their new forever homes later this week with our nephew and his wife, here visiting from Yucca Valley, Calif. Rajah will be living with them and Loki will be living with our other nephew not far from them. So pleased that they are taking them.

As an added bonus with this visit from our nephew, Mark and his wife Melissa, they brought two more generations of the Fredrickson family with them. Their son, Mark and his wife Britney and their delightful, smart little 4-year-old son, Ethan are here as well. Everything is new and exciting for this little boy from the desert area in California, and he can’t seem to get enough of country life. What a great way to spend time with some of our family. Thanks kids. We hope to see more of you soon.
