Monday Addition

From Brandy Potts

I just wanted let you know that Aunt Myrna Potts came home from the hospital at 12:00 yesterday and she was at church. Also Mr. John Jennings got hit by his tractor but his son stopped it before it ran over him. He was very lucky that his son was there. He is just very sore.
