PET OF THE WEEK

Body Meet Twofie. Twofie is a little shy at first, but he is warm and sweet within a short period of time as he gets used to you and leans into your hand for pets. He finds companionship with his brother Kid, and he is a laid-back dude who would love to hang out and watch TV with you.

Quilts of many colors

Body The annual quilt show was held this past Saturday at the Sunshine House, showcasing the talents of local quilters.
Robbie Ann Burns stands beside one of several quilts she had on display at the annual quilt show this past Saturday. Burns’ quilt is entitled “My Story on a Bookshelf” where she commented, “I don’t believe any book should be banned. I think we can learn something from all of them.” The quilt listed many of the books Burns had read over the years, and although she’d had several offers to buy it, she turned them down.
