Smile Re: Up to the minute news....

Was suprised today with a bit of good news for this little town of 3500 in southern Idaho. We recently set up a community Food Bank to help those in fiinancial distress, and today I had a phone call from "The Ark"... a van which comes around to homes every few months to collect used clothing, household linens, etc... also for the community needy.

Neighbors are waving at each other as they drive or walk by.... used to just ignore each other.

Then the local TV news showed a talk about our long-standing water rights problems, and the monitor said "Let's stop looking for 'winners' and 'losers' and work together to find positive and beneficial solutions for all of us."

OH, things they are a-changing.... slowly, but surely,
Hugs, Marilyn
