SUSIE AND JONATHAN HARTNESS COVERED LOTS OF DIFFERENT AREAS, RUNNING TO WAL MART FOR NEEDED SUPPLIES, HELPING SONDRA DRON WITH WINDOW DRESSINGS, CLEANING MASTER BEDROOM WINDOWS, AND OTHER DETAILS WHENEVER NEEDED. WE THANK SONDRA FOR HER SPECIAL GIFT OF PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER IN SUCH A LOVELY WAY.

PAM MUMFORD HELPED RELOCATE FURNITURE AND THEN PITCHED IN IN TO MANY WAYS TO MENTION, BUT ENDED BY WASHING THE DINING/ROOM KITCHEN FLOOR WITH A NEAT LITTLE GADGET CALLED A "FLIP IT". WHAT A WONDERFUL LITTLE MACHINE, AND HOW IT HELPED SAVE TIME AND ENERGY!! THANK YOU, PAM!
