Sympathy is also extended to the family and friends of Betty (Ehrenfeld) Ernest of Cresson, a Lilly native, who also recently died. She is survived by a sister Jane Kunko here in Lilly.
SPRING
Spring officially starts this weekend and I welcome it with open arms. The few milder days lately were nice, at least the song birds were singing in the morning taking away the dreariness.
RECESSION
It amazes me when I read reports of the federal government who haven’t yet admitted the country is in a recession. With the high prices of oil and food, I and many others have been in one the past two years. I however have purchased one of the new fangled electric heaters that have helped tremendously with cutting oil use but have increased the light bill a bit. Besides that, I will now only buy Sunoco gasoline as they do not buy any oil from the Arabs.
Happy Easter to All.
