BURSITIS is very painful. Let me know (lavern921@aol.com) if you have advice and have been through it. A big pain in the B!
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME is over. Now we have dark evenings, kids waiting in the dark for the bus, and so on.
Thanks to our pal Geneva Thomas, who lived at the Christmas House on 3rd and Park. Geneva was a victim of the 2013 flood who now lives in Mead, and says hello. Thanks Geneva. We miss you!
LYONS HAD A GLORIOUS HALLOWEEN. “Rave to the Grave” on Friday night had more than 750 people in attendance. Proceeds benefitted LEAF. On Saturday, we had games and a huge parade, followed by the trick or treaters. Then on the 31st, it was not too cold for the kids to go out for more treats, with about 130 trick-or-treaters in Stone Canyon, 100 in Lyons Valley Park, and others scattered around town. Thanks to Jeralyn Berner and her cohorts for putting on the Halloween Z-Tour, and all who donated items to sell at the Rave to benefit LEAF.
