Still the weather has been on the dry side and very hot during the day, the nights have still been in the sixties for the most part. Gardens are really beginning to show the product of hard work by those who spend endless hours working in them. We had showers and thunderstorms last night and along with the thunder and lightning it rained for part of the night.

There are still VBS services going on in the area and some gospel meetings. The library has lots of interesting things going on during the summer, from story times for different ages and special events, and especially the upcoming event at the City Parking Lot. Check out their web site or even face book to see all the events going on. Children will love these events.

Praying for your family a very happy week with good health and that you are able to enjoy the things you like to do, many people cannot get out and do the things they want to so say a prayer for them and maybe send a card or make a phone call or visit. Hope all of you have a great week, June is nearly gone, half of the year.
