Good morning to all my readers both near and far. Hope you are all having a good day today. Today is Aug. 24, this month is nearly gone, only seven days left. Time really flies when you get old. My mother used to tell that and I did not believe her, but I sure do now. Ha–ha.
Happy belated birthday to Bobbie Briscoe, who won the WNOI Birthday cake and balloons on Monday. Hope you had a great birthday and many more to follow.
School is in session again so watch for the big yellow school bus and drive cautiously. Watch for the children riding their bicycles as they may not watch for you. Drive carefully.
