50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration Canceled Due to COVID - 19
As Butch and I were busy planning our wedding fifty years ago, we never took into consideration that the world would be suffering a pandemic of Coronavirus when it came time to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Who Knew? Right?
Our party on March 21st has been canceled. It has been fun in the planning – going through old pictures and old memories – putting together a slide show for your viewing enjoyment – never to be seen. Oh well !?!?!?
So instead of celebrating with all you on Saturday as planned, we will be sitting home on the couch watching nothing on TV and eating macaroni and cheese. Send happy celebratory thoughts our way and envision the fun we could be having together.

Reading is important to develop language skills
By Diane Davies
The four language skills are reading, writing, listening and speaking. These four abilities allow us to understand and produce spoken language in order to communicate effectively with others.
As parents we speak with our children every day which is how we pass on language. However, we tend to use the same words and phrases in our everyday speaking. Reading books with our kids adds to their vocabulary on many differing topics while also exposing them to unique phrases and various ways of saying things. The more words they are shown the more words they will know and the more words they know the better.
Reading to our children facilitates the development of these language skills in them and expands their confidence in using them making for improved communication. Once again these skills show their importance of reading.
Happy Reading!
