Editor’s note: We normally don’t run letters to the editor on the front page, however, this one says a lot about the area we live in and the care our community has for one another.
In last week’s Journal-Sun, we inadvertently left out a name in the 10 foot tall snowman’s builders. The cutline should have read... Five friends - Danielle Smith, Stephanie Garrett, Candace Nuckels, Matt Hinton and Kendall Nichols - took advantage of this rare occurance and spent six hours building a truly Texas-sized giant snow cowboy. Standing at 10 foot tall, the five had the help of a Kubota and several stepladders to place the higher tiers. Montana, the dog, “helped”. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

“We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” That old saying you are only as old as you feel brought new meaning to us today at Wesley House Assisted Living. Our staff members Amanda and Robin wanted to sled down the hill for our residents. The residents were lined up in the building to watch. As they finished up, out walks Lenore Schall “I’m ready and I’ve got my boots on.” She wanted to sled.... at 86 years old! Not once, not twice....but three times. She said “I am having the time of my life at almost 87 years old.” This tiny woman created a memory that none of us will ever forget. Courtesy Photo
