Are you interested in composting? The Gretna Sanitation company is and they have a service that Murdock might be interested in. Please read the letter they sent me. Maybe you can start a grass roots composting campaign.

Millie_car1

Millie didn't like her car too much but it was better than walking! Too bad a deer had to run in front of her. Now she knows what "liability insurance" means. Very sad.

Josoff_girls

Hanna and Haylee Josoff, of Manley, are very proud of their new baby sister, Hayzel Louise. Hayzel was born on April 26th weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and was 21 inches long. Congratulations to Brad and Shannon Josoff!

Millie_prenant_belly2

While this is a funny picture it isn't something I'm ready for yet! Millie's Parenting class got to wear the empathy vest to simulate what it feels like to be pregnant.

Millie_prenant_belly1

It gave the kids an idea of what it would be like. I think they decided it wasn't something they wanted to try in real life right now!
