Howard and Beth Collett met Rick and Collette Erickson and Don Argo at the Pizza Hut Thursday for supper, then attended the middle school ball game in which Hank Collett played. Keith and Anne Collett invited them to their home for coffee and dessert following the game.
There isn't much news. The weather is so cold people have stayed home to keep warm. I am carrying water to my horse. My outside water faucet has frozen and I can't get water there, so am carrying from the house. I am glad I have only one horse. I hope there will be better weather this week and people can get out.
